[@V9incent]

He still can

[@RaccoonFoot]

That's debatable.

[@Medachod]

*+Coonfoot Productions* Not really. Even in APC, well it's objectively bad in humor, the animation looks stellar. You're free to say the scenes in the cartoon itself are hideous to look at, but that's more subjective than anything else. Objectively, it's an above average cartoon series as far as fluidity and quality go. Just wish Spike TV didn't force him to make it TV-MA and just aimed for TV-PG cause his work is at its best under a certain set of restrictions.

[@RaccoonFoot]

I'll admit, I did like SOME parts of APC, animation-wise.
