Chuck Jones Paintings

I have no harsh feelings to say about Chuck Jones's work specifically Looney Tunes. I think alot of his cartoons are highly influential and funny to me. But in my taste, he isn't one of the greats as being a director. I do have problems with his cartoons, his paintings though are a different story.

This is an unpopular opinion, but his paintings he made after the classic looney tunes went to its final stage and onwards, are actually brilliant.

I have never seen Coyote dream of him actually catching the roadrunner. I wished that was what the Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons were actually like instead of the same plot of him catching the same thing over and over again. 

I feel more drawn to Sam and Ralph's cartoons since in those, there are cartoons where the introduction is different and they have more characters by sometimes talking to each other.

I'll admit it, both of these paintings are gorgeous.

Robin Hood Daffy is probably one of my favorite Chuck Jones cartoons in the later era. I admire this one. Daffy's expression here is too impeccable.

Imagine what Foghorn Leghorn would've been if Chuck Jones made him. Promise me, it would've been alot less funnier and more wiser. I like his design though.

This is by far my favorite painting from Chuck Jones. Daffy + Fantasia's Sorcerer Apprentice would've been a hilarious parody.

I really like this Pepe Le Pew painting. This feels more "aesthetic" than the others I showed you so far.

Of course Chuck Jones himself was going to consider painting his more iconic scenes in his cartoons especially with Rabbit Of Seville, and I love it. This is coming from one of my favorite all-time frames in a cartoon ever.

List Of Cartoon Gags That Consider To Be Timeless

 

Cartoon gags matter in cartoons, even classic cartoons. In fact, all of these gags you've seen have been created and invented by golden age animation studios like Warner Bros. and MGM.

The most famous gag is definitely the eyes popping out. It's easily been done in a hundred cartoons already.

I enjoy the jaw dropping gag in cartoons. It's extremely expressive and really fun to animate.

Another timeless cartoon gag is when a character's eyes have some sort of symbol like a heart to show someone expressing love.

They also have money eyes. That means they can feel the sense of being rich and seeing a bunch of dollars and cents.

Eh... sometimes they can get a little too hard with the eye symbols. 

Powerpuff Girl's reboot made them have these happy emojis on their eyes and it kinda doesn't make sense and it's a little weird. Just stick to heart or money eyes.

An overlooked gag is the Screwball sign. How clever.

The lumps gag has to be my favorite out of all the classic cartoon gags because it can be so painful or just silly. It's incredible detail at times and it's a gag I want to do mostly in my cartoons. 

Dredd The Moose is probably going to get the most lumps. 

The sign gag is extremely well known in the Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons. 

The sucker gag is definitely genius. 

Gags like having the characters naked (in a appropriate way) is also funny. It mostly happens to characters like Donald, Foghorn Leghorn and Daffy.

Lastly, the jackass gag. Yes. When I first seen this gag, I was mind-blown that the animators could do whatever they want, and not care about how kid-friendly they want to be. I mean back then these cartoons were mostly aimed at adults in theatres, but nowadays I swear they need to bring this gag back. If that's not the case, then I'm doing it! 

I did some sketches my own gags and zany drawings last year, and I'm really proud of it.
