It took me about a minute to get it. Maybe he doesn’t like crunchy crusts?
Tex Avery’s Car of Tomorrow from 1951.
Interestingly, one of the tag on this cartoon is ‘uncensored’ - apparently this is to do with the Chinese and Indian gags, as well as the 'woman driver’ ones.
One of the best comments:
As a car collector I can tell yuo the cars, the 1st one was the 47-49 Studebaker 4 door, From the side, it has a which way is it going look, Hudson had the “step down” style. The car wiith the sunvisor is a 50-51 studebaker bulletnose. The indian is a Pontaic chief convertible, The Ampibian car ( car/boat), The Buick stationwagon has the front end and portholes, Cadillac invented thefish tail, Chrysler “town & country”, Nash headroom, love this cartoon, thanks for posting it.
Hey everyone, if you haven’t heard yet, we’re promoting Aberford as a Concept on Steam Greenlight (it’s sort of a dress rehersal for an actual Greenlight Campaign). If you have a few minutes, would you do us a big favor and upvote us? Currently, we’re ranked #74 out of 4442, but I think we can crack the top 50 with your help.
Doing well in the concept helps us gauge how well we might do in a Greenlight Campaign, as well as helping us build a community on Steam.
Upvoted.
Normally I’m not a big fan of zombie games, but Aberford sounds a lot more fun. Especially since, instead of being set at the end of the zombie apocalypse, it’s set at the beginning. There’s still hope. And 50s style. And whacking zombies in the appurtenances with common household products.

@danismm - they might like it.
A quick editorial cartoon about the intersection of self-pity, entitlement, rape, territoriality, misogyny and fear of women. You see it all over the place online in the form of Men’s Rights Activists (of whom there are a few reasonable non-misogynists), Men Going Their Own Way, Pick Up Artists, and dudes touting the “Red Pill”, because The Matrix is a good movie. Look any of these up if you have the stomach for it. These are extreme examples, but watered-down forms of these ideas are everywhere.
In lurking their blogs and youtube channels for a while, I’ve noticed that beyond the standard patriarchal chauvinism there is this deep fear of women - what they will do to me, how they will reject me, how they will use me, how they are changing society in a way that does not favor me, how they are making men into something I don’t like, how they are making themselves into something I don’t like, that they won’t give me what I want, and that they won’t give me what I think is rightfully mine. This goes beyond fear of feminism- this is fear of women at its purest. And that, to quote a puppet, leads to anger and hate. It’s sad.
I am a feminist. I think there’s enough ice cream to go around, but it does mean those of us with 3 scoops might have to give one or two up. Also, The Matrix is a fun movie but probably not anything you should be basing a philosophy on.

Out trolling for pwotenshul Tumbwa fwends, I found dis. It funny.
A great little game that I thought I never would find again, since there are quadrillions of games with the words “treasure” and “tower” in the title. And since that was all I could remember, it’s taken me this long to find the bloody thing.
The gimmick is that every level is randomly generated from a set of styles, layouts and enemies, so you have no idea what’s coming. And the clock is constantly ticking down, drowned out by furious MIDI piano rags. I think it’s a fun time. Well worth having a bash at.
(The author found the original of this post and was pleased to learn that his game still delighted!)
There’s a game idea I’ve had for about 20 years, and for some reason (*cough* Phaser HTML5 game engine *cough*) I’m revisiting it. The basic play design, even the playfield, has remained surprisingly consistent, although now the humour is even more puerile and the art style draws inspiration from Roger Ramjet. Especially for the cutscenes.
