This is one of the first cartoons ever made specifically for the internet. How does it hold up? To start off, the audio is absolutely atrocious. The sound effects, the music, the mixing, the voices, etc. It all sounds god-awful. But, I will give Spumco some credit since this was made in 1997. The animation, while very rough and lacking frames, looks pretty good for it's time. Keep in mind that early Adobe Flash was limited in what you could do with it. However, it still looks a bit dated and almost unfinished. As for the story, it's very nonsensical. It's hard to summarize this without explaining the whole cartoon. It starts off with George Liquor American waking up his nephew, Jimmy the Idiot Boy, in a chicken coop after a random one and a half segment of watching a dog take a s**t as the sun happily watches an entire population of s**t come to life. George Liquor and Jimmy pray to God, thanking him for their meal, and eat their breakfast consisting of a ball of greasy bacon. Jimmy's aunt (who is George Liquor's brother's wife) calls George to ask to drop her kids off, Slab and Ernie, for a little while. When the doorbell suddenly rings, George assumes it's the boys. Instead, Sody Pop is at the door, asking Jimmy if he wants to go swimming after buying a new bathing suit. After a strange sequence of Jimmy imagining her in a bikini, George Liquor declines the offer for him, crying out that he's a minor and shutting the door on her. When the doorbell rings again, George Liquor grabs his shotgun and prepares for Sody to stand at the doorway. It turns out to be Slab and Ernie, who proceed to fight with George. George Liquor introduces them to Jimmy before leaving to out shopping. In the end sequence, we see George walking away from his home as Jimmy is beaten up by Slab and Ernie in the background. The pacing of the story is sooooo slow. There are some scenes that go nowhere, like Jimmy drooling on the kitchen table as waits for his bacon to cook, which lasts for half a minute, or when they say their prayers to God, asking him to bless their bacon. Overall, this cartoon is pretty mediocre. I guess I'd recommend you'd give it a watch, but it's actually pretty boring.
