The style was fantastic.

Usually when something is a "throwback" or "retro" it misses the point of the aesthetic of the era it is throwing back to.

It was a beautifully dirty looking cartoon (By dirty I mean dirty, not sexual or anything) but to look so intentionally is a brilliant choice... brilliantly executed.

Sometimes surreal, sometimes expressionistic, it's a cartoon that uses it's medium to its potential. The animation itself becomes part of the overall look of the show.

Obviously intended to recall the style of Shool House Rock Animation, Robot Jones is still sorely missed.

Not being a kid anymore, I wasn't an avid watcher of Saturday morning Cartoons, but I found this one irresistible. Sorry to see that it has gone.

The story goes that before he died, Nitzche became increasingly despondent and anti-social. One day, just before madness completely consumed him, he walked up to a donkey and said something like, "We're both asses, you and I." He then promptly blacked out.

He spent his few remaining days institutionalized and quite mad.

That's how the story goes... or at least one version of it.

That's what I think Dellamorte Dellamore is about. The ultimate understanding is realizing that we know nothing and that all the joys and pleasures of this life are but hallucinations.

Death Worship (or obliteration of the self).

You can cling to your life... to those illusory straws you grasp at that you use to define yourself... or you can fess up and admit it. You're an ignoramus. Me too.

Doesn't sound like it, but it's a lot of fun along the way!
