Description The title card to a cartoon idea I had that I probably will never make... If your wondering why Mat's white, it's cause he's dead.

Before you read further, I want to make sure you understand- Religiously, I'm agnostic- not by choice but just cause I can't get a grip on anything, and politically, I pretty much am tired of EVERYONE who tries to point fingers, cause lets face it, no matter how good an argument someone on either side makes, nobody on the other side will bend, so why bother(I myself am liberal, and I don't care who else isn't.). I should mention that cause this cartoon idea dealt with both religion, and politics (But then, pretty much EVERYTHING in Snooze and Mat deals with what's stupid in politics, so that's nothing new.) It's mostly a parody of a story I had on tape about a kid who falls into a coma and ends up getting a tour of Heaven as warning for him not allowing girls into his clubhouse.

The cartoon basically starts with Mat getting clobbered by a falling tree brance and "popping out of his body". He then meets this spotted bat(Yes- it's an actual species. It's also near extinction, which is why I chose it for this) who mentions being his "Spirit guide/guardian angel" and proceeds to be shown the afterlife- the thing is the afterlife isn't based on any one religion, but is a bunch of jokes about several religions- making fun of everything from the common belief that animals don't have souls, to God "Speaking to... Ahem... certain people."(That's the political part, btw...), to the anchient Romans religion where the gods bone, curse, and kill anyone they damn well please- I even make a joke about Mat asking to see 'The Bad Place', and he gets poofed there for half a second and he poofs back screaming "TOM GREEN FILM FESTIVAL!!!". In the end, Mat returns to his body and questions wheither it was all a dream or not... A lightning bolt strikes 5 inches away from his crotch and he says "I WAS CREATING AN AMBIANCE OF DOUBT!- DON'T BE SO TOUCHY!"

Anyway, don't hate me for this, it was just a joke I came up with years ago, and will never do in full.

You know, personally, I don't think you need to tell people how you feel about your personal beliefs, this is a classic comic gag and element.

Eh, it's an overpowering feeling to cover my bases, mixed with a nervousness of not being liked. Sorry.

Don't worry, just with me, I don't care what your beliefs or politics are, if your doing something for fun or for a gag, you don't need to explain it, 'out of body experiences' are classic in cartoons.

Nah dude I'm christian and even I find it humerous =3

I think people need to learn to laugh at themselves every now and then and get a freakin grip once in a while. After all cartoons weren't meant to be serious, they were ment to be laxed so that humans WOULDN'T be so serious all the time.

I never understood how anyone who ever loved an animal could think that they don't have souls... of course they do! (Although now I feel even worse about killing those wasps...)

Anyway it sounds like a great cartoon idea~ very All Dogs Go to Heaven/It's a Wonderful Life/last episode of Dallas-esque And the idea of Hell being an endless Tom Green film festival XDDDDD Also the spotted bat is cute. Is he/she male or female? Or genderless like Metatron in Dogma

...you know I still haven't drawn your punk bat character. One time I tried looking up pictures of real punk bats for references and couldn't find any... do you have any links?

battybuddy In reply to Togemon [2006-06-13 20:58:42 +0000 UTC]

Tell you the truth, haven't EVER worked out details on the spotted bat... It has no name, no gender (I actually have a few characters who have no gender as a joke on my own art style, since I don't have many differences between the sexes...) the eyes suggest male, so lets go with that.

And as for those wasps, don't worry- they are being reworded by the World Flower for caring for her children on Earth (Read the comic Clan Apis for the referance- it's this real cool comicbook on the life of bees FROM the viewpoint of bees, and that's the believe bees have in the book.)

Oh, and to help your search for punk bat pics, it's genus and species is Tadarida Chapini, and it's also known as a Chapin's Free-tailed Bat. Picture is here: [link] in the upper left.

Lol. I learned about the punk bat and leaf nosed bat from the second of a two part game series Sierra did once called "Ecoquest", following the adventures of a boy named Adam trying to help animals (First game Adams about 6 or so and is trying to help this sociaty of fish find their lost king; a whale name Cerus, the second had an older Adam trying to find an heir to this giant tree called "Forest Heart"... I like the second one better cause it has cooler characters.) I would do fanart but... well, I had some baaaad thoughts about Adams feelings for his sidekick, a bat named Paqueta, in the second game... Damn, I'm a sicko...

Yeah, that was one of the arguments. (Tell you the truth, the Indians myths are some of my favorite... Next to, of course, the stories of Raven and Anansi..)

Lol.
Maybe, the thing is I have a naming system for a lot of my species, and the Bat naming system is a name that suits their innermost self (Mat's passive, so he's like a doormat... Hence, Mat.)
