Thread 150760078

It feels like /co/ has gone radio silent since the release of the pilot. So what's up with Lackadaisy?

I fucking wish. It's an overrated piece of shit, even putting the original webcomic aside. It only got traction because of all the idiots that desperately want it to be the next Helluva Boss.

>>150760078 (OP)
There's nothing to talk about, they've been working on the show but there's supposed to be some big announcement soon.

>>150760078 (OP)
Nothing is up, that's the thing.

If only something was up

>>150760078 (OP)
The webcomic hasn't updated in five years. That's why.

>>150760078 (OP)
I lost all interest when it got a cartoon.

>>150760078 (OP)
The song featured in the Glitch partnership trailer bops.

ANNOUNCED 15 MINUTES AGO

IT"S A GLITCH SHOW NOW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHq4ppmUPsA

>>150763838
In a "presented by Glitch Productions" sense, not a "Glitch Productions production" sense.

>>150763838
I'm guessing this is the reason why OP started the thread.

>>150760078 (OP)
APPARENTLY THIS.

https://youtu.be/BHq4ppmUPsA

>>150764051
Possibly, but that would require them knowing the video would be posted in advance. OP made the thread nearly half an hour before the video released.

>>150763838
>>150764073
I'm happy because 10-minute episodes was an absolute crime for something like Lackadaisy.

>>150763838
Also noticed Iron Spike has completely scrubbed it off their website and socials, so I am assuming that partnership didn't work out.

>>150760078 (OP)
I just wanna fuck the flapper cat.

Mitzi's so pretty

>>150764073
holy fucking shit!
So they're doing real jazz instead of dubstep now?

>>150764304
It's diegetic vs non-diegetic sound. Of course Mitzi isn't going to be performing electroswing.

>>150764337
I'm into it. I wouldn't mind hearing this sort of sound throughout the series. The electroswing stuff always seemed weird to me.

>>150760078 (OP)
So OP is a Glitch intern, right?

>>150763838
Kewl. No matter how long it takes, I'm looking forward to seeing the show get released!

>>150764304
I was just listening to Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy just before seeing the new viddo, so I welcome the change

>>150764366
Not every post is made by a shill, you paranoid fuck

>Tracy saying they're keeping the cast from the pilot
I swear this is like the second or third show to be like "we're keeping the original cast", the Hazbin thing really pissed people off I guess lol

>>150764477
That was the first thing I thought too. When they said they were keeping the original cast and core crew I was like "ooooooooooh shit".

>>150760078 (OP)
I liked the comic, glad this got picked up

>>150764451
He made a Lackadaisy post right before Glitch announced they picked it up. That's pretty fishy it's if stupidly good luck and timing.

>>150764404
Definitely Squirrel Nut Zippers. They're closer to the 20s style jazz. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy are more 40's swing.
I'm really happy that they're going traditional. I was waiting for some sort of ridiculous bass drop and wubs or something when the camera panned away to the crowd.

>>150763838
The animation is fucking gorgeous. This series can't drop fast enough

>>150764477
Well that was a ~really~ dick move.

>>150764051
>>150764525
I don’t think they have inside everything
I think they just connected that Lackadaisy posted that a big announcements for the series was coming in fall and Glitch panel was going to have a big announcement and that they were the same thing

>>150764628
especially sending a mass e-mail to all the actors with the subject "Thanks!"
along with the message that essentially amounted to "...but pack up your shit. You're outta here, losers".

>>150764631
this. Not everything is some huge conspiracy. Plus, why the fuck would people bother shilling shit like this here. The majority of anons are just going to take a shit on it anyway, and a handful will become stalkers and force people who worked on this to make their social media accounts private.

>>150764366
Maybe, or maybe OP got lucky posting today.

>>150764631
>I think they just connected that Lackadaisy posted that a big announcements for the series was coming in fall and Glitch panel was going to have a big announcement and that they were the same thing
Not OP but I guessed the same. Actually should've seen this coming when Tracy and Glitch got buddy-buddy like over a year ago.

>>150764658
Because it's easy. And it gets a lot of views.

>>150764691
if you're going to shill, you generally want to do it to people who are going to give you a positive reaction. Shilling to trolls doesn't do you any good.

>>150764286
I know we say it for a lot of things but really with the Glitch mainstream audience now included this is going to get A LOT of porn

>>150763838
>set in USA
yawn
>they prohibit alcohol!
who the fuck cares about alcohol other than drunkard hobos? is this really what the show will be about? cats drinking alcohol when they shouldn't? that's the big hook?

>>150764781
You say this as if the furries haven't already run wild with Lackadaisy porn

>>150764868
when alcohol was federally prohibited, gang activity rose in response to provide for the general population which still wanted to consume alcohol. The show is less about cats drinking and more about the crime and gang wars that went on as a result of running illicit substances.
If you can't see how that could be entertaining, then perhaps Thomas the Train is more up your alley.

>>150764706
I know for soulless joyless freaks it's hard to understand, but some people actually comes to the comics and cartoons board to talk about comics and cartoons

>>150764909
so it's like drug cartel wars, but less interesting because it's about pansy shit like alcohol that doesn't even cause enough of an addiction to warrant committing crimes for it. got it.

>>150764909
That anon was probably home-schooled, so they don't know about Prohibition, or anything for that matter

>>150765031
yes. Which is precisely what we're doing now. And precisely why a fan might post about something they enjoy watching. But to think that someone was paid to shill to a demographic that is stereotypically full of degenerates is ludicrous.
Why is it that every time someone posts about actually liking something, it's accused of being a shill?

>>150765056
or more like not everyone knows or cares about a period from 100 years ago when people couldn't get drunk as much in the USA and that was irrelevant everywhere else in the world.

>>150764477
real shame because this is the one indie toon where I'd welcome the Great VA Replacement.

>>150765093
>they banned our lollipops? THIS DEMANDS BLOOD! YOU ARE THE IMMATURE ONE IF YOU DON'T SEE HOW SERIOUS THIS IS!

>>150764868
anon prohibition was the very origin of illegal street racing and hotrodding.

>>150765347
You'll understand when you're old enough to drink, kiddo.

>>150763838
WESTERN ANIMATION IS SAVED

>>150763838
Finally glitch has something good on their catalogue to watch that isn't shit.

>>150763838
I'm glad they have some support, though I didn't think Glitch would be the one to do so. I wonder if they'll do the same with Soul Market.

>>150765347
(you)

>>150765827
Seems like they worked out a new deal which is why they're calling this "Glitch Presents" instead of "Glitch Productions". It seems like a smart move forward for both parties. I'm glad that Lackadaisy will be getting more support and holy crap, Glitch just keeps growing exponentially.

>>150765827
This is the first I've heard of Soul Market

based

I love the art and I love the setting, but I tried reading the webcomic and found the story literally incomprehensible.

What would dating Rocky be like?

>>150760078 (OP)
I'm just sitting here and waiting for it I guess. I am sad that the comic will likely never be finished and Lackadaisy in general has been something that has been in limbo for a while. I was so happy to see the announcement today, though.

>>150764205
Just looked, yeah. Wonder what happened. Books and merch are still on sale on the site though.

>>150769630
Dangerous, at least at first, but ngl I kinda fuck with that. I want to make him feel loved, and try to pull him away from his destructive lifestyle.

>>150769860
You can't fix him.

>>150763838
wtf, this is based
1) I didn't see Lackadaisy leveling up like this. The animation looks amazing
2) I DEFINITELY didn't see them partnering with Glitch

>FINAL SPACE’ and ‘GODSPEED’ creator Olan Rogers is the Head of Development at Glitch Productions.

>He's been working at Glitch for a year, helping creators with their pilots and helps overseeing Lackadaisy.

>>150771393
god fucking dammit, I hope he doesn't ruin it.

>>150771415
Were either of those shows bad? I've never even heard of the second one.

>>150763629
> Glitch partnership trailer
IN THE WHAT?!

>>150764073
Well shit, OP manifested major Lackadaisy news

>>150771718
From interviews, it seems he is a clueless idiot and Final Space was only as decent as the team 'tard-wrangling him during a particular season.

>>150774198
Glitch is a fake indie company. While their shows do have genuine appeal, they also heavily invest in guerilla marketing and astroturfing.

>>150763838
what a lovely song

>It's time for last call
>It's time for last call
>Let's have some fun, boys, there's nowhere to run now

>>150769567
Really? I found it all pretty easy to understand, even as someone who doesn't read a whole lot of comics.

>>150776808
she is totes adorbs!

>>150763838
Place your bets, /co/: which streamer is gonna nab onto this show for exclusive distribution rights? What would be the best home for Lackadaisy?

>>150761263
To be fair it's better than Helluvaboss (although that's kind of a low bar).

>>150763838
the dancing animations look jerky as shit. GLITCH really does suck the soul out of any creative property

>>150777250
Thanks for proving my point.

>>150776970
Netflix

>>150776970
Well, probably Netflix or Amazon since Glitch has some sort of deal with them.

>There is an extremely high chance that the backers of the original campaign won't be able to access the series after the episode without paying extra
Donating to kickstarters, not even once

>>150777706
I thought they said that it'll potentially be streaming first, then youtube.

>>150777726
They said exclusive streaming rights with the exception of episode one

>>150777824
Oop

>>150777706
They’ve been pretty good about sticking to their word so far. There’s nothing to indicate that they would leave backers high and dry like that. Glitch mentioned their productions would be on YouTube but that they couldn’t control “Glitch Presents” likely to lay down the groundwork for future productions as well since they won’t have total control over how those are released.

>>150763838
>IT"S A GLITCH SHOW NOW
Kinda hate to say it but this is the only thing that could get /co/ discussing it again.

>>150765725
Well... it's still not that good, writing-wise...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dY_idL5xjE

Is Viv's fanbase stirring shit with the big announcement or did they find someone else to scream at

>>150760078 (OP)
Why should anyone get excited for this show who isn't a trash furry?

No one cares about old prohibition era nonsense. No one cares about OLD gangsters, and the concept is worse off by being only about cats. They truly couldn't even throw an actual tiger or lion anthro to spice it up? Weak even by furry standards. Sincerely hope this fails.

The worst hing about this series is he main characters are lousy. And Mordecai is the only amusing one but he's voiced by a trash person.

>>150779630
TBF the webcomic paused years ago and they've been pretty quiet since the pilot/kickstarter from 2 years ago. I don't think it'll get much discussion here until it actually starts covering new story.
>>150780247
Viv fans and Glitch fans are like one circle. Frankly I think Tracy was stupid to turn down Viv's money unless there was a good legal reason for it.

>>150760078 (OP)
>Last updated 2020
The comic is dead. It's not coming back.

>>150781277
its an upgrade going from comic to cartoon dude of course its not coming back
Anything new would come in the form of more episodes and going back to comics won't happen for years and will probably be like a 5th anniversary of the shows ending or some shit

>>150781228
>Frankly I think Tracy was stupid to turn down Viv's money unless there was a good legal reason for it.
Not wanting to get into a protracted legal battle over rights or misconduct if a "IM NOT TOUCHING YOU IM NOT TOUCHING YOU" happens.

>>150761282
>There's nothing to talk about
This. Every time /co/ goes "silent" it just means there's jack shit going on.

>>150781228
>Frankly I think Tracy was stupid to turn down Viv's money unless there was a good legal reason for it.
weren't there ex-Spindelhorse crew working on her pilot? I'd imagine it stemmed from that.

>>150781347
Tracy's in her 40s and that's not anywhere near decrepit but considering how long this comic's been going, how long it takes her to draw even one page and the pace at which the story is being told I'm not surprised she decided to switch to animating it. She does plan on finishing the comic but if Lackadaisy takes off and becomes a big IP I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't.

>>150781959
I would assume at this point she would just release whole books when they are ready instead of just on her site so I would think that if she is still drawing it that she is going to release it at the end of the series release which would make it likely be very successful.

>>150763838
Jesus, that song is a real ear worm. I hope there will be a longer version at some point.

Thank fuck. That was so annoying.
>>150777706
>There is an extremely high chance that the backers of the original campaign won't be able to access the series after the episode without paying extra
They can hand out codes or something for a stream. The Bluray, which is all I care about, was always going to cost extra.
>>150781347
>its an upgrade going from comic to cartoon
Now she needs tens of millions of dollars to finish the story instead of 5-6 thousand a month from patrons.

>>150784295
They thought they were early Disney with the gay sketch line bs
Disney left it in to save money

>Now she needs tens of millions of dollars to finish the story instead of 5-6 thousand a month from patrons.
I never said it'd be cheaper but this will mean more fans can be made

Mitzi killed her husband

>>150785663
I still believe the "faked his death" theory.

>>150764691
I'm just posting because that line from Happy Souls never fails to bring a smile to my face.

>>150760078 (OP)
>It feels like /co/ has gone radio silent since the release of the pilot
It's not /co/, but rather the shills that were spamming thread, after thread.
My best guess? They moved on to shill for the next "big" thing, likely TADC and maybe now Knights of Guinevere

>>150760078 (OP)
>>150761263
>>150761324
This, this shit has been around since like the late 2000s to early 2010s, like around the early days of DeviantArt. It's gone nowhere and it's tried multiple times to lift off as an animated series especially with Kickstarter. It honestly is the least original line-up on Glitch currently.
>1920's swingers gangster prohibition alcohol runners, but as quirky cats
It's really not all that interesting on the surface.

>>150761324
i thought she was excited to finally get into the big plot behind the mystery of atlas’ death.
then the 5+ year hiatus happened.
just sucks she lost her passion for it

>>150761263
>>150789769
As someone unfamiliar with the webcomic, I found the main character in the pilot (the one with the fiddle) particularly dated and unappealing.

>>150761263
We're in an indie gold rush right now. Lots of people are supporting pilots left and right. I would have never known about Lackadaisy if the algorithm never pushed the pilot on my feed.
>>150789769
Do you think Tracy regrets spending this much of her time on a boring premise? Her art is amazing but "Prohibition with cats" is not a great hook. I know she won't ever ditch it since it's been 20 years but that has to be sunk cost fallacy. It's like a slightly more successful Neurotically Yours.

>>150791316
>since it's been 20 years
no freakin way

>>150791506
Comic started in 2006. We are 1 year away from 2 decades

>>150791316
>Do you think Tracy regrets spending this much of her time on a boring premise?
No. She's very interested in the time period and the city of St. Louis, where she lives. It's a passion project that's actually grown organically into what we see today. It wasn't even her full time job until she set up a Patreon in 2015.

>>150774877
Sooooo…investing in marketing means you’re no longer indie?

>>150781750
People tend to work across productions quite a bit. Some people who worked on Lackadaisy also worked on HH or HB, and vice versa. There aren’t tribal lines drawn in the sand like some people think. You go where the work is. If you complete your shots on one gig and they don’t have anything else for you at the time, you look for other stuff. Freelancers are often working on multiple projects at once.

>>150782840
Blessed anon. Thank you!

>>150789769
> It's really not all that interesting
Go back to Rick and Morty, tard

>>150795081
No small company working on expensive projects should have the extra money for that.

>>150795138
Indie =/= small
Indie =/= under-financed
Indie =/= self-distributed or self-published

>>150795250
How can a company be none of those things AND not attract the interest of larger corporations?

>>150795309
They probably have attracted interest at this point, but if any offers were made they clearly decided not to sell.

>>150795309
>>150795579
Also, my point wasn’t that indie CAN’T be small, under-financed or self-published, but that those things do not define what being “indie” is.

>>150795592
We are not as dumb as you think we are.
And you are not as smart as you believe.
