Chowder and Mr. Toon Link
May 2008
Wacom Intuos 9x12

Recently I've allowed myself to fall in love with a new show - Chowder, on Cartoon Network. I don't like new things too often, but in the case of Chowder, it was well worth my time. It's got one of the creative minds from SpongeBob SquarePants, making a cartoon that's full of references to video games, based on a world where everything centers on food.

I didn't watch the show until I caught a commercial for the episode "Chowder and Mr. Fugu". In it, Mr. Fugu, a balloon-like entity who is carried around on a string by a valet, takes Chowder on as his valet for the day. His regular valet, a large-eyed fortune cat, stays behind at the kitchen with Mung Daal (the blue fellow) and Shnitzel (the rock monster). The commercial in question depicts the cat, somehow creeping out Mung and Shnitzel, and only saying a deep-voiced "Meow? Meow meow meow? Meow meow meow?"

In the chat room the other night, it came to mind to replace the cat with Toon Link, for maximum creepy factor. I hope you enjoy the outcome.

Trivia: The cat's name is Foie Gras, and is voiced by George Takei.

I've seen a few fanarts of that Shnitzel fellow recently but have otherwise never heard of the programme.

What I find more interesting is to see some proper "wacky" cartoon art from you, instead of your usual comic work.
Did you draw the background yourself too?

I found that out on the creator's blog about five minutes after I posted the picture. But thanks! I had already suspected it was George Takei, but Cartoon Network butchers the credits to the point where I couldn't check.

I did not; It was originally a screen grab of the three of them (Shnitzel, Mung Daal, and Foie Gras) but there was bad GIF artifacting all about and it was about a fifth of its current size. I resized it, I re-drew Shnitzel and Mung as they appeared in that screen capture, drew Toon Link over Foie Gras, then blurred the background to kill the scrambly mess.

Well I think what's important is that Toon Link is nightmarish.

You can see a picture of Foie Gras here - [link] - and see how it was easy to make the leap to Bombing Some Dodongos.

Sort of like jello in between a woman's hat and a llama that eats turtle hair.

He already has some measure of experience with running around and swinging a sword.
