I submitted Sue and Kathryn to a print syndicate for consideration, mostly just to try it. I got the rejection email a couple weeks ago, and thinking back over this story line, where an evil teddy bear kills someone’s mother and mind controls two kids until they discover his weakness is being curbstomped for ten solid minutes and then one of the good guys jabs venom into his head… uuhhh… yeah I dunno if I can fault their decision.
I gotta figure if this were an actual televised cartoon this would probably become a banned episode. XD
Well … when you put it like THAT … 😉
“Sue & Kathryn, The Lost Episodes”
Considering the popularity of shows like Invader Zim or Ren & Stimpy, I can’t see S&K being beyond the pale. With the exception of Selkie, I don’t know if this would really go over well with the 8 year old demographic. Correction: They’d probably love it. Their parents would hate it.
And it actually includes plot elements, making it like the one banned episode of Pokemon with the Tauros. Nifty!
Or the Hot Springs episode of Outlaw Star that Toonami didn’t air due to an overabundance of partial nudity, yet is the episode where Gene (protagonist) gets the special weapons that enable him to win the final battle.
Yeah, this episode got pretty dark.
… Not that I have a problem with that. I’m glad it didn’t turn into the “everyone doubts the one telling the truth” plot that is so worn out. This was a good episode.
The evil teddy bear was a cool villain. I’d like to see more of his backstory some time.
Holy Carp, are the Laser Priests going to take Charla away?! Do they have some sort of test to see what qualifies as a harmful entity?
Side note: Dave if you read this, is there a PC term for the non human groups in S&K’s world?
I’m assuming that they are going to take Flame Bear away. Given what they just saw with Al and Tana meeting Charla, and the fact that they DO tolerate Kathryn, I think they will allow her to stay, as long as she doesn’t hurt anyone (which she won’t). They’re idiots if they leave Mr Fluffy and take Charla, and from what we’ve seen, they aren’t idiots.
They’re also up against two elves, two humans, two were-elephants, two wraiths, and one zombie if they try.
“One, possibly two entities” does indeed sound ominous. Methinks another dost be on the brother’s radar.
Heh, I assumed they were taking Mr. Fluffy away…should have specified. But since Brother Harold said possibly two entities..
Well, they’re not yet sure what she is. From their POV she just came out of nowhere and started attacking the bear, and now she’s singing and talking with the two humans who at least believe she’s the girl’s mother’s spirit.
I wonder if Charla would count as an angel, actually, or a guardian spirit, rather than a wraith?
Henri maybe?
