For some reason it seemed to me like a good idea to draw them in the style of Bluey.

Why is no one talking about how Jack Stauber is literally Bo Burnham but hard drugs version

My first Humdinger fanart vs present one, lol.

Peng - Tai Lung’s nephew

For those unfamillair the film Kung Fu Panda from 2008 was a huge hit. So much so it go itself sequels TV specials and a cartoon series named Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness. 

It’s a great show. It gives us a lot more information on the Furious Five, Shifu, and a lot of new characters. One of those new characters is Peng, Tai Lung’s nephew.

Now all the fans of the original must be pretty confused. I now will try to make sense of it by addressing all the inconsistencies in the lore and finding explanations to them.

1. Tai Lung doesn’t have a family, right?

Not true from the bat. Everybody has/had a family. Someone had to purposefully left him in front of the palace. It probably were his parents or one of his parents.

2. Why would they leave him like that?

Now that’s tricky. We never get information as to why he was abandoned. The keyword is nephew. A nephew is a son of your brother or sister, or a son of your husband’s or wife’s brother or sister.

We know Tai Lung never married, no girlfriend, no fuck-buddy, any one-night stands. Unless something new comes out and retcons it too. It’s most likely that Tai Lung’s whole life revolved around kung fu, training, and becoming a dragon warrior.

It must mean that Peng is the son of Tai Lung’s brother or sister, or a son of their husband’s or wife’s brother or sister.

The thing that changes everything is whether they left Tai Lung before or after his brother/sister was born. It could be that they haven’t been ready for a child, yet. Maybe they were too poor or had too many children, maybe even both. We just don’t know. There’s too little information.

3. Why didn’t they come back for him or tried to reach out?

It would’ve been awkward, to say the least. “Hey, we’re your parents. We left you here because we couldn’t take care of you, but now we can. Want to come with or keep in touch?” They are basically strangers. And appearing out of nowhere would seem like they want to gain something from having a famous relative. Before Tai Lung tried to steal the scroll he was kind of a hero. Just like the Furious Five and Po after him.

Besides, I doubt there is something like a paternity test in ancient China, even or especially in animation.

4. How could they know anything about Tai Lung?

Do you know how sometimes people that gave away their children are still somewhat interested in their kids well being? Just to make sure they made the right choice, and the kid is happy and safe. Also, people talk and gossip. They could’ve just dropped by a couple of times and asked “Who is this snow leopard?” and people would start gushing about how Tai Lung is so awesome and might be a dragon warrior.

5. Why The Jade Palace?

Well, why not? From Tigress’s backstory, it looks like “scary” animals might have a hard time fitting in with “cute” prey animals. Also, living in a palace where you can learn history, kung fu, and even become a hero beloved by everyone is nicer than possibly living in an orphanage until you’re too old.

There are still many questions and things that can be explored but I wouldn’t call them lore braking or contradictions. There is just more to the story and I hope we get more of it.

Peng only showed up in 3 episodes (I think) that mainly focused on him in the present and not his family and the past. I’m going to write another post dedicated to him in the future.

If you have more questions feel free to ask and I’ll try to answer them best of my ability.

I haven’t watched kung fu panda or the show in a long time. So I’m going to watch it to refresh my memory and maybe see something I haven’t noticed before.

obligatory reposting my bestie

While I’m working on a big Spirou crossover — which is why I haven’t posted anything for about a week — I thought I’d share the story of how I first discovered Zorglub.

Actually, Zorglub isn't a new character to me. Many of my followers might think that my hyperfixation on him started this spring, but that's not the case at all. The first drawing of Zorglub dates back to February 28, 2018. I was in my second year at a linguistics college at the time, so I dreamed of one day learning French and reading comics with him in the original language. I had seen the Spirou & Fantasio cartoon on the “Carousel” russian channel back when I was still in school.

Officially, you could say I’ve known Zorglub for seven years, and this year I decided to return to the character now that my drawing skills have improved.

On my Telegram channel, I share the process behind my works — sketches, lineart, personal thoughts — so there’s a lot more content there, including previews of future pieces. If you're interested and understand Russian, feel free to support me by subscribing.

DOGGOS

I highly recommend checking out the French animated series Belfort & Lupin, it's really awesome!!!

angel and husk getting married but afterwards angel makes the same joke over and over about how glad he is that they can finally have sex

THIS IS THE CANON ENDING IDFC I AM TRAUMATIZED

The movie's alternate ending is a happy one where everything turns out well: Stone makes Robotnik his favorite latte, and Shadow becomes a member of their small family.
