The first step of Ed,Edd, & Eddy's creator.

Before the success of Ed, Edd, & Eddy. Danny A. did this short about a cussing butcher who struggles to cut a perfect slice of ribs while on the job.

It's a short film, and it ends way sooner than you think while watching. Much like how watching "Adventures of Andre & Wally B." ends much sooner than you think too. Also see my review on that one.

There's nothing too special about this short, I gotta admit. When this was made, Danny was still an amateur in the animation business and it wouldn't be another 12 years until he and his future "A.K.A. Cartoons Co." would create the ever popular Ed series.

All great cartoonist start some where. And I do give Danny credit for doing the animation and character design on this short. It kinda makes me wish that A.K.A. would parodied Lupo more in Ed, Edd, & Eddy. Cause from what I know, that series didn't parody much of Danny's previous works which is an unknown question at the time being.

Be advised that this is a mature animated short. In other words it's violent and full of profanity at the same time.

The adult animation subgenre is aimed at mature audiences, typically consisting of content that explores complex themes, mature storytelling, and may include explicit language, violence, sexual content, or other adult-oriented elements. Unlike traditional animation that is often associated with family-friendly or children's content, adult animation caters to grown-up viewers who appreciate more sophisticated and often darker narratives.

The body horror subgenre features the physical and psychological transformation, deformation, or degradation of the human body. In body horror stories, the human body itself becomes a source of fear, anxiety, and disgust, often through graphic and disturbing depictions of bodily changes, mutilation, or alteration.

The dark comedy subgenre, also known as black comedy, combines humor with elements of tragedy, morbidity, or darker themes. Dark comedies often explore serious or taboo subjects, such as death, crime, dysfunction, and societal issues, while infusing these topics with humor to create an unusual and often thought-provoking contrast. The humor in dark comedies is typically edgy, satirical, and often unsettling, challenging traditional comedic norms.

The splatter horror subgenre, features extreme and graphic depictions of violence, gore, and bloodshed, showcasing visceral and shocking visual effects. Splatter stories are known for their over-the-top and often exaggerated scenes of bodily mutilation, dismemberment, and other gruesome forms of violence.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
