Welcome to weird shit Wednesday featuring CHANNEL X CARTOON SHOW by Robert Morgan. Robert Morgan has spent the last two decades creating a body of work characterized by nightmarish stop motion, and described as a disorienting trip into the subconscious. Morgan has sited Francis Bacon, Edgar Allen Poe, and The Brothers Quay as some of his biggest influences.
Critique:
CHANNEL X CARTOON SHOW is a David Lynch-esque trip down a schizophrenic rabbit hole of unholy hallucinations, dire feelings of dread, sheer psychotic terror, and suicidal insanity.
We here at FYB are Devilishly Delighted to Bring Our Fans this Insanely Savage Slice of Hellish Horror known as THE BLACK BULL INCIDENT!!!
SERIES SYNOPSIS: Longshoreman Jon Hader feels awful for Abandoning His Friend Tommy during an Incident Outside the Back Bull Pub in London. Meanwhile the World is Going To Hell around Him. The Black Bull Incident is an Original Animated Story Presented in the Style of a Graphic Novel, with Narration, an Original Music Score, and a Visual Effect which Blurs the Boundaries between the “Reader”, and the Stories on the Page. Delivered in Episodes, it Presents an Account of What Happens following the Emergence of some Sinister Pathogen which Leaves in its Wake the Full Horror and Malevolence of Medieval England when it is Released Upon the Unsuspecting and ill-prepared Modern World.
AESTHETIC STYLE: The Technique and Visual Format for BBI makes Use of Original Photographs (Stylized/Post-Produced/ Cut Out), it then Plays with Depth and Layering of the 2D assets to give a Three Dimensional Perspective to the Imagery through Parallax. Essentially it Pushes Scenery to the Background Deep in the Page, and the Action further Forward. At Time, the Technique and Story Additionally Breaks the Forth Wall.

For this Installment of Animation Abominations FYB is Happy to Present The Surreal Stop motion Horror by Sam Barnett who also served as Director.
The Plot is rather simple as it centers around Nondescript Man who is Isolated in a White Room with some Odd Black Lines that make a vague symbol of some kind. The Man Tears Himself apart Piece by Piece as each Piece rolls itself into an “Egg” that rolls into an Adjacent Room. In the Alternate Room there is a Mutant Creature who Devours the Eggs Enthusiastically, and then produces Blood that is collected in a small Pool that has a couple of Tubes extending out from the Wall above it.
As the Isolated Man sacrifices His Feet, Shins, and Thighs He opens a Cupboard where a Fetal Being is Lying Motionless. The Man Connects a Tube via a Huge Needle to the Fetal Being where the Tube pumps Blood into the Fetal Being. In an Unforeseen Twist the Man Rips off His Head Off (having already having used BOTH his legs) and pinches His Neck assumably to keep from Bleeding Out. The Man’s severed head rolls into the Adjacent room, BUT instead of being Eaten by the Mysterious Egg Eating Mutant Creature it ends up Impaled on a Microphone Stand which is sitting in the Middle of a Stage. A single Spot light shines down to illuminate the Head and Mic Stand as the Sound of Static (or Dead Air as its called sometimes) before an Unknot Person removes the Head and exits the Stage. The Camera lingers for a few additional seconds before adding too Black.
So what the fuck is going on Here, What’s the Point Really? Our Best Guess is it’s an Artistic Representation of Life and Death. The Old Sacrifice Their Actual Lives Physically/Emotionally/Mentally to Help Raise, Educate, and Bolster the Next Generation coming after it. Think of how much Parents personally Sacrifice for the Betterment of Their Offspring. In the End the Parent(s) have dedicated (or given) Their entire existence to the Child from its Birth until The Parent’s inevitable Death. Enjoy.
This Installment of Animation Abominations features BOBY YEAH By the Extremely Talented Artist Robert Morgan in Association with Blue Light. Morgan’s Various Works of Art would make Maynard James Keenan (and The Rest of the Members of Tool) Green with Envy and Clive Barker Blinded by Jealousy.
Plot Summery: Well what could I possibly sat about Bobby Yeah other than it seems to be a Tale of The Main Character Bobby’s search for Love/Friendship/Comfort in His Own Surreal Personal Inter Dimensional Hell. Along the Way Bobby encounters Monstrous Mutant Creatures Some Aggressive, Some Insane, and Some I have No fucking Idea What They Are Honestly.
If I had to make an Educated Guess I’d say Bobby Yeah is a Social Commentary on the Alienation, and Longing People Feel as They haphazardly Navigate Through (the Highs and Horrors) of Life looking for Companionship and Affection.
We here at FYB Hope You Thoroughly Enjoyed Robert Morgan’s Insane Odyssey BOOBY YEAH as much as We Did/Do.
