gushing about adam reed really makes me wish he got more love for his work, especially sealab, because the story is so bizzare and inspiring to me

the man literally

drunkenly stumbled his way into a PA job at turner/cartoon network studios

got fired for burning down a set at cartoon network

STOLE master tapes of sealab 2020

literally just took the assets and made what would be considered a ytp shitpost today

and had

THE BALLS TO SEND IT IN

UNSOLICITED

TO THE PEOPLE WHO FUCKIN FIRED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE

and when they bought it?????? he was like “alright well imma gonto europe for 3 weeks see ya later”

it just

AGHHHHHHH

THATS SOME REAL BIG DICK ENERGY RIGHT THERE FOLKS

and the fact that he wrote/“animated” sealab from their shared studio apartment with matt and a lot of the voiceover work was never done in a professional booth and rarely even recorded in person, they did shit over the phone or recorded voice messages via emails or fucking VOICEMAILS like????????????

adam reed is a god damn artist and so under appreciated i love him so much

and sealab was the flagship for adult swim, opening the floodgates for recyling hannah barbera animations and assets

sealab crawled so harvey birdman could walk

it was such an influential show but gets like no real fandom or recognition but its such a fucking

MASTERPIECE
