dccomics.com/blog/2017/11/30/sneak-peek-mike-feehan-previews-exit-stage-left-the-snagglepuss-chronicles >America in the 1950s was a pretty crazy time. It was the height of the Cold War and the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union was ramping up. The American counter culture was taking root within the cities, driven by writers, poets, artists and musicians. Television was dramatically transforming the way people were informed and entertained. And fear of communism had gripped Washington so tightly that it ignited one of the single biggest witch hunts in all of history, personified by Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
>However, as far as we know, there weren’t any large, talking animals writing hit plays on Broadway.
>But really, considering everything that’s happened since then, would it have really been all that strange? Certainly not to artist Mike Feehan and his collaborator Mark Russell (THE FLINTSTONES), the team behind EXIT STAGE LEFT: THE SNAGGLEPUSS CHRONICLES, a new six-issue miniseries that reimagines the sly, theater-loving pink panther as a gay Tennessee Williams-like playwright who gets enveloped by the Red Scare in Washington. The first issue of this thought-provoking and undeniably timely new comic hits stands in January, but we thought we’d give you a sneak peek at it right now.
The above link also contains an interview with Feehan.
I wish the art was better (mostly because both covers are beautiful), but it looks like its going to be a wild ride.
Landon Gray
That's huck, s.p. was yelling his gayness to the whole world!
Charles Miller
Gay village
Jeremiah Stewart
Yes, that is the implication. Nice work.
John Martinez
I'm so exited desu
Nicholas Fisher
Second panel has potential.
Benjamin Martin
The artist didn't know what to do with the cameraman's legs. He should have absolutely refrained from drawing him pantless. The art style just doesn't work well with that.
The pumas however look great.
Christopher Walker
So many waifus...uh, no furry.
Jack Torres
this looks fantastic, can't wait to see more!
Charles Walker
there isn't a single female character I've spotted so far that I wouldn't bang.
Jeremiah Myers
>Lila's fur and the journalist's hair change color between pages, and even between panels in the same page That's a piss poor job from the colorist
Zachary Young
Why is the cameraman the only one not wearing pants?
Dylan Gonzalez
No reason to wear pants if the camera can't see you
Zachary Wood
Snagglepuss is also wearing no pants in the cover.
Andrew Morris
Seriously, the art feels too much like creepy furry art, was really looking forward to this but now my excitement has been dampened a bit...
Benjamin Walker
I'm hoping they'll utilize Snagglepuss' classic mannerisms, though I will admit it's not too hard to read his dialogue in his voice so far.
Ayden Bell
there's no way they would have approached something like this and not have it come off as furry. you would kinda be defeating the point of a talking walking pink fucking cat otherwise.
Zachary Russell
in b4 not wearing pants ends up being a sign of closeted homosexuality
Kevin Rivera
If you're that sensitive to anything that even vaguely seems furry, you were never gonna like this
Tyler James
>big publisher finally makes a gay furry comic about time, thats where the real money's at
Xavier Mitchell
>shotapuss
yum.
Tyler Brooks
>cat person in dogface.
THAT's RACIST!
Grayson Jackson
What year do you think this is set in user? I bet you can't throw a rock during that time without it hitting a commercial where they got a tin pan Chinaman using a rickshaw.
Isaac Watson
Spacetwinks is going to be a millionaire
Bentley Mitchell
Komiksy as fuck
Logan Gray
>more shit about how wrong and bad the Red Scare was Please just make more Flintstones.
Camden Sullivan
It's 195X, NO ONE CARES.
Ryan Johnson
The concept legitimately sounds pretty interesting... but why ruin it with freakish furry fanart tier art? This book could have been something special but it seems to be pandering to the literal disgusting cesspit of humanity, fucking freaks who want to sexualize and fuck animals...
The more I type the more I wonder why I expected anything less in this day and age, fuck this timeline.
Evan Mitchell
I honestly don't see how you are construing it as furry None of the art is sexually appealing or titillating at all The characters have fur, that's about it
Levi Russell
anything with anthro animals = furry nowadays
Cooper Stewart
I remember when this was first announced, all the furries on twitter got annoyed because they didn't draw him sexy enough or some shit.
Liam Hughes
I bet anything the art is obviously drawn by an actual furry fan art artist, it’s fucking SHIT, I have nothing at all against anthro animals, but this is obviously pandering to fucking furries, don’t delude yourself
Jason James
mate if it was pandering to furries it'd look 10x more sexualized
Mason Anderson
>Snagglepuss's wife kek
Kevin Rogers
This art reeks of furry faggotry, don’t deny it
Aaron White
or youre just being an obnoxious faggot?
William King
This doesn’t surprise me at all if all they saw was the based as fuck Shaner art
Evan Powell
Hey did ya get that thing I set ya?
Sebastian Wright
It was Porter's art
Christian Hall
why are you engaging that faggot lmao
Aiden Torres
The art really isn't great but if the writing is half as good as Flintstones I'll take it.
Tyler Rivera
O ho ho ho ho.
Jason Murphy
Isn’t this like Blackface?
Owen Stewart
I have a lifelong boycott of anything that has ''chronicle'' in the title. Movies, music, books, shows, whatever. I can't stand that fucking word.
Brandon Campbell
I wish they used this artist for the whole book, not just the cover. It looks much better.
Julian Jones
Oh, quit whining. You're just uncomfortable that all the females in this are 9's. Get over yourself and just enjoy it.
Nathan Fisher
>he has a wife
awesome. he may not be the manliest character but doesnt mean he dont enjoy puss
Zachary Young
>implying McCarthy's communist hunting was wrong
Shit lib detected, why can't they stop hating america so much
Elijah Rivera
McCarthy only ever succeeded in outing obviously left wing actors and writers, he never uncovered a single actual Communist collaborator or spy. He was an alcoholic conman who got his shit punched in the moment he tried going after establishment figures in actual places of power, and he died a penniless joke.
Landon Flores
All these reboots of Hanna Barbera classics makes me wonder which of their IP's they will tackle next.
I swear they will make Top Cat into a high end mafioso and the story will be about them planning a heist with machineguns and getaway cars and everything.
Ethan Perry
And the Vietnam war was also justified to hunt communists.
Julian Parker
Ruining countless innocent lives over muh boogiemen and blackimailing people to just name names for the sake of naming names isn't right.
Matthew Barnes
Charlie Chaplin got exiled to the UK because they suspected he might have been a communist. There was no evidence. But the suspicion was good enough. Oh and they did the same to seven chairmen in the White House Congress.
Kevin Hill
>implying McCarthy's communist hunting was wrong Given that he never caught an actual communist in his entire witchhunt, and if anything made it actively difficult for those in power to legitimately root out KGB spies in the government, yes he was wrong.
Angel Thompson
There were even people if the fucking 80's that believed Tetris was a soviet conspiracy. Yes, Tetris.
Hunter Stewart
>Ruining countless innocent lives But that's exactly what the commies did.
Jordan Barnes
Village people?
Christian Clark
Question, do you complain about all the sexual assault allegations going around? Or how the libs treat Trump?
James Kelly
and maybe he could say the ends justified the means if he ever actually caught a real one.
Nolan Watson
well of course it was, it was spelled TETЯIS on several of the arcade sides. All that geometrics turns your brain soft. And red.
Jaxson Cooper
You realize that by the logic of your own argument you're saying that McCarthy was - at best - completely and grossly incompetent, right?
Ian Williams
There’s a word for what that woman is to him, but ‘wife’ wouldn’t be the right one.
Try ‘beard’.
Henry Sullivan
...Do you know what a Beard is?
Juan Harris
A little too early for pottery lessons in the morning user
Sebastian Johnson
Greenwich Village. Used to be the past all the LGBT people hung out for safety in numbers, back when it was just fine to beat someone to death because you thought they were gay.
Another survival strategy of gay men back in these times was to get married to a woman then just never sleep with her. Hiding in plain sight, as it were.
Cameron Williams
So it's just gay Bojack Horseman?
Liam Sanders
Did you not look at the last page of the preview? It's an arranged marriage, purely for societal expectations. Notice how they treat each other. Also, pay special attention to the second panel.
The entire comic will probably focus on how Snagglepuss has to keep a facade.
Hunter Scott
Except the characters will not all be horrible people being awful to each other.
Julian Murphy
Bojack Horseman is just a prequel to Dragon Ball.
Brandon Hernandez
>I swear they will make Top Cat into a high end mafioso
You're not wrong. The prologue for his upcoming series came out at the same time as the prologue for Snagglepuss.
He's a disgraced gangster leader who escapes from prison into the DCU with Benny. When Benny goes missing he's on a quest to find him.
Julian Roberts
>Wearing snoutface. That's racist
Sebastian Flores
Wait, are you serious? I just made that up on the spot as i typed it. I had no idea they had announced Top Cat.Guess that stuff writes itself.
Caleb Bailey
Yeah, I'm serious.
It's crazy how many times recently people have suggested Top Cat for one of HB's gritty comic reboots when...it's already in the works.
Carter Martinez
I shouldn't be surprised, yet i am. Also, i thought they'd look more like 30's gangsters. This is more like Bronx from the late 70's type of street gangsters.
Josiah Phillips
There was definitely a whole Goodfellas vibe to the whole prologue. When the series comes out proper I might start reading his voice as Liotta's.
Angel Williams
>Top Cat betraying the gang NOT COOL BRO
NOT COOL
Henry Perry
>that sad Chooch He looks like he got buttfucked in the shower.
Andrew Jenkins
this shouldn't make me so sad.
Jaxson Bell
Not sure if this is awesome or just bizarre
Zachary Powell
>people taking this bait Honestly I don't think it's even bait, just a sarcastic joke
Snoutface was an important cultural outlet, and should be seen as an artifact of it's own time.
Jaxson Sullivan
Interestingly enough, the furries redlined the fuck out of it because they thought it wasn't sexy. It's a deliberate effect. It's supposed to feel "off".
Nathaniel Ward
> literally a dog with shifty eyes in the third panel
Blake Gray
Are you people still going on about the furries? Let it go or I will start thinking that the lady doth protest too much, or however that goes.
Ryder Cooper
>lady Don't you go on misgendering me now you shitlord
