unfortunately MTV is off the air, but it was 30 years ago that my cartoon, Espresso Depresso premiered on Cartoon Sushi. The coffee culture of Starbucks had yet to take hold and life was free of social media and smart phones…so people were left to confront their deepest woes at the cafe…
the animation was quite primitive due to limited technology, but I was going for a satirical sketch and so staging and animation were limited and emphasis on design, music and dialogue even though the sole survivor just laughs maniacally and pours caffe on his lap.
