"Where'd you learn to play? In a cave?" "In a TRENCH." That line was COLD.
-
Art before: Dogs playing Poker. Art now: Cats playing Chess.
-
"In a TRENCH..." It's amazing how one simple line can teach you so many things about someone...
-
"The ballistic aspect of this game" is a phrase which will now officially join my lexicon.
-
A LOT of soldiers became extremely proficient at chess in the trenches. WWI was often weeks/months of extreme boredom broken by sudden outbursts of mind-shattering horror.
-
This is the most intense chess game ever recorded in Lackadaisy history.
-
i find it very funny that mordecai is so expressive with his tail, in comparison to viktor, whose tail doesn't move at all. even though mordecai likes to play poker face, viktor's the real deal
-
The idea of the cold soldier and intelligent socialite dynamic has never been as well-expressed in media as these 2 are. You make me excited for when the show is finally released.
-
Never in my life have I been excited to watch two cats play chess lmao
-
“I wonder why the ballistic aspect of this game was never formalized” Golden
-
He knocked off the chess set from the table. This really is a show about cats.
-
i LOVE the way mordecai moves as he says “some half-cocked variation of the dizzy whippets defense”; the way his shoulders bounce with emphasis on every syllable, the disgruntled flip of his paw, the increasing frustration in his face — it’s an incredibly detailed and acute execution of body language. kudos to the amazing animation team, as always!
-
Happy to be back and contribute my first rough animation work for the show. Enjoy everyone! :D
-
Sungwon becoming the official voice for Mordecai is the best thing that has happened to Lackadaisy
-
"In a trench." That singular line coupled with the way it's told tells you so much about Victor.
-
When he said "In a TRENCH", I was actually quite shocked. Serious and cold moment right there.
-
Props to Sung-Won Cho for saying all those strategy names without cracking up.
-
"Where'd you learn to play? In a cave?" "In a TRENCH." Made me audibly fangirl
-
Love the classic ‘throwing something out of the scene and it hits a cat’ aspect where the cat with the broom is on the ground lol
-
Mordecai: "What is your strategy????" Viktor (and me): "Chess"
