The Devil and Isadore Freleng
I mentioned before, in an earlier Looney Tunes story, that Friz Freleng does have an affinity for the macabre in his Looney Tunes cartoons. A big part of it is his depictions of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with three shorts playing out that story. But the affinity also includes an even darker depiction: the Devil. We have seen Heaven and Hell depicted in classic cartoons before. Tom and Jerry gave us the famous short, Heavenly Daze, where Tom ends up in Heaven after his latest chase, but faces heading to "the other place" if he can't receive documented forgiveness from Jerry.

KAOS: Netflix's Lightning Bolt Cancellation of a Masterpiece
I am currently on my second rewatch of KAOS. If you haven't seen it or haven't heard of it, and you have or are near a Netflix subscription, I strongly recommend you give this five-star show a watch. A show which the Guardian labelled a "masterpiece". I'll wait. Have you watched it? Great! And yes, it has been cancelled. I feel your pulsating rage. I feel your blood boil. It is like being hit with Zeus' lightning bolt and your soul being turned to stone.
