As some of you may or may not know by this point, but METAL GEAR FUNNIES won the Newgrounds Tank Trophy for cartoon of the year.
Yes its true.
Some of us were expecting it, some of us werent. Such is the way with things.
However, I think I am most proud of the face at how overjoyed the Newgrounds audience is, leaving such heartwarming congratulatory messages such as:
i did not know it got a tank award im amazid tomfulp orwho ever fagg decided to give this a award is a piece ak shit its awful i could not even watch the whole thing i actully cried a little this is sad i made my promise IM NEVER FUCKING GOING ON NEWGROUNDS AGAIN FUCK YOU STAFF FUCK YOU WEBSITE FUCK ALL WHO THIMK THIS IS EVEN OK OR GOOD THIS IS A SHITTRUCK THATS MY OPINION AND I THING MOST OF YOU AGREE OF WHAT IM FUCKING TRYIMG TO SAY HERE RIGHT GO FUCK YOURSELF STAFF
It truly brings a tear to my eye and my butt.
And so, to commemorate this incredible feat of skill and wit, the man who brought together Metal Gear Funnies, my good pal and fellow animator Bugediah B. Bugsmer (known in some circles as BUG has chosen the films I will be showing in this weeks GREAT CARTOONS POST: WE WON A FUCKIN TROPHY EDITION!!!!

the great grandpa of japanese animation. A friend of Stanley Kubrik and the creator of Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, and a whole enormous list of other famous cartoon characters I really cant be bothered to list because its HUGE.
Anyway.
Later on his life, he made alot of very different animations which are all wonderful to watch.
