Some Insight On Ingenue, The First Mini-Episode Of Lackadaisy

Over a year ago, the pilot for an animated series based on the popular webcomics by Tracy J. Butler amazed us [53] [100] [101]. Our Lackadaisy lovers have sensed the best chapter approaching like a firefly to pounce on since after the reveal of some concept art associated with the first mini-episode [10], along with the announcement of all the voice acting sessions for all five episodes and three mini-episodes of the first season being completed a few months later [47]. Alongside the opening of the Hello Kitty Cafe in Vancouver [40] [41], the trailer for the first mini-episode of the series was released after the announcements of the second wave of Helluva Boss figurines from Youtooz and new Spring-themed Helluva Boss merchandise on SharkRobot.com that includes playmats consisting of quite a lot of possible symbolism [4] [5] [74] [113] [114]. A week later, the short was launched on YouTube to show that Lackadaisy is yet another webseries [51]. The title is “Ingenue” and we shall analyse the short like a good pack of felines chilling and hanging out at a bar in the Summer during the beta testing for the anticipated Sonic Rumble that is set to be launched this Winter [106] [107]. Has the first season begun as if it were the three of clubs [15] [18]?

As previously mentioned, it has been over a year since the release and acclaim of the pilot for an animated series based on a webcomic series starring anthropomorphic cats in the 1920s [53] [101] [102]. The marketing for The Garfield Moviehas been crazily ambitious with spoofs of posters for other films in 2024, such as Deadpool & Wolverine and The Fall Guy and so on [34] [94], but things were a lot more subtle in terms of simply marketing a new mini-episode of Lackadaisy that has been hyped since December [10] [52]. Let us proceed to analyse it in this year’s Gemini season [42]. [16]

The short is set in 1921, which is six years before the events of the pilot and a year after the U.S. Prohibition began, outlawing alcohol [51] [52] [53] [90]. At least there can always be a soda pop for the young ones and the teetotallers [51]. Once again, you can tell that Butler’s soul was put into historical accuracy and faithfulness to her iconic webcomics by the designs of the cars and the characters’ outfits [100] [101]. Personally, the illegalisation of alcohol in the 1920s and early 1930s would not affect me as I am a teetotaller [90]. Husk, the feline-like bartender and former overlord from Hazbin Hotel would respect that, wouldn’t he [66]? Well, hopefully, he would if I remain mature and respectful to him. Conker the Squirrel can consider himself lucky that his bad fur day is not set in the U.S. Prohibition [75] [90], yet it would still be quite fascinating to see him in either the Lackadaisy art style or in the form of a potential new friend for Mickey Mouse in his classic monochrome form from Steamboat Willie [51] [52] [52] [54] [97]. At least in the present day, Deadpool and Wolverine can cease their brawls for a can of beer like Heineken Silver [39]. The 100th anniversary of the events in the pilot ought to be celebrated in some way in 2027 after the 20th anniversary of the comics is marked in 2026 [100] [101].

1921 were the simpler times, huh [52]? I can say the same thing about 2008 and 2013 [35] [115]. Speaking of simpler times, still miss Vine [9]? I sure do. [52]

No wonder Talking Angela considered the roaring ‘20s “the cat’s meow” and sang a jazzy song about how glamourous they were in the tenth episode of Talking Friends [25] [100] [101]. Feel free to tune in to Talking Ben crooning about how peaceful and joyful the ‘60s were instead if you are more of a dog person though, unlike Eddie from the Helluva Bosspilot who is more of a cat person [69]. I wonder where he is in the Pride Ring of Hell these days. And surely, Zib would become a hippie by the time he reaches his mid or late sixties [11]. Good thing Lackadaisy is not set in 2016 [24] [46] [76] [89]. [51]

Look how adorable Ivy Pepper is as a preteen, sounding like a character from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic by the talent of Lisa Reimold [51] [77]! In 1921, she is the same age as Sofia, the girl who got the support and compassion she needed during her first period in the episode of Baymax! named after her that respectfully handled the subjection of menstruation [2] [92]. As cute as Little Ivy is in her yellow dress, she is quite snarky, telling a member of the Lackadaisy crew that he is quite a bad liar and vowing to not rat on him in exchange for a quarter [51]. Well, quite a lot of child characters, most notably at a middle school age are portrayed quite like that, as clichéd as it is, but still a lot more tolerable than ephebiphobia being an excuse for excessive and poorly handled stereotyping within blatantly lacklustre character writing when it comes to portraying a group of teenagers, especially in a fictional high school. As amusing as a younger Rocky dislocating his arms for apparent scientistic research purposes is in one of the promotional shorts [50], it is quite wholesome to see a younger Ivy Pepper be rather curious and a little cheeky [51], which would lead to her being the eighteen-year-old companion to two fellow booze-hunting felines [53] [59] [100] [101]. 

Some portrayals of preteens have not been as questionable as Greg Heffley from the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series [93], but not as compellingly deep in terms of relatability as Ginger Foutley from As Told By Ginger [3] [32] [78] [79]. As for Little Ivy in “Ingenue”, she is as adorable as Baby Octavia from certain episodes of Helluva Boss [22] [67] [71]. [51] [52]

Some of us have speculated that a new character revealed in the trailer is possibly Ivy’s father [95]. And yes, he is indeed [51]. It looks like Reuben “Ruby” Pepper never appeared in the comics [62], which makes the mini-episode notable for introducing him. What a joyful fellow he is, being a laidback father to Ivy and a gentleman to Mitzi May as he kisses her paw [51]. Despite this, it is likely that he and Effie, Ivy’s mother are about to get divorced or simply have been on the rocks since before New Year’s Eve [59]. Quite similarly to how “Ingeune” introduced Ivy’s father accompanying a younger version of her, the next mini-episode of Helluva Shorts or two could either introduce a child version of Millie with her family to provide some new backstory for her or expand on Stolas of the Ars Goetia’s fatherhood when Octavia was a little owlet [22] [67] [71]. Aside from how curious we have been about Mr. Pepper over a week ago, we are also curious about a new character named “Lacy Hardt” who is voiced by Ashley Nichols [12] [60]. She is yet to appear in a full episode of the first season and be compared to her motion comic counterpart voiced by Lisa Reimold [60].

Not only is there a little backstory for Ivy before she had just entered adulthood but also signs of her father apparently having a little trouble with his marriage before Atlas’ untimely demise [51] [53] [102] [103]. It all may only be brief, but it still leads to some curiosity about what can be revealed throughout the first season [102] [103]. [51]

Speaking of curiosity, who knows when Lacy will make an appearance, considering how the first season has only been teased last Summer [12] [54] [102] [103]? [14]

We last saw Mordecai, also known as “Killer Joe” by Ruby and Viktor Vasko compete against one another in a rather intense game of chess in another one of the promotional shorts [55]. In “Inguene”, Mordecai sparks a preteen Ivy’s curiosity, as well as her concern as she notices his broken arm [51]. You can tell that he is not exactly a parental figure you will find at a daycare centre, especially by how Ivy spots the gun in his waist pouch. As for Viktor, he is mocked but ultimately praised by Ivy before she complains about how antisocial he and Mordecai have been. Nonetheless, the car mechanic answers her question about the triggerman’s busted arm and spews some sass against his eventual chess rival [55], but later reminds her that she must exit the garage due to certain hazards [51]. Viktor’s portrayal is a vague reminder of Husk from Hazbin Hotel to me due to his lack of cheerfulness, insults aimed at Mordecai and cautiousness at times [66] [82]. As for Mordecai, the mini-episode is set five years before he left the Lackadaisy crew and became a major antagonist [51] [61], but he is still as dull as he is in the pilot [53] [100] [101]. I am curious to see how they will be portrayed throughout the rest of the first season, possibly including some backstory on Mordecai’s departure from the Lackadaisy crew and Viktor’s time during World War I [61] [63].

I doubt that Mordecai would be fond of roller skating, considering how serious his character is [51]. Kudos to him for being a non-smoker though [61]. As for Viktor, he is about as stern and reserved as him yet could be considered another uncle figure to Ivy [63]. [51]

Previously, we were touched by Mitzi May noticing Rocky’s talent as a violinist and saw Atlas, her husband looking quite stern and staying quiet in the teaser for the first season set in some time just before his death in 1926 [54] [102] [103]. In “Ingenue”, it turns out that Atlas is Ivy’s godfather and uncle figure. He does not say a word in the mini-episode, looking stern at Ruby…then smiling, which makes me suspect that he will stay muted to add some mysteriousness to his character [51]. But even without any dialogue, there could be a big moment of character depth for him, especially right before his murder in a full episode. Quite similarly, there ought to be some more on how Husk used to be an overlord in Hell and was possibly softer in terms of sensuality and intimacy when it came to expressing his pansexuality before his soul was sold to the radio demon due to his gambling addiction in the second season of Hazbin Hotel [6] [48] [49] [108] [109]. One-hundred-and-three years ago, Mrs. May looked elegant in her coat and hat and her husband’s lack of dialogue makes his character more mysterious, but will he speak eventually before his demise [51] [102] [103]?

As one of my favourite Lackadaisy characters besides Rocky [100] [101], Mitzi May is the auntie figure to Ivy in “Ingenue”. Bless her heart. [51]

As for Atlas, there is something about his lack of dialogue that adds a little mystery to his character if you ask me [51] [54]. [51]

As relieved as I am that I no longer must endure how fear-inducing and unimaginative the seventh series of Waterloo Road was to me [8] [96], I feel blessed to witness a little backstory in the first mini-episode of the first season of Lackadaisy, despite how there is not much of a plot [51]. It can be argued that there is not much of one because it is a short, but there have been shorts in other animated series that are shorter and consist of a lot more climatic plot elements, such as the mini-episodes of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends [29] [30] [31]. On a lighter note, the pacing of the short that is classified as a prequel is quite dandy with a big focus on the beginning of Ivy’s friendship with Viktor and its overall simplicity [51]. The joke regarding Mordecai apparently roller skating clumsily is a sign of the series maintaining a little light-heartedness aside from aspects of gun violence, thus honouring the pilot’s success. The characters’ personal expansions in 1921, the year “Ingenue” is set in have not been as effective as Millie and Sallie May’s in “Hell Belle’s”, the first Helluva Short set in the present day [51] [73] [98] [99], but consistency when it comes to basing a webseries on a series of webcomics despite a few issues being considered non-canon is always appreciated [59] [60] [61] [63] [64].

As hopeful as I am for Vaggie and Husk to gain more development in the second season of Hazbin Hotel [80] [108] [109], I am hopeful for the rest of the first season of Lackadaisy to consist of passable writing [102] [103]. [51]

As revealed in the trailer [52], the animation is once again outstanding when it comes to bringing the essence of the comics to life [51]. I could not get over how pretty the designs of the trailer’s title cards were [52]. A notable difference is that there have been some minor changes (aside from Ivy being aged down to a child) in terms of character design to make the progress of maintaining the liveliness of the characters’ movements a little more animation-friendly [10], which seems to have applied to the redesigns of Charlie Morningstar and her fellow cast members within a ToonCity upgrade in the first season of Hazbin Hotel [66] [81] [82]. You can still faintly notice some guidelines during some characters’ movements, but all the hard work has once again paid off [13]. The same applies to the richly detailed backgrounds coated in life-like colour palettes, most notably the interior of the garage and the shading and lighting effects [51] [52]. The photograph shown in the title sequence and taken by Mitzi at the end just reeks of the classiness of the art style of the webcomics [57] [100] [101]. Once again, the excellence of the animation in Lackadaisy is comparable to Green Eggs and Ham on Netflix, which sadly did not get renewed for a third season, yet it would have deserved it for possibly introducing Sam-I-Am’s father and so on in my eyes [110] [111].

As previously mentioned, the designs of cars are highly accurate to how they looked in the 1920s [51] [100] [101]. Imagine if there was a stylish pink equivalent of this vehicle in Barbie Land [7]! As for the characters, their movements are silky smooth and their eyes are quite remarkable, especially adding cuteness to Little Ivy [51], which is why I consider the animation as amazing as the animation in the two seasons of Green Eggs and Ham [110] [111]. [51]

The amount of detail put into other objects, such as the previous car door that was replaced with a new door by Viktor is undeniable [51]. You can tell what an artist is into and what their strengths are by how they express their artistic merits, but it would be wise to not judge them as a person entirely solely based on their art [45]. Nonetheless, please do not associate me with certain areas on DeviantArt [28] [33]. [51]

The auditory elements are worth acknowledging as well. There is quite a wide range of realistic sound effects, from the soles of characters’ shoes clanking against the ground to the crank of Viktor tightening bolts with his wrench [51]. Does that ring a bell, Ratchet [43]? And do not forget the sounds of quite a busy city as background noise and how Ruby’s voice can be faintly heard from a distance during his daughter’s conversations in the garage to further increase realism [51]. How Mordecai makes an angry cat’s hiss when provoked is about as quirkily convincing as Loona from Helluva Boss growling, considering that she is a hellhound [71] [72]. Kudos to the voice actors for their performances, from Edward Bosco as Ruby, who is also the voice of Striker in the second season of Helluva Boss to Jason Marnocha as Viktor who puts on a pretty convincing and fitting accent for him [51] [56] [68] [72]. The masterful auditory elements further increase the post-pilot credibility, which will also apply to the episode where Rocky’s backstory on how he met Mr. and Mrs. May will be explored [51] [54] [102] [103]. Accompanying the voice acting and sound effects in terms of being non-diegetic is a melodramatic chime that evaluates the early 1920s atmosphere for Lackadaisy lovers [51]. The sound designers deserve as much praise as the animators and voice actors do [102] [103].

Wow! Thanks for the aggressive car door slam, Viktor! Way to unnerve a new friend who will not rat on you for a quarter! [51]

For over one hundred years, we have admired and cherished the impact of cartoons [17]. The first season of Lackadaisy is off to quite a humbling start if you ask me [51]. Moreover, “Ingenue” has left an impact that is nearly as effective as “Hell’s Belles”, the first episode of Helluva Shorts [73] [104] [105]. As our hazbeans are hyped for more of the second season of Helluva Boss throughout the rest of the year [70], our Lackadaisy lovers are sure to keep their eyes peeled, their ears open and their hopes up for more mini-episodes and a delightful first season based on the webcomics by Tracy J. Butler [54] [102] [103]. And of course, there is plenty of gritty live-action aside from acclaimed animation as the second season of Squid Game is likely to commence this December and I believe it will be about as compellingly written as the first one [20] [83]. Despite a few similarities the premise of Lackadaisy shares with Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, I would not consider Butler’s feline-populated interpretation of the roaring ‘20s a “VivziePop clone” due to their striking differences and rhetoric fact that the Lackadaisy webcomics began in the second half of the 2000s [27] [100] [101] [102] [103]. Moreover, I shall look forward to the first season, including the other two mini-episodes of an animated series based on the award-winning webcomics [23] [44] [102] [103]. No worries if you end up preferring the comics over the show though [57].

What could be next? Some Youtooz figures of Rocky, Ivy and Freckle [53] [113] [114]? In the meantime, more of the Blitzster’s personal depth shall seep through his antiheroism in the rest of the second season of Helluva Boss [70], quite like how his brother from another mother will keep on progressing in his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is no other than Deadpool & Wolverine [64] [84] [85] [86]. [113]

As Lackadaisy lovers reflect on the impact of the first mini-episode that has begun the first season quite interestingly, our simmers will be sure to make their moves in a new expansion pack for The Sims 4 [104] [105]. Surely, some simmers who also consider themselves Lackadaisy lovers have named some new cats for their sims after Lackadaisy characters by now [26]. I would be delighted to have a cat of my own someday after all I have been through. Despite how I have considered being autistic to be like being in prison for many reasons [1] [19] [21], I will continue to express my passion for writing [112]. I will be off to summon Stolas tonight in honour of the hype for “Full Moon”, the shortly upcoming eighth episode of the second season of Helluva Boss [36] [65] [88] [90] [91]. [51]
