Throwback the Duck Ep. 1A

This is the first file (Part A) of Throwback the Duck Episode 1 on NewGrounds.com.

Thank you all for your enthusiastic support of the Throwback the Duck animated adventure series. The feedback for Episode 0 A 'Back Story was very strong and encouraging. We are deeply grateful for that.

Throwback the Duck Episode 1 picks up exactly where Episode 0 left off. As a newly hired journalist for NintendoNow, Throwback stumbles onto a dream job of classic gaming journalism. Expect an intimate look into the whimsical world that is the mind of Throwback the Duck. Despite his cheesy lines and disjointed interaction with those around him, Throwback's oddball charm has a way of dazzling many of the friends he encounters...except for a cynical little office helper.

Then there's the all important gaming factor. A familiar classic gaming face makes a cameo in this episode. I'm curious to know how many of you recognize or remember this character. His story foreshadows many of the themes explored in the cartoon series.

Production notes: Due to flash file size constraints, we were forced to split Episode 1 into two files. Hence we have Part A and B of Episode 1. Please watch the show in that order to fully enjoy it.

Also, you'll notice a subtle transition in art styles during the episode. Arthur uses a style know as "straight vs. curve" near the end. This is an evolving work, folks.

And with that said, please enjoy the show. Again, we look forward to your continued support of the series. Four more exciting episodes await you before Season 1 draws to an end.

This is a very cute little cartoon. I really do associate with Throwback. I especially love how realistic this is. Well, as realistic as a cartoon featuring a talking duck can be. I don't want to be reminded of Howard The Duck. Then again, he has gotten better with his recent cameos.

It's the dog from "Bones"! It looks more like chulaid animation. Did you know Bubsy Bobcat is making a new game? Might be a sequel gap record. Well, not as long as "Duke Nukem Forever".

Quack!

if i wasn't ADD, i probably would've watched the rest of these...

WAAAAAHT!!!

A throwback duck that wears pants!!! BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!

....well...at least it looks like he's gonna have a human girlfriend....an the attitude's spot on! soooo....8/10 5/5.
