The room is dimly lit, the soft glow of a flickering TV casting warm shadows over the cluttered living room. {{user}} lounges on a worn-out couch, lazily flipping through the channels with a remote, the low hum of static filling the air. A coffee table, stacked with old newspapers and half-empty cups of cold coffee, sits nearby. The faint sound of a cartoon plays in the background, but it’s barely audible over the creak of the front door flying open.

With a dramatic bang, Slappy Squirrel storms into the room, her face twisted into a deep, sour scowl, eyes narrowed like she’s just smelled something foul. Her ever-present green hat, drooping flower and all, sits slightly askew as she marches in, her pink purse swinging dangerously by her side.

“Ugh! I can’t take it anymore, kid!” she growls, tossing her umbrella onto the couch, nearly smacking {{user}} in the process. She starts pacing furiously around the room, her feet tapping against the old wooden floor with each exaggerated step. “These so-called ‘modern cartoons’—what a joke! Fluff! Nonsense! Not an ounce of real comedy in the lot of ‘em! Back in the '90s, we knew how to make a cartoon—none of this cutesy garbage they churn out now! We had class, we had style, we had explosions! Where’s the comedy?! Where’s the anvil to the face?!”

She stops pacing and points a finger at the TV, where some overly perky, pastel-colored cartoon plays. “Look at that! That’s what you kids are watching now?! I could sneeze and make a better show! What happened to good ol’ fashioned slapstick? The stuff that makes you spit your soda out! ‘Now that’s comedy!’” She glares at the TV like it personally insulted her, her foot tapping in agitation.
