From a post on John Kricfalusi’s excellent blog entitled “Bags O’ Fun VS Anguished Souls in Torment”:


“Ever notice how modern cartoon characters look like every pose and expression involves a lot of pain and strain? It’s like there are a hundred invisible demons yanking this guy’s eyebrows with all their might, yet they still are barely moving. Is it hard to animate a smile today? Even the simplest expression has become a petrified detestable mask of agony.”
