Animation by @saraecardona, boards by @squiderdoodle, background layout by @catherineroars & paint by @Yael_Gilbert & @geordenwhitman!
To kick off April, Sesamoid's lead singer has gone ahead and covered a super emotional song that really connects with him.
From Griff: hey again computer people this is griff i decided to sing a song i really like about the teeth in my mouth for you okay thanks hope you like it goodbye - 馃
Sesamoid have been shredding their hearts out to make their next original song "Creature Feature" the BEST it can be! If you're on Twitter, be sure to follow their official account @SesamoidBand, so you won't miss out on any posts leading up to its release! 馃幐

and you're so amazing to draw this comic for such a long time!!like your art and I also want to know what support you gone so far,YOU'RE LEGEND
Thank you - that's exceedingly kind!
Virgil looks like he's trying to figure out which direction he's facing here. But once he sorts that out, yes, he'll be back in animated form!
Hi, magnificent Tracy! Congrats on "Stratagem"! Speaking of which: Mordecai lists off some chess strategies. I tried to google these strategies, but found information about only a few of them. Can you please share some info/links on the sources where it's possible to read about these chess strategies if they're real ones? Thank you in advance!
Thanks very much! All credit to the crew and the VAs who conjured it into existence!
We went down quite the rabbit hole researching chess strategy and historic chess games for this, trying to keep it relatively aligned with the time period. At one point we even reached out to a St. Louis-based chess master looking for advice. (I guess the subject header of our attempted email correspondence - "Sir, we need your help for our angry cat cartoon" - was a non-starter for him, though.)
In the end, we compromised on something in-between historicity and proclivity for silly names. Some of the strategies Mordecai rattled off are real things - Hammerschlag, for instance. Some are odes to real things. Dave C. stumbled on the Fried Fox, which is a real sort of attack in chess, and came up with Poached Penguin. Some are allusions to grandmasters of the past, like Savielly Tartakower, who wrote books on playing chess, and was generally a big deal in the chess world in the 1920s. Fable wanted to make sure we fit the very excellent word zugzwang in there somewhere. How could I resist? And there are a couple we just fully made up.
They don't have canon heights, but here's the height chart! After the pilot I want to mess with how tall everyone is in relation to each other tho so this may not stay canon.
Guess the drunken cat is out of the bag. Alongside being a writer for Lackadaisy, I'm psyched to announce that I'll also be voicing Virgil! @lackadaisycats
My first writing contribution to Lackadaisy! Hope you all enjoyed this short, we're cooking up a ton more booze cats content for you!
