Gut punch! 🤜 💥

In my webcomic, the tallest character is the Inktonium Monster …

… and the shortest characters are Katrina and Jonah.

You can really see the size difference in this image! ⬇️

Tooniverse Music Leitmotifs! 🎶🎵

If my comic was an actual cartoon, the entire soundtrack would be composed on a Moog Synthesizer.

I’ve always loved Jean-Jacques Perrey’s work. It’s so weird and toony! Most of the Tooniverse’s music leitmotifs are inspired by his work.

Here is what would play for a specific character or situation…

🎼 Character Leitmotifs:

🖤 Ijinks H. Iwerx: Hectic Joker - Jean-Jacques Perrey & David Chazam

Her theme music would sound just as weird and awkward as she looks! Ijinks is a troublemaker who causes problems on purpose to mess with her toony creations!

❌⭕️ Jaycee Pawman: Kittens on the Moon - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

Jaycee is childish, playful, skittish, and a little strange. Her imagination runs wild and she finds creative solutions to problems, or jumps to crazy conclusions.

🇨🇦 Cat Canada: Agent 29’s Escape - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

Her leitmotif has a vintage superhero vibe to it. Perfect for springing into action!

👻 Wayne Gates: Funnygated - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Cosmic Pocket

Ghosts are often associated with the Theremin instrument, and Wayne is no exception. Wayne’s leitmotif is a synthesized Theremin-based melody that plays whenever he’s doing something awkward and nerdy or over-explaining something.

⭕️❌ Ella Pawman: Sentimental Trip - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Ella’s leitmotif would be something nostalgic and happy, but also sad and wistful. It would showcase her long life of accomplishments and struggles.

🐌 Dr. Hans Sans Panzer: Music of the Planets - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Dr. Hans Sans Panzer is a very intelligent, unhinged, revenge-driven mad scientist. He’s also a chronic insomniac and isolated in a underwater laboratory. Dr. HSP discovered the Tooniverse’s secrets through reality-defying physics and invented teleportation. A leitmotif like the one above showcases how his maniacal mind works!

🐝 Beeball: Waltzing the Weasel - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Beeball is a very dumb character, so he gets a very dumb “Pop Goes The Weasel” leitmotif! I can imagine a montage of him stupidly messing everything up, or explaining his flawed logic to someone while the above music plays.

🌲 Mayor River Moon Willows (and 🌻 Sierra): Edith Von Aachenburg - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

It’s the perfect theme for being stuck with an airheaded hippie in a bureaucratic “city hall” environment!

💰 Hugh Forric: Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy

Hugh is associated with the classic piano piece “Clair De Lune”. His leitmotif would be a remix of various parts of the song to fit a situation. I can imagine this perfect, delicate song starting to hit sour notes whenever his ego is challenged.

💖 Diana Diamondhart: Sobre las Olas (“Over the Waves”) - Juventino Rosas

She’s associated with classical music, much like her ex-husband Hugh. This piece in particular is associated with both a delicate waltz, and a violent ocean surge. This showcases Diana’s two-faced personality.

🦌 John R. Deergutt: Electronic Can Can - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Gershon Kingsley

Here’s the leitmotif for Canvasville’s news anchor John R. Deergutt! Imagine a theme like this playing while shenanigans happen during a live broadcast!

🕵🏿 Tips Fedora: The Mysterious Mr. Him - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

You can’t get more mysterious than being a literal shadow with eyes in a detective outfit! A theme like this would play whenever Tips is sleuthing or revealing confidential information to others.

🎼 Situational Leitmotifs:

😎 Cool montage: The Unidentified Flying Object (Remix) - Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley

🫢 Gossip, misinformation, “game of telephone”, etc.: Gossipo Perpetuo - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Famous news anchor John R. Deergutt has a pig named April. Does that count?

tag the oc that is named after a month or day of the week (like April or Tuesday)

[ijinks]

Canvasville has a significant weed/stoner culture due to the mayor welcoming recreational use.

Everyone knows you gotta go down to Bud’s “Gardening” Shack!

… unless there’s a giant ink blob monster.
