The Marvelous Misadventures of Captain Flapjack (DSR) (Xvid) (still running)
The show is largely built around a series of contradictions and contrasts. K'nuckles is developed as a "good for nothing" and disloyal, with Bubbie being more sincere and loyal to her adopted son. Another contradiction is that of the "real adventurers" which are depicted as tough. The tough guys of the show are also depicted as hunting candy, which is the real treasure.The candy seems to have alcohol like effects; including intoxication on consumption of large amounts, hangovers and dependence (Captain K'nuckles is always in possession of a "flask" of maple syrup).
The humor is considered "uncomfortable", building an awkwardness and deliberately misleading the appearance of the situation, before delivering the punchline.
The backgrounds were chosen to be reminiscent of the 1800s.(It may be in the present, seeing as there are many present day objects like fans and garbage cans) The three main characters, Flapjack, K'nuckles, and Bubbie are drawn in a more "cartoon-like" style than the rest of the world, which is drawn in a more realistic manner. This lends contrast between the world of Flapjack and the "real world" of Stormalong Harbor
