After making the first 2 episodes I was starting to see some of the flaws in my animation models. So when I created new models for Kim Jong Un and his hat I used a much higher resolution. After putting episode 3 together the difference was quite clear. So this is the last episode to use my original models for our crazy trio. The comparison on the right shows pretty clearly how much better the new models look than the originals. This is just a part of the growing pains I went through, as this was the first time I ever made a cartoon. Over the years I have learned from the many mistakes I have made and I hope it shows in the quality of the show as it stands today.  Maybe one day I will pull a George Lucas and go back and fix my mistakes, but I think I’m too lazy for that.

 

Episode 3 was a fun one to create, using the the Diet Coke button to build tension over the possibility to start WWIII by mixing up the Diet Coke button with the Nukes button. But the soundbites I found from The Donald discussing the Diet Coke button in an interview were too good to waste on just one single bit. So I also used it to create a short Diet Coke ad made with the updated character models.

American Idol was having auditions around this time, so I thought The Hat and The Hair should audition.

 

Lastly, the Episode is named Land of Confusion because all the worrying about Trump launching nukes reminded me of the Genesis video where the puppet Reagan is doing similar.
