I'm looking for a webcomic that was kind of like Who Framed Roger Rabbit but not exactly so. I've forgotten the title of it, so finding it is almost impossible without it.
Here's what I remember. It follows a group of humans and toons who work at a "cartoon" studio. In this web comic's universe, cartoons aren't animated by being drawn because cartoon toon characters somehow exist naturally, enough so that they can actually breed with humans (in fact, one of the main characters is a cartoon-human hybrid, giving her a unique appearance). Instead, "cartoons" are filmed with only cartoon characters with special sets.
One of the reoccurring themes of the webcomic was how standards and practices affect the industry. This is a very old webcomic, taking place around 2005 to 2010. As such, homosexuality wasn't as widely accepted at this time as it is today. So another element was that one of the main characters had to keep her lesbian relationship a secret in order to maintain her child-friendly image. (I know, this sounds ridiculous nowadays, but we're talking about a different time).
Here are the characters I remember in the comic.
There's this very old cartoon character who was big in the early 30's or something to that effect. He was a monkey and after earning a lot of money as a star, eventually created his own studio, which has been in business in one form or another. This is the studio that the webcomic takes place in.
The old cartoon character married a cartoon cat that was about ten or twenty years younger than him (I forgot the specific ages, but the point is there's an age difference). They had two kids, one of them was the closeted lesbian I mentioned earlier, the other was a monkey that looked more like his father than his sister did. He's under a lot of pressure to work on a reboot of the cartoons that his father was in. He's not happy about this but feels like he can't let his father or the studio down.
There was also the human-cartoon hybrid I mention earlier. The best way I can describe her is a very thick, curvy short stack. This means she isn't "kid-friendly" enough for modern cartoons, so she can only work in the background, like set design and stuff.
There were a few other characters but they aren't as important to the plot.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
