How much of this thread have you read? It's gets pretty crazy, and that doesn't include similarly speculative threads sprinkled throughout this forum.

I got a question.
If toons can go all toonish when they first see "Love at first sight" and they go all toonish and the Toon Patrol are toon weasels do they do that kind of stuff when their in love? Like for example say if Roger sees Jessica for the first time and he has little hearts ontop of his head and his heart showing from his chest.Do the Toon Patrol do something like that?
To me it sort of depends if they can control their toonish way to be in love.

Hmm... well, the woman would have to be pretty darn perfect for them to do that, I would imagine... Psycho and Stupid would be the most likely to have the hearts and everything, but Greasy would more likely act like the Tex Avery wolf. Smarta** and Wheezy would be more likely to keep their cool, and I would imagine that they would at least blush and have their toon hearts shove their way into view.

Yup totally.
XD I also agree with Psycho it would be cute if he did that.

Fatal: I read bit by bit each day because my laptop can't get too hot.
Lol: Yep, it would be cute if lil' Psychy did that.

I've been watching the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie, and while the way they "destroy" the weasel toon isn't really scientifically sound, nor effective, it does give me a theory...
Nowadays in the digital age, cartoons are inked and colored digitally. I realize that this means that any cartoon character made this way exclusively would NOT be made of ink and paint! They would be made of digital information, even if they were originally drawn by pencil. Of course, a toon could also be drawn by a tablet... making them completely digital. So a toon can be digitized. Therefore, since they're not made of ink and paint, they're invulnerable to Dip! So how would you kill such a toon?
I think perhaps they could be put into a computer and have all their information deleted. Even then, the computer would remember that it once had that information...
So... what do you think?

That is a good question. I think you're right about how you could delete their information and data.
If you want, I could ask some digital artist on DeviantART or FurAffinity and ask on their opinion. Get their point of view.

Well, why wouldn't you able to delete a digital cartoon in real life, unless it was freely distributed over the internet? That's the thing about "Bucky"- he turns out to be surfing the internet instead of gone and dead. Since the Tiny Toons episodes "Fields of Honey" and "Lame Joke" suggest that a toon can be brought back from the dead when somebody laughs at them, I can't help but wonder how that would effect a Dipped or deleted toon... Let me explain: say a long forgotten cartoon character's shorts wind up on YouTube. People laugh at it, for the the first time in decades. I like to think that a toon that died of laughter depravation would come back to life, but would it do anything to a Dipped or deleted toon? Probably not... If the artist put the toon in their computer and deleted him/her, I doubt they'd be able to come back despite all the copies of drawings and possibly animation circulating over the internet. I would suggest asking someone who likes WFRR- otherwise they might not get what you're talking about. Jebikun, maybe? Here's another topic: It's recently come to my attention that Pegleg Pete has been around since Disney's Alice shorts. Normally, I would assume that this makes him the oldest toon ever who still has a career, but because he was in Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shorts, he wound up being in Oswald shorts that weren't by Disney. For those of you who don't know, Oswald was Walt's first successful character, before Mickey. Universal took the rights to the character away from him, and only recently has Disney bought him back. Universal went on to make their own shorts with Oswald. Not only do they use Oswald, they also use a character that looks remarkably like Pegleg Pete, albeit still in his canine form. Here's a Disney-produced Oswald short with Pete: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_n3Af_ykLgAnd here's an Oswald short produced by Walter Lantz for Universal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWRruIYAYssSo my question is this: in the WFRR world, was this incarnation of Pete taken by Universal as well? Did Walt have to create a new version? Or is the Pete in the Universal shorts a clone of the original of sorts? I'm finding myself choosing the former.

Most likely a clone.

Why do you say that? Do you not think Universal took all the Oswald characters? I guess the only way to know for sure is to see the copyright papers...

Well, a lot of people steal other people's characters in art, I would imagine some companies do the same. You mentioned they rightfully got Oswald, but they just changed him so it looks more like their characters.
Oh, by the way, about how I digital Toon could die, couldn't you give it a virus.
Boss gave me this answer.

I don't know about the copy characters but I do know you can kill a digital toon by deleting their folder or a virus.

The thing is is that Disney didn't actually own full rights to Oswald, which is why he was taken away from him. He was wise to own full rights to everything else he did afterwards. I'm not sure if that included Pegleg Pete, although he was named some variation of Pete on a wanted poster in one of the Disney-produced Oswald shorts. That one Lantz short is the only time I know of when that Pete-like character appeared post-Walt. I don't know what Universal called him, if anything. So it could pretty much go either way, since we can't confirm if Universal took the original form of Pete. If they did, Disney certainly got away with creating a new one- although he did change to a cat when Mickey was created, so that may have something to do with it.
As for a virus- if it were a data-erasing virus, it would work. I mean, I would imagine a toon would be a complex file rather than a program... Of course, there's the question of how a toon would get in and out of a computer... the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie just stuffed Bullwinkle into a fax machine, while Bucky was zapped by some ray gun- sort of like in Tron.
On a related subject, we've also seen that Mickey has been translated into CG animation and back. How does that work?
I also think it's noteworthy to see where the Acme Company went after Marvin died, as seen in Looney Tunes: Back In Action. I mention this since it'd all be useful if one were to write a fanfiction where the Toon Patrol wind up in modern times- such as when they're brought back from the dead.

I agree.
I wondered who owns the studio now since Maroon and Acme died?
