Augenblick Orders Another Round of Drunky
Back in 2001, the internet was burning out and online entertainment was too. It was a sobering experience, but Aaron Augenblick decided to booze it up instead. He created Drunky, a Flash-animated film that rose above the clunky cartoons that the software had become synonymous for. It had style, smooth animation and a very memorable character. The original short, titled In Through the Out Door, was screened at Annecy and Slamdance, and became a signature piece in the Augenblick Studios library. Since then, Aaron’s studio has worked on variety of excellent projects, mostly aimed at the grown-up audience, including Golden Age, Superjail and a personal favorite: Wonder Showzen.
Now that web entertainment is back in full force, Drunky returns. Augenblick has resurrected Drunky for a new 11-minute pilot titled Fish House Punch. You’ll meet one of the most “colorful” grandmothers ever to walk into a bar, and to describe the overall tone of the piece I’ll borrow a phrase from the carnival boss - you’ll be “revolted in amazement.” Click below to watch an excerpt at the Augenblick website, which has been relaunched to include high-quality versions of the entire studio library.

That was the best thing I have ever looked at, animated or otherwise.

“How gawd-damn wonderful!”
The backgrounds were excellent. And the animation was so fluid. I can’t wait for more!

hey mate, nice little cartoon, especially liked the style, which you seem to have conquered. but i felt that the movment was a bit slow, like you got some nice animated comedy in there and i laughed lol but the bits inbetween the gags feel somwhat slow, for what ur making it out to be.. if that makes sence. but sure u’ll conquer that soon enough =D nice going non the less

I’ll echo the slow comment, though considering how insanely quick Superjail is I’d assume that was deliberate.
Very nice, very lush.
