The Cartoonist

**The Cartoonist,** is a species of creature in the Flipped World in Venge their first appearance is when they Jumpscare the Player and begin a chase sequence. They're a creature who debuted in Act 1 (1.0), of Venge as the First hostile Boss.

## Appearance

The Cartoonist is definitely a creature of some sort. Its an Aquatic like creature, with Gills on both sides of its head, two Devilish horns, its Mouth is big (better to scream at you), with Sharp teeth inside. Its Neck is long which blends into its Torso, and it has Two arm/leg like things.

## Description

The Cartoonists in game description reads as follows:

**"**The Cartoonist has an eagle eye for movement. They can see you from a mile away, however, their Brain isn't sharp. In fact its a goopy blob. They are very protective of their young, some say that it was their job, before a tragic accident occurred. They stick together in packs, but they don't attack all at once.

Fun Fact: This was the newest model made.**"**

## Act 1

Once the Player looks at the Stickies notes and turns behind themselves, they will see a hallway with the Red Source pointing towards it, once the Player walks down said hallway, they will be met with a Jumpscare from the Cartoonist. The Cartoonist doesn't actually chase the Player, but they must run through a hall, and to the bottom of a Cave.

After the Player goes through the gate and walls down the hallway far enough, a cutscene will play, with the Cartoonist staring to pursue the Player. Depending on how well the Player did on the first "chase". The Cartoonists speed and aggressiveness, will vary.

Once the Player makes it to the end of the Hallway, and enters the room the doorway will close and the Cartoonist will slowly slide away. After this happens the room will start to change and Two new levers will appear. At first it doesn't matter which you flick. After the Lever has been flicked, the Door will open revealing the Sticky Notes, telling the Player to go to the top

Once the Player has reached the Top the Player must collect 6 Items and drop them into the Box which will open the Door. The Items the Player can collect are:

- Gear

- Key

- Crank

- Power Source

- Screw

- Wrench

After the Player has opened the Door and dropped there will be a final chase between the Player and Cartoonist. Kind of like the Second the chase the Player gets chased down a hallway, except this time the Player will kill the Cartoonist.

### Spare Cartoonist

According to Ekrcoaster's Third Developer Commentary, there is a way to spare the Cartoonist. As of now, the method has been solved. To do this you must beat the game. Then on another playthrough you must flick the lever opposite of your first save. You will know it has worked when door light glows blue, instead of Red. Then you must traverse your way to the top where the hatch will already be opened. And walk through where her final chase would've been and go through to the next area.

## Cut content

I bet some of you didn't know there was an Old-Model for the Cartoonist. This version of the Model can be found in Game during her introduction if the Player has their Graphics at the lowest. This version of the Model can also be found in an early Trailer for the game. In 2.0 we'll probably never see this Model again so appreciate it while we still have it!

### Cartoonist Maze

According to Ekrcoaster in his Third Developer Commentary,

*"The Cartoonist chase scene was originally a maze it was a massive maze ... and it was like that for years, years while I made the game and it was fine and there's betas that exist of the maze but it just was boring, you know it's maze a, it's not a very fun chase sequence so then I came up with the idea for this new Cartoonist boss battle literally a* month before the game came out and that's why it's like so not polished, was because I didn't have time for it and also I didn't think anyone would care so I didn't polish it too much."

### Baby Cartoonists

If the Player killed the Cartoonist, then pressed up against the back wall of the Break Room, the Player can hear muffled crying of the Cartoonists children.

According to Ekrcoaster:

***"**This break room here has a lot of history believe it or not, so originally you turned the corner and this you couldn't walk in here and originally it was gonna be just this it was like this material right here but covering the entire wall and there was two baby cartoonists who I think are actually still in the game right there, there they are and they are and they're crying they're not animated anymore you can hear them and they're like holding hands and stuff.**"***
