Asael Polanco Cartoon Theatre

**Boris the Duck and Company** was an upcoming anthology series i'm currently doing. Originally pitched as **The Super Polanco/Iox Cartoon SuperCut** (later **Showcase** until the dispute happened, and **Asael Polanco Cartoon Theatre** post-dispute), it mainly features cartoons from me, divided into 6 segments, each featuring an exploit of an interesting cast of characters. Comictoon Productions (Marshall Bourne) will serve as co-developer, replacing Iox.

## Segments

*Also see List of Boris the Duck and Company Episodes for a complete listing of the shorts for each segment.*

### Boris the Duck

Follows the exploits of the purple duck himself. He's a purple duck ready for adventure, but the one thing he still cannot stand is mice. The Chooha family especially. Sometimes, he mostly outwit them in a battle of wits. Other times, he outwits other characters. Some cartoons will take a break from this format and instead focus on other aspects of Boris' family tree, especially his 4 sons.

### Fiddlesticks

Fiddlesticks follows the misadventures of a notorious predator on the loose in the city out of house and home, and the police are hot on his trails. He hyperfixates on a band called the Flash Kids-Get-Klubbed Band in a creepy manner (for him, he finds Flash's tight jeans "attractive") and constantly asks its two female members to go on dates with him. Every time he does this he gets called off by authorities and sent to jail.

### Cancelled Segments

Here's a list of planned segments from the show under the title *The Super Polanco/Iox Cartoon Showcase*. This was back when the show was originally going to be a co-production between me and Iox, one of them is cancelled entirely due to loads of reasons, while the other three will work better off as their own cartoon shows.

#### Brunswick

Created by Zach Jennings, *Brunswick* was a cancelled segment involving the misadventures of the titular Brunswick. The segments would've been mute and only the actions will play a part on the stories. Only three shorts were made before getting the boot. A planned WEBTOON featuring him would've been made, entitled *Brunswick Begins*, but that too was also cancelled after the usage of the character was fortified.

##### Withdrawl from the Show

Probably the most infamous of the cancelled segments from my show. Back when my show was supposed to be a co-production between me and Iox (and SCG Studios if he was added), Zach Jennings' Brunswick character was among the planned segments from my show. But the dispute between me and Iox forced me to fortify the usage of the character. He was later replaced with Fiddlesticks the kakapo bird, who shares a similar mannerism to Brunswick but also gives him an actual personality as a creepy and risque criminal (because of this, the best description I had for him is that he's going to be the "anti-Brunswick" of sorts), and unlike Brunswick, Fiddlesticks is verbal and is based on me as a pre-teen back when I discovered furries in 2015.

##### Polanco vs. Iox: *Pool Fool* Plagiarism Dispute

Not long after the dispute between me and Iox, the short *Pool Fool* (which was supposed to be a Vanillo-exclusive short, by the way) was unofficially released on Iox in September 2023. This version slightly changed the credits to add mentions of Kris Valdespino (the new developer for the upcoming separate *Brunswick* shorts on Iox) and those who associated with Iox and removes the ending screen completely and goes straight into the Iox subscription screen. The thing is, although I was credited in the re-edit, I was never asked to have the short uploaded on Iox, which is very ironic as Iox doesn't accept stolen content as long if I ask permission of the original creators/holders. Here, they did the complete opposite. This led me to (successfully) strike the release down due to it being originally intended for my show (Iox treats the *Brunswick* cartoons planned for my show separate from it) but was later ask to remove the strike, and was not welcome back to Iox ever since. This is also one of the reasons why Marshall Bourne, a partner of mine, will be selected to become the co-developer of the show, with Iox and Brunswick's creator, Zach Jennings, being credited on the credits as a "special thanks" due to their former involvement of the show.

#### Paddy the Pelican and Co.

This is an umbrella title was supposed to be a revival of Sam Singer's characters to the modern day, with each short featuring a different character of his. I even got a WEBTOON still in the works *(see Welcome to Bay City for further details)*. I don't know why I am silent on this, but something about this works better as a separate series. Paddy the Pelican would've been the primary segment at the beginning and final episode compilations, with each episode compilation showcasing a short featuring a different character from one of Sam Singer's cartoons. It also helps since the characters are in the public domain.

#### Dick and Larry's Rainbow Parade

Like with *Paddy the Pelican and Co.*, this was another umbrella title for an anthology segment that revives the Van Beuren characters (with exceptions) to the modern day due to the characters' public domain status. And like with *Paddy and Co*., this will work better as a separate series rather than being part of one, as it focuses on a different character in each episode compilation, with *Dick and Larry* being the first and final segment. Unlike the former, I don't have any WEBTOON planned for now.

#### Holly Spirit

This segment is about an energetic girl who encounters on random situations and how to deal with them. It would be cool if I included her in the main series, but like the former two, I think this would work better as a series on its own.
