Completely Cursed Cartoon Fusions That are Pure Nostalgia-Fueled Nightmares

Have you ever tried to draw a cartoon from memory? Back when I was a waitress at a restaurant with very, very few customers, I spent a lot of my time doodling on receipt paper with my coworkers. We would often challenge each other to draw characters from our favorite childhood shows without any reference; whoever got closest would be crowned winner of that round. Sometimes the end result of a sketch would be a strange amalgamation of cartoon characters because our brains would try to fill in missing information with other available input. For example, my drawing of Sylvester the Cat looked a little more like Tigger than expected.

Cartoonist @dinotomic's mashup illustrations were not created out of mistaken memory. They were deliberately synthesized to evoke maximum confusion. In the drawings below, he takes totally unrelated iconic cartoons and blends them together to form the Frankenstein abominations of your nightmares. If you ever wondered what the lovechild between Aladdin's Genie and Finding Nemo's Dory would look like, search no further!

What is the process here? Did he really think to himself, “I wonder what Samurai Jack would look like combined with GIR?” Or is there some sort of randomized wheel that helps him decide?

Show the results to your friends and try to convince them that they're the original design…
