Someone got fooled by Cuphead's aesthetic and thought it was genuinely from the 40s? That speaks well of how awesome Cuphead is.

Yeah Cuphead is very inspired by Flechier and they do a great job at parodying it while making their own thing.

The Netflix show certainly isn't animated like a 40's cartoon, I thought it was more in line with the Animaniacs revival.

This more like 1940s aesthetics with mid 1990s animation style. I mean, I'm getting Ren and Stimpy vibes here.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

I've only seen the clip posted here, so I can't really comment no whether the cartoon itself is funny.
Is the look generic? Umm, it's not more of that Cal Arts style that seemingly literally every cartoon today is like, so no, it's not generic.

The Cuphead show is great. It's one of the few cartoons my kids like that I enjoy watching with them. Any of the Devil episodes are hilarious.

Oh and the episode with the Ice cream man.

I hope it gets another season.

I was pretty disappointed when the show ended up looking worse than the game, but it makes sense I guess.

I like the game too but I couldn't get into the show. I think I dropped it like after 3 episodes. I just didn't think it was that funny.
