Weekend Pussy Hunt

Weekend Pussy Hunt is an animated web series in film noir style, created by John Kricfalusi, starring Dirty Dog and Cigarettes the Cat.
The series was initially developed for MSN, which billed it as "the world's first interactive web-based cartoon" and slated it for release in June 1997, but MSN stopped the production before the cartoon was finished. In 2000 the series began airing on Icebox.com, after the release of Spümcø's own web-based Flash cartoon, The Goddamn [George Liquor Program].
The first scene was animated prior to Flash's acquisition by Macromedia, when the software was still called FutureSplash Animator.

History

The animation is primarily by Matt Danner, with storyboards by Jim Smith.
The cartoon features Dirty Dog, Cigarettes the Cat, Brother Dog, Leg Hussy, Bugs Pussy, and Girlfriend. It contains humor intended for adults, such as toilet humor, dick jokes, sexual comedy and ribaldry.
There are interactive segments in the cartoon, which allow the viewer to click parts of the image for an animated result. Most of the episodes begin with an interactive puzzle game.

Reviews

Kricfalusi recalled:
The series was never finished; Icebox ran out of funding. Spümcø's web animation staff was laid off just before Thanksgiving, during the production of episode 13, with about four episodes left to go.
Cigarettes the Cat was featured in the music video for Weird Al's song "Close but [No Cigar ("Weird Al" Yankovic song)|Close but No Cigar]".
