Cabbages and Kings

A mutual informed me of this rejected Looney Tunes action show created by Maxwell Atoms (Billy and Mandy) and C.H. Greenblatt (Chowder)

It is a Men in Black- and Miami Vice-inspired action-comedy followed Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as monster-fighting ACME agents, with Witch Hazel serving as the main villain.

But the real reason why I bring this up is because of the concept art of the Peter Lorre character:

HE LOOKS LIKE A REJECTED CHICKEN FETUS😭😭😭😭😭😭

I would have loved for this show to have been just for him <3333

He looks an awful lot like Slappy, and I think I know why. CH Greenblatt has worked on Spongebob, especially for the earlier seasons. He does return on occasion to write an episode or two, I know for a fact he did design The Patrick Star Show designs. I know while Kaz was the one who made Slappy, his first appearance in Spongebob's Big Birthday Blowout was very clearly unrefined. He looks quite different from shot to shot in that episode. I think it is safe to assume his design got refined (presumably by Greenblatt) for the Patrick Star Show. Hence why this character and Slappy look so alike.
