A Chip and T Cartoon

Yes sir, TTIIOO is back with new uploads!

This one was a request from . He wanted a black and white cartoon version of Chip & T. And I got so into it, that I even gave it a Roman Numeral copyright date and a history! Imma tell it to you! A bit of inspiration from :iconjbwarner: is here as well!

In 1925, two well small time producers entered into the animation game. Their names were D. Zigg and T. Stevens. The duo got together a small team and began producing small animated shorts similar to Warner Bros. "Merrie Melodies". They were shorts that featured cartoon characters dancing around to track music. However, Disney created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the first recognizable character in a cartoon. Warner Bros. fought back with Porky Pig, their own recognizable character. The new studio, DZT Studios, needed a niche. Someone to give them an edge. In 1926, they created Chip, an all-around American who worked in various jobs each cartoon. He would normally screw up said job and get fired the next minute. However, it was his never quit attitude and willingness to work for what he wanted that gave him popularity with fans. The middle class could get behind Chip, feeling the same working pains as he did. During the 30s, The Great Depression set in and people would STILL go to see Chip in theaters, trying to work himself a job. People would enjoy his working attitude for decades to come. The character Chip, since this was during the silent era, didn't talk. But his goofy, clumsy personality was shown in his actions. He also had super strength, as shown by his cartoon "Great Girders", where he was shown lifting several girders at once, to the surprise of his co-workers. D. Zigg found that his character was a huge success, but Stevens thought that Chip needed a "partner in crime" so to speak. In 1928, they introduced T into the show. The young boy was a 12 year old southern child who seemed to either be homeless or just wasn't always with his family. He seemed to exhibit a bit of strength as well, as well as the ability to jump really high and run fast. T was historic as the first African American cartoon character to not have the characteristics of the average black in cartoons back then (Giant lips, huge noses, "soubern takkin").Chip & T were introduced as a team in the next milestone in DZT Studios history...

What do you guys think? I plan on doing these until I hit the 2010s. DZ, if you want to help too, you can and if you guys want your characters in the DZT roster, you can just ask! I'll create a history for them and everything! Just don't expect it to be TOO similar to you history for them!
