Looney Tunes Teen Drama Spoof
Oh, how I love watching teen murder mysteries! 🔪🪓⛏️🔎
Pretty Little Liars. Riverdale. Veronica Mars. Three of my comfort shows.
A picture-perfect small town filled with shady, morally ambiguous residents!
The scintillating secrets that threaten to shatter relationships and are ripe for juicy blackmail!
The non-stop excitement of epic chase scenes and elaborate death traps as these young sleuths dodge a new killer every season!
A slew of countless red herrings that either build the tension or slowly wearing on the audience’s patience! 😅
And for some reason, these kids never seek the help of their parents or law enforcement to stop who’s ever targeting them!
These stories always got me hooked and I’d tune in next week, eager for whatever crazy plot twist happens next!
They’ve also provided me a great setup for a Looney Tunes series!
I don’t have an official title yet, but I’ve got a story set!
The plot takes place at a high school, where four boys from different social circles meet in detention and find themselves at the center of a mysterious event that caused a student’s disappearance, leading them to become the main suspects.
But not only are they under police investigation, the four tunes have been receiving messages and threats from an unknown source, who not only might be connected to the missing student, but who has information about the four’s darkest secrets. Now, the not-so-quite friends have to team up to protect their reputations and save their classmate… but mostly their reputations..
This serial would serve as both a love letter to the classics of the teen mystery genre, while brilliantly satirizing all the soapy, melodramatic tropes we love to watch!
Here are our 4 leads:
Henery Hawk: a tough, rebellious foster kid with a violent temper in a tiny body.
Clyde Bunny: the popular, athletic “golden boy” who strives to keep his family proud, especially his legendary uncle.
Eggbert: a mute intellectual nerd with a gift in chemistry.
Sylvester Junior (nicknamed in the series as “Sly”: a moody, dramatic artist who works out his complicated feelings through his paintings.
Supporting characters include:
• Their classmate, Pussyfoot, an adorable black-and-white kitten.
• Pussyfoot’s adoptive father, Marc Antony, a protective and intimidating bulldog.
• Sly’s father, Sylvester II.
• Clyde’s uncle, Bugs Bunny.
• Eggbert’s mother, Miss Prissy.
• Penelope Pussycat, a mysterious new neighbor who takes a special interest in Sly’s father.
• Foghorn Leghorn
• Barnyard Dawg
And naturally, every character has a deep, dark secret!
Yet, half of those secrets don’t even tie into the central mystery. 😅
Will I ever turn this idea into actual stories?
Probably not.
But it’s always fun to be creative!
