Wait, what do you mean 'anymore'? I thought Sammie was weird because no toon had abilities like that before, but you're saying they used to and he's weird because he still does? How long ago did toons -stop- having those abilities then?
all toons had the usual toon abilities up until a couple hundred years ago when something happened (exactly what is an underlying plot in the comic so spoilers) and they just mysteriously stopped being born with them. so essentially, toon abilities in sammie’s world eventually died out and just became a forgotten chapter in history books. no one knows why this happened but many came to the conclusion that toons just didn’t need them anymore so they, in a sense, “evolved” out of them. that in itself is questionable seeing as they made toons’ lives a lot easier but i digress… toons in sammie’s world have been without abilities for a good 300 years or so, so no one really questions it anymore. so yeah Sammie is special because he’s the first toon in at least 300 years to be born with these toon abilities that were thought to have died out a long time ago.
also, i should mention that he keeps his abilities a secret from the general public save for his dad and a few close friends, hence why there’s not a big uproar going on over him… sammie used his abilities in his cartoons as well which is what made them so successful and popular, but everyone just thinks they were really good special effects and are completely unaware they were the real deal. hope that made sense!!
