As you all know I'm a Cramp Twins fanboy, it seems like just yesterday I saw the first episode on Cartoon Network and from that moment on it has been one of my favourite animated programs. So imagine how I felt when it meet it's end in 2005, but that doesn't matter because Cartoon Network could still make cartoons I mean whats the worse that could happen.......................
ahh rats!!!
Now like every francise of production there has been propagander revolving around The Cramp Twins so you might have noticed there have rumors of a certain "lost episode" In my "Top 10 Shows Never Ended" list, I mentioned that there was something about a missing episode called "Goodbye to Lucien and Wayne" Now this has been on Wikipedia for ages and while I consider that website as "propagander" it makes me wonder. I mean were they really gonna end with a finale or is this another conspiracy? there were also recent rumors of a new series that was to suppose to come after this episode and prehaps a spin-off even.
Whats also intriguing about this rumor is the name of the episode "Goodbye to Lucien and Wayne" now you cant really tell if the name alone is real. I mean it sounds like someone made it up but if the Angry Beavers had a lost episode with the word "goodbye" then there must be a connection. After all both shows are about brothers and they both have missing episodes so maybe they were both cancelled for the same reason. Another thing about the name of this episode is "what did it actually mean?" Was it about the Cramp Twins moving away to a different city? or was it a metaphor for the show coming to a conclusion so there would no way of coming back. Or maybe, maybe they were gonna kill off both Lucien and Wayne. If that's true then it would have blown everyone's mind, to end a show with it's main protagonists dying would have been a dark and mature way and would've left an impact on children's animation. I mean think about it people.
Whatever ending this show was going for "Goodbye to Lucien and Wayne" would have been an epic conclusion to such an enjoyable program. I'm just sad it never aired or never made, either way I sure hope the producers will re-create this episode, with newer animation; I'm waiting! If you want to support my message to the world, just contact Cartoon Network (or whatever channel The Cramp Twins aired, depending on where you lived) ask them where to find the footage or audio. I repeat even if there's no footage then we can make our own and make it a viral hit.Also if you do know where I could find some footage, recordings or storyboard work then leave your answer at the comment box below I would appreciate it.
Now as a tribute to the Cramp Twins I like to show you a picture I've done on PhotoShop, inspired by 2001 A Space Odyssey I created this for fun as well as a statement of what impact a cartoon or a piece of art has, after it's debut to the world. Give me your thought and we'll see you next time.
