#Peppermint larry adventure time series

(46 episodes, 30 min.' Death in Bloom' is the seventeenth episode of the second season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. It's worth mentioning that a lot of the writers and artists went on to create their own series, such as Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Gravity Falls. Sadly, the show ended with only three seasons under its belt and without the characters ever setting foot on the island-although Flapjack did get to lick it. In the early episodes there were a lot of life lessons to be learned, but the episodes that followed were mostly about the repeated attempts to get to Candied Island. It's random, such as the creepy malnourished man with yellow-bug eyes warning the adventurers not to head west where dangerous creatures and the end of the world lie. That's what I think makes the show so great. I'll admit, sometimes after watching an episode, I just laugh because I don't know what I just watched. It's antique looking, minus the close-ups that emphasize a character's wrinkles or nasty pimpled face. There are a lot of stop-motion animated moments in a 2-D environment thrown against watercolor backgrounds. It's just such a weird child's show that has a lot of adult humor, but doesn't every cartoon that's not on PBS or the Disney Channel? There are other questionable characters, too, like Peppermint Larry, whose wife is made out of candy (he made his own wife, people) Sally Syrup Eight-Armed Willy and Doctor Julius Barber-a doctor that doubles as the local barber. K'nuckles is like your weird uncle who didn't amount to anything and sometimes uses you in his schemes. But K'nuckles is addicted to candy he's basically a watered-down alcoholic that will do anything to get his fix. There are plenty moments of innocence as Flapjack prances around Stormalong greeting everyone and discovering the taste of actual flapjacks for the first time. The duo get into hilarious predicaments in search of Candied Island, a wonderland made entirely of candy.Īlthough I've painted a picture of a childish cartoon, the show is anything but that. But you can now usually find him and Flapjack at the local Candy Barrel-a bar that serves candy instead of alcohol-taking a swig of maple syrup. K'nuckles is supposed to be an old Irish captain who claims to be the greatest adventurer in the world. Most inhabitants of the harbor community are sailors covered in tattoos.įlapjack's best friend and partner-in-crime is Captain K'nuckles, who I'm still convinced looks like a fish. She smothers Flapjack with love, motherly advice, and brassy one-liners.įlapjack's life consists of adventures on the harbor called Stormalong. Bubbie is everything you would expect from a guardian. Let me repeat that Flapjack lives in Bubbie's mouth, a tooth is his front door and her tongue is his bed. Flapjack was found and raised by a talking whale, Bubbie. CANDY-COVERED ISLAND Keeping a candied eye on the prize, Flapjack and Captain K'nuckles get into mischief on the Stormalong Harbor.Īside from creating the show, Orman is also the voice of the main character Flapjack, an eccentric and naïve young boy with a thirst for adventure.
