It looked very nondescript and gray (to be expected in the Black n’ White side of town), rather like it was placed there from the real world. “.Oh dear.what a dreary place.” Betty murmured to herself as she exited the taxi (who sped off like a racer once she paid the fare), and found herself facing the outside of a large, blocky building.

Even more so, her desire to find the toons that she’d heard about in the good old days, if only in passing.Īnd, well.Betty Boop wouldn’t be herself if she didn’t at least take a peek. But, as was always true to her character, curiosity overruled her sense. And that’s when she heard about the darkest corner, where true evil was said to reside, a haunted store of memories and regrets. There was one who was somewhat familiar with the Defunct she’d gone down there once before to rescue her oldest co-stars. And when they do, they just learn to make the best of it.Īnd then, for a very unlucky few, whose names in the real world were ground into dust along with their creators over time.they are practically imprisoned there, never to know again the happiness and memories they brought to those that watched them work.Įven still, there are toons who just don’t like to give up on them. But, all do realize that someday it may be their fate to end up on that side of the proverbial tracks. It isn’t all dreary (and they certainly make sure it isn’t) many toons are remembered again and revitalized.

Even those dark spaces have its own silver linings and humor.īut there is a place that many of the residents are cautious to talk about a sprawling underground, basically like the slums of the universe, known by many names: the Defunct, the Lost Place, the Land of the Forgotten, the Faded.where toons that have been forgotten, hadn’t experienced laughter from the Real Side for so very long, lose their energy and their power and go to live out their eternal lives in solitude. Many of them are acknowledged after all, a good story has to have its unscrupulous side, and the toons know this in spades. The Toon World, like any other world, has its dark corners that hide alongside the eternal light, energy, and happiness in which it was built.
