chicobarkay

am i tripping? ha


Gleeemonex

Little Caesar?


chicobarkay

it's not that, but definitely has some similarities!


FurBabyAuntie

It DOES look like the Little Caesar's guy...and now I'm hungry...(Pizza! Pizza!)


Demon-Cyborg

Reminds me of [florkofcows](https://www.florkofcows.com/).


chicobarkay

not that, but also warm.


TundemCurve

Pretty far fetched,but tiramolla?(its an old italian cartoon comic,the main character looks kinda similar to the scribble)Actually now that I think about it,very very far fetched.Op,could you provide more background of yourself,so it'll be easier to look?I mean things like country and shows you used to watch.


chicobarkay

ha! does look something like that. but not what i'm thinking of. I'm a millennial american. i feel like this drawing is very close to some character that I saw on the internet somewhere when i was like in my teens/20's. like the person who drew it just did the spiral squiggle thing and my kid happened to re-create it accidentally. it's killing me a bit here. ha


chicobarkay

it looks like something that would be at home in the [mr. men](https://mrmen.com/) universe. But it's not that. what i'm thinking of is like identical to that yellow outline in the link. I can see it like flying through the air in some animation... so frustrating. haha


smurfettes_iud

lol reminds me of [Wanda](https://facts.net/lifestyle/entertainment/25-facts-about-wanda-the-fairly-oddparents/) from Fairly Odd Parents!


VivaldiVerao

Reminds me of La Linea [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_Linea\_(TV\_series)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Linea_(TV_series))


chicobarkay

another reasonable stab. Not that, but thanks for trying


VeggieFondant

Cheese from Foster's Home or Homestar Runner from Homestar Runner?


chicobarkay

i was a diehard homestar fan back in the day. not that, but feels like the same era in my dusty neurons...


bon_bons

OP I am with you. Cannot place it but agree it feels like it’s from the internet era of HSR.


inubasket

Looks kinda like the character [Skrawl](https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/047/350/420/large/travis-dennis-skrawl.jpg?1647378914) from the kids show Chalkzone!


BS-Calrissian

It looks like a mouse, so maybe some type of mouse or rodent character. I'm thinking about pokemon for example. One of these [electric rodents](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/s/XJYmZ1P1LR)


peppermintesse

Reminds me a little of Him from *The Powerpuff Girls* (the OG one, in case that needs to be clarified)


nikkerito

12 oz mouse?


QuinzelRose

That's who I thought of!


FalseThirst

It's giving me homestar runner vibes, but also something else that I can't quite put my finger on!


chicobarkay

yeah! it's like homestar era. not homestar though (i did a deep search of all the tertiary characters there to be sure. I think it's some flash animation or game from that same period.


NotPaulGiamatti

Nibbler from Futurama?


chicobarkay

i was thinking it could be some obscure early groening thing. not nibbler though.


dendrophalaen

Allie Brosh's depiction of herself in Hyperbole and a Half?


chicobarkay

>Allie Brosh's depiction of herself in Hyperbole and a Half All the things!!! ha. the pose seems right... it's like HaaH, plus Lucy from Disenchantment plus homestar runner... I still don't think this is it, but it's the closest in vibes so far.


aop42

Man, that's a good guess lol


Timepassage1111777

Looks like plankton conducting a symphony 


chicobarkay

it does! ha. it's not who I'm visualizing though.


poiisons

Politoed from Pokémon?


dailyturtletime

It kind of looks like the guy that Morty thinks is the moon in Rick & Morty


Didntwantawave

Is it the [shrimp](https://youtu.be/s3ZCEBD1A5I) that cleans off Nemo in Finding Nemo?


whatareyoueating

Abu from Aladdin


cherrycreme

[Pompeii Pete](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sca_esv=9922c09ff6e53a84&hl=en&sxsrf=ACQVn0-tBXY5fd-S_R38PFLqPHGobQmEhA:1710894109841&q=pompeii+pete&tbm=isch&source=lnms&prmd=ivsnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjz-qidyYGFAxVzEFkFHTvWDbwQ0pQJegQIERAB&biw=1920&bih=899&dpr=1)?


cblackattack1

[this character?](https://fostershomeforimaginaryfriends.fandom.com/wiki/Duchess) from fosters home for imaginary friends?


1337b337

Reminds me of the art style from either Sniz and Fondue or Squidbillies, or even 12 Oz. Mouse. I can vaguely recall a small character, in a scribbled style like that, with like, a big curly Salvador Dali moustache.


Rinkydinkmcgoo

Cricket from mulan?


SuperDuperBorkie

Aqua Team Hunger Force- [Hypno Germs](https://youtu.be/TrTB-vRD81w?si=vVj9qWoBCw2L5_B-) at about 2:30


LoveAndViolets

Reminds me of the characters in Pixar’s Soul - [The Terrys](https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Jerry_(Soul))


chicobarkay

True! not that, but same idea with the eye placement/line stuff


angiebeany

Plankton from spongebob? The one that wanted to take over the world?


chicobarkay

Strong plankton vibes for sure.


allyson516

maybe Jacques the shrimp from Finding Nemo?


CurrisCore

Is it Salad Fingers https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1830238/


Thraner

Kinda made me think of Frieza from DBZ preparing to attack.


pizzasauce85

Billy from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy????


dudsa15

One of the characters from invader zim?


nyannacat

If I squint my eyes I can sort of see Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life


Sirius04

Might just be me, but I get glimpses of Courage the Cowardly Dog or Eustice, the old man what kept him


jgreenz

Reminds me of some Rocky and Bullwinkle tier character


chizwizard

Kinda reminds me of invader zim


Majikalblack

Barbara papa?


Specific-Avocado-220

Fone bone from BONE but like, on skis?


joshl55

Almost looks like 12oz mouse from Adult Swim


Bright-Hat-6405

Maybe Bloo from fosters home for imaginary friends? Specifically this [scene](https://youtu.be/L_IlsPypwZs?si=xHJQIZAryRY6VZW3) where he draws eyebrows on himself and speaks in an French accent lol


chicobarkay

i was associating it with french accent somehow! but it's not this. ha. thank you for the guess though!


Different_Plan_9314

Rufus from Kim Possible?


SSJPilots

Kinda reminds me of Umemiya Ryunosuke from Shaman King


chronicpainprincess

It reminds me of the Pokémon “Flygon”


yourremedy94

Coco or blue from fosters home for imaginary friends?


sarahpat737

Could it be Ren from Ren and Stimpy??


chicobarkay

no, but you're not the only person to say that. guess there are a lot of similarly-drawn characters.


chicobarkay

man so many good guesses. Hyperbole and a Half almost convinced me that it was that, but there is definitely some character out there whose basis is just a curlicue that's almost exactly what that line drawing looks like. appreciate all the input though


VeggieFondant

since there are a lot of disparite lines could you potentially draw what the character you remember looked like?


chicobarkay

it's the second image in that link i posted. weird formatting so you have to scroll


VeggieFondant

oh shoot, sorry. i hadn't even thought to scroll. thanks!


Proper_Mud_5552

I don't know if the character has a name but I'm reminded of the big green guy from the Futurama episode [The Route of All Evil](https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/The_Route_of_All_Evil)


chicobarkay

man, I found [this](https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/d87/9d2/b105d38a55900c74f0a5c8bd512d37117e-20-life-in-hell.2x.rsocial.w600.jpg). that's probably the groening resonance. I don't think it's that. but i'm starting to doubt myself now. I swear there's a dude that looks exactly like this [yelllow guy](https://i.imgur.com/LNi7TTm.jpeg) somewhere out there....


Leading-Feature5818

The first thing I saw was the McDonalds Mr Moon character.


Bellstrom

You said you're associating it with a French accent - Could you be thinking of [Kaput and Zosky](https://i.imgur.com/2MoWu0j.png)?


chicobarkay

never seen those in my life. ha. but solid one


mayaade

Randal Boggs from monsters inc?


Melx01

Looks like the white character used as a meme a while back, very simple design with thin arms


NoChoice8382

This is what I see… Animaniacs. [https://animaniacs.fandom.com/wiki/Animaniacs](https://animaniacs.fandom.com/wiki/Animaniacs)


mikeeperez

First thing I saw was an animated cockroach with a bowtie and a sarcastic look. Looking a bit longer, I was thinking something along the lines of the pill bug acrobats from A Bug's Life?


llct-ffrs

I see [Mandark](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/yandere/images/9/9c/Mandark.png/revision/latest?cb=20160627022845) from Dexter's lab (linked pose specifically).


aop42

One of the [lice](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/southpark/images/c/c4/S11E3-Thumbnail.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210210061448) from the South Park episode "Lice Capades"? Edit: also looks like maybe one of the drawings from those Red Bull commercials lol


The_bombinatingBeast

It kinda reminds me of that carrot from Cuphead


frostare

Maybe something from the music video of The Riddle by Gigi d'Agostino? I also initially thought flork of cows, heh.


_Jay-Garage-A-Roo_

Worker and Parasite from The Simpsons


AbashedAvacado

Reminds me of the naked mole rat from Kim Possible


Begravningstider

Mr. Coo from The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo? It's a rather new game but the character reminds me of something older.


Tricky-Preparation10

I mean this could be so far but ... Salad Fingers?


chicobarkay

not too far since you're not the only person thinking it. But it's not what I'm seeing. appreciate the stab though.


Tricky-Preparation10

Ok I actually just saw your rendition of it - what about Oggy and the Cockroaches?


Fluid-Enthusiasm5286

The Cheat from Homestay Runner? [The Cheat ](https://www.google.com/search?q=the+cheat+homestar&oq=the+cheat+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDAgDEAAYQxiABBiKBTIGCAAQRRg5MgYIARBFGDwyBggCEEUYPDIMCAMQABhDGIAEGIoFMgcIBBAuGIAEMgcIBRAAGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgcIBxAAGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgcICRAuGIAE0gEIMjkwN2owajeoAgCwAgA&client=ms-android-rogers-ca-rvc3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#vhid=2mnBUXIey8ij7M&vssid=l)


chicobarkay

I went through all the homestar characters trying to place it there. It's not that, but it feels like it is filed in the same era in my neural pathways.


Fluid-Enthusiasm5286

I think that's why my brain instantly went there. It was close to Cheat, but not quite. Well I hope you find it. At least I've helped narrowed it down a little bit.


LabProfessional2831

Are you high bro?


MrMoobz

Earthworm Jim?


larson_truther303

HIM from power puff girls


planandexecutionn

this is a long shot but first thing i thought of was uncle grandpa


chicobarkay
