Joe Cartoon is an Adobe Flash animated cartoon series created by Joseph C. Shields and later animated by Mondo Media.[1][2] Starting as an independent website, Joe Cartoon was later affiliated with Atom Films,[3] before becoming independent again in 2006, then being bought in 2007 by Endemol.[1]
Noted for their crude humor and tongue-in-cheek violence, Joe Cartoons were among the first widely distributed web-based productions of their kind.[4] Produced in Macromedia's (Adobe's) Flash format, a number of the cartoons are interactive, such as "Gerbil in a Microwave" and "Frog in a Blender".[4] "Frog in a Blender" has been downloaded at least 110 million times.[5] Before the dotcom crash, the site was said to be making $25,000 per month from banner advertising.[6] Shields won $80,000 in compensation from John Zuccarini in 2001 under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act after Zuccarini cybersquatted domain names.[7]
The cartoons were broadcast on G4 as part of their Happy Tree Friends & Friends evening, and Joe Cartoon was in the top 10 on iTunes for several months.[8] In April 2006, a collection of 40 Joe Cartoon creations was released on DVD in North America, with some DVD-specific content created for the release.[4] Joecartoon was taken down in 2010 and the content was moved over to YouTube; however, the website returned in May 2012.
