I'm re-reading Richard Williams essential reference "Animator's Survival Kit" for character and object animation class today and wanted to share this poem:
Epitaph of an Unfortunate Artist
He found a formula
for drawing
comic rabbits:
This formula for
drawing comic
rabbits paid,
So in the end he
could not
change the
tragic habits
This formula for
drawing comic
rabbits made.
-Robert Graves
I know for a fact I fell into this pattern when I drew the coyoteville comic strip which was heavily influenced by Warner Brothers and a bit of Disney as well as more than a pinch of Walter Kelly, which will probably take a bit of work to break out of.
