Narrated and scripted in the style
of school propaganda films of the 1950’s, ARCHETYPES
animated films present that single second where one exclaims
“oh, I know someone like that!” Combining minutely
observed, caustic commentary with brilliant artwork, the Archetypes
happily illuminate and eviscerate the denizens of the contemporary
urban world.

Archetypes
"The Moodie"
Archetype Number 17: The Moodie. Average age: 40. Natural habitat: on a trip to Bhutan to sample
yak butter tea. Overheard: You won't
find me in the sort of joint (the Moodie will often use words
like "joint") where it's two bites of pastel-coloured
s--- (the Moodie is also fond of profanity) on a plate where
some kitchen ponce has made a Jackson Pollock out of coulis!"

"Silcoff is a good mimic and she and McLeod both
have a shrewd eye for telling details like the right brand
names and band names. They also have a healthy scorn for
trends and snobberies, such as gourmet water and the quadruple-digit
purse. Archetypes is a slim and snarky
read … Like a latter-day Fran Lebowitz, or a less
acidic David Rakoff, Silcoff finds the funny in our annoying
foibles and implausible subcultures."
