Line 13:
Thus Blanc has to pull an all-nighter to figure out what kind of bunny would go well with the titular character of FFBB show. While he's at it, he gazes up at one of his own designed characters, Flux Wildly, in a sketch he has on the wall, longing to actually use him instead of the rabbit he's gotten fed up with.
He nods off, suffering from author's block. He wakes to the sound of his TV turning on and displaying said show, only for it to turn into a void that sucks Blanc into the cartoon world! In it, he meets his very own character, Flux, and asks him for help to return to the human world. Flux takes Blanc to the king of Cutopia, who promises to help him go back, in exchange for gathering the materials for the Cutifier
Thus begins the journey of Drew Blanc and Flux Wildly to find the pieces to make the Cutifier work and reverse what the evil Count Nefarious has done.

It's [[Better Than It Sounds]], like most games when described like this...
There's a petition to make a sequel here: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/toonstrucktwo/sign/. And [[Word of God]] says the game may even see rerelease on current day consoles with the sequel materials bundled in it. Some of the unused materials from the game can be seen [http://akril15.com/sr/toon/toon.html here], and there's even a [http://toonstruck2.games4um.de ''Toonstruck 2'' fanproject].

* [[Evil Plan]]: Take over the world and
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]:
* [[Expressive Mask]]: Flux's "eyes" are actually a pair of heavily stylized glasses; he doesn't appear to have proper eyes at all, but that doesn't seem to slow him down.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Even if it's just a balloon animal...
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Depends on how you look at it,
* [[Foil]]: {{spoiler|During his pitch to his boss at the end of the game, Drew proposes that Flux be added to the cartoon as a co-star to Fluffy because they would act as foils to each other
* [[Foreshadowing]]: An example that was cut. Just before Drew is transported to Cutopia, Vincent van Gogh's self-portrait can be seen hanging on Drew's room's wall. One of the things that was cut from the game was getting to meet Vincent van Gogh.

* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: "Groan!", "Heavy sigh
* [[Sequel Hook]]: The final cut scene hints at this. Sadly, the sales of the game were too disappointing to justify the sequel's development, even though the developers have stated they wish to make one.

** The game actually lets you ask about its disappearance. While the response is merely [[Evil Laugh|a malicious cackle]], the answer becomes apparent once you ask yourself {{spoiler|[[wikipedia:Animal glue|where the glue comes from]]}}.
*** As a matter of fact, the presence of the machine ought to be a dead giveaway before you even need to bother asking. Not to mention the fact that the poor bugger was named "[[Meaningful Name|Elmer]]".
** Before the stable gets malevolized, right-clicking on the horse will [[Foreshadowing|lead Flux to describe him as]]
**
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Drew Blanc literally exclaims "Spiders! Why did it have to be spiders?" upon seeing a couple of them crawling on the wall.
