Bulkregister is a Flash cartoon series developed by Renegade cartoons. In the first Webisode, Ajives.com and his sister, Amazonia.com want to build houses on some land. But the problem is that they don't know anything about constructing houses. Yet each of them has grand plans and won't let anything stop them. Ajives asks help from Doofus.com while Amazonia asks Reggie.com
It's a very quick paced story that although doesn't finish on a strong cliffhanger, is meant to be watched with regularly. The title of the story, bulkregister hints at the cartoon's habit of putting dot coms on every word or character. The story also parallel how dot com companies, unprepared to deal with regular business processes either hire expensive incompetent professionals or effective and cheap experts.
The style of the cartoon borrows lots from early Hanna-Barbera cartoons and other series from the late 1960s. Just like those cartoons, the emphasis is not on motion, but on the stylistic quality of the characters' designs. They are angular, with few colours and clean contour lines. As for the backgrounds, they borrow from those water colour pastels used in old period cartoons. Great stuff.
