Razel Razel (and the Others at The Gates)

Toonz (a.k.a. "Not a Dad")

Consistency

Isn't really a

Thing

You can expect much of at

The Gates.

Consistent

Inconsistency

Is what we've grown accustom to;
Adapted to;

Evolved from.

But Toonz is the exception to

That rule.

Toonz is consistently

Consistent

As he punches in

And

Punches out

And approaches his days with a

Rhythmic routine

Day in and day

Out:

1. Emergency repairs

2. Cleaning

3. Long-term projects (if the day permits).

But this here,

This collection of words

Right here,

That I've set to record,

That I want to jot down,

That you're eyes are reading now,

Is the story of the time

Toonz stopped being consistent.

But before I can get into

That,

We've got to establish some

Foundation

And set the ground work

For a better understanding,

So bear with me here,

If you don't mind,

That is,

'Cause

I'm going to have to ask you to

Close your eyes.

(Go on,

Don't be afraid.

Have some trust,

Will you,

Even if it's only

An ounce?)

Once you're ready with your eyes

Shut good and tight

I'm going to ask you to imagine a

Wall.

Make it tall and

Make it wide.

(Go ahead and stretch it out if you need to

'Cause I want it to be

Tall

And

Wide.)

And imagine that

Wall all

Smooth and
All white.
