The Mask cartoon could venture into some serious absurdism weirdness, like a LOT of shows in the 90s (before we had lots of anime): I mean Street Sharks, Biker Mice From Mars, Mighty Max, Ren & Stimpy, Twisted Tales Of Felix etc.. it was a crazy era.. I'm glad they altered his character in the cartoon and movie - some people didn't like it but I think it made the Mask actually likeable (while the original was a full-on protagonist villain). Its sad we don't have the same kind of crazy shows these days (I don't count Spongebob) outwith the animes - at least from what I've watched.
