Pookie's Awesome Cartoon Thing

Pookie's Awesome Cartoon Thing is a children's animated television series created by BaconMatthew, and a revival of the 2001 series of the same name. The series chronicles the further adventures of Pookie, Bagel and Chrome in the strange city of Cityville where anything can happen. The series has been running since October 5, 2015 on BaconNetwork.

Billy West and Nolan North take over as the voices of Pookie and Chrome (respectively), whilst Bagel continues to be voiced by Dab-mcgee.

Continuing from the 2001 series, Pookie, Bagel and Chrome are three unlikely friends living in a hotel room, and having crazy adventures in the weird Cityville, where an evil fireball named Shine is trying to destroy them every chance he gets, but his robot he built in his childhood, ROBOT-THING, messes them up on a regular basis.
