18 Of Your Favorite '90s Cartoons Reimagined As Hipsters

Do you ever wonder what your favorite cartoon characters from childhood would look like if they grew up, went to liberal arts college, became raw vegans, moved to Brooklyn, brewed their own beer, and started an esoteric zine? Matt Lassen,
a cartoonist, illustrator, and a Mad Magazine contributor has answered this quandary with his 23 image series of favorite '90s cartoons reimagined as hipsters.
“I wanted to do an homage to cartoons from my youth with a comment on society. I thought it would be fun to see something I love, cartoons, with something I dislike, hipsters,” Lassen said, describing his inspiration for updating the cartoons to BuzzFeed. “Hipsters try so hard to be exaggerated and over the top which are the principles of cartooning that I thought it would be a fun series.”
If your nostalgia is feeling a bit warped, you are not alone. While porkpie hats, Sriracha tote bags, and the newest iPhone are spot on depiction of what you might see in a cafe in Williamsburg or hanging out on the streets of Portland, it seems so wrong in the hands of these pure creatures! Lassen plays with the idea of exaggeration, how some hipsters have become almost cartoonish in the over-the-top way they follow trends. Lassen hits the hipsters where it hurts, because if there is one thing hipsters love more than anything, it's nostalgic products from our youth (Jelly Sandals, vinyl, etc.).
Check out Matt's awesome cartoons and never be able to watch your fave '90s cartoons again without picturing them covered in sailor tattoos!
