I don't know Steve Cutts. But he seems to be a paragon of insensitivity. In this one, the main characters are various ice cream treats. They are humanlike but subject to the ravages of the desert and melting. But we also have the human element that torments them and keeps them enslaved. This is about as violent as a cartoon can get as these creatures are tortured and crushed and eaten. Unlike anything I've seen before.
