Elmer "Butch" Hartman IV is an egotistical creator whose cartoons were once good, but turned into absolute shit over time. The four cartoons he made-- The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy and Bunsen is a Beast-- were such complete and utter garbage that Butch called it quits from Nickelodeon in 2018.

Before his projects

Prior to all this madness, Butch was a former animator at CalArts. He once was also an animator at Disney, but got fired due to his drawings being so "Hanna-Barbera"-style compared to the likes of Disney. Later, he became an artist an Hanna-Barbera and worked on whatever series they did.

To Nickelodeon, he went!

In 1998 Butch left Cartoon Network/Hanna-Barbera to produce his own series for Nickelodeon. Nick expressed surprise at the shorts he produced, so he was given a series (The Fairly OddParents) that ran for 10 seasons.

Everything else

Butch left Nick in 2018. And nothing of value was lost.

Afterwords, Butch launched a Kickstarter project called Oaxis but got lots of uproar and flack because some of his fans realized then Butch forgot to say it had it Christian values for a group called the Church of Bethel where some wondered if it have some common points with the Church of Scientology.

Scamming artists

In a troubling series of events, he deceived some pinoy artist named Kuro the Artist (Powerword: Rob Orpilla) whom he had a contractual agreement where Butch would pay the pinoy enough money to keep food on his table. Rather than actually listen to the very guy who based a fan series off of Danny Phantom and mashed it up with Ben 10, he dismissed the #PayKuro campaign on Twitter and blocked the artist like a little bitch who lost an argument on which piece of media is better. This betrayal left Rob furious, prompting him to file a lawsuit for breach of contract. Ultimately, the case was resolved when Hartman settled at the last moment. Following this experience, Rob expressed how much Butchy Bitch traumatized him to the point of never wanting ANYTHING to do with him.

Butch also took commissions to illustrate original characters or beloved figures from movies, shows, and video games in his unique style. But he's lazy as fuck with them as seen in an instance where someone commissioned him to create a drawing of Female Ranma from Ranma ½, but he decided to literally draw over an existing photo instead of rendering her in his own artistic style. Then when someone commissioned him to draw Mikasa Ackerman from Attack On Titan, he decided to copy the exact same pose Mikasa did in somebody else's fanart of her! But on the bright side, he didn't draw her with ridiculously big tits and hips like many fan artists to with every female characters these days. Not because the commissioner wanted him to draw Mikasa from when she was 15 years old, but BECAUSE HE'S CHRISTIAN, GOD DAMN IT! To add salt to the wound, he expects people to pay him over $100 for his shitty renders of characters for famous media. Who does he think he is? Mr. Krabs!?
