In this obscure cartoon short by then-young animator Craig McCracken, the Whoopass Girls (who were ultimately renamed the "Powerpuff Girls" a few years later when Cartoon Network picked up the short), three cute doll-like super girls created by the nerdy Professor Utonium (to create the "perfect little girl," he mixed together the three essential ingredients: sugar, spice, and everything nice, and accidentally added a can of "whoopass" to the concoction, thus resulting in the birth of the three girls: The leader Blossom, the shy Bubbles and the tough & tomboyish Buttercup) fight the then-unnamed Gangrene Gang in the main title sequence, and then in the actual episode, "A Sticky Situation," they fought the then-intelligent Amoeba Boys, who resorted to sticking themselves on the challenging Whoopass Girls, until the Girls find a clever way to get rid of them...

Fans who buy "The Mane Event" DVD will get the chance to see this, Craig McCracken's first student short, which is a hilarious harbinger of things to come. Many of the design elements are already present -- as is much of the opening credit sequence -- but the girls are a bit more sadistic here (which is fitting since they're called the Whoopass Girls). My only complaint is that on the DVD every instance of the word "ass" is bleeped out, but "The Powerpuff Girls" is a kids show, right? Riiight.
