A piece of artwork in the Halo subreddit from a user named ToastyGhostey, titled «WARTHOG RUN,» has sparked discussions among fellow fans due to its resemblance to a classic Star Wars show.

In the Halo series, a Warthog is a versatile all-terrain vehicle used by the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) for military operations. Both are key aspects of the Genndy Tartakovsky-like artwork shared by ToastyGhostey, with some commenters drawing direct comparisons to the original Star Wars: The Clone Wars, an animated series that revolves around the galactic conflict between the Republic and the Separatists.
In the Reddit post, users began talking about the potential of a Halo animated series or graphic novel with Tartakovsky at the helm. Many of them believe it would elevate the franchise's content to new heights, with other users expressing dissatisfaction with the current Halo show and suggesting that something in Tartakovsky's style would provide a significant improvement.
