They have every right to be mad. Seth has a reputation for being mean spirited in the guise of humor.

What changed about Snoopy?

That’s fascinating. I wouldn’t expect the trashy team MacFarland to have that kind of influence. i find it interesting MacFarland has a live action show for a dramedy, but reserves his puerile humor for a cartoon.

Well, he fucked that up, too.

Well, except for the six packs a day smoking.

It doesn't count if you don't know what the story is about.

I'll add a caveat - this advice only applies to stupid and gullible people.

That's been generally a problem with the satirical, prime time. adult animation comedies. Much like with a standup, the characters are themselves stereotypes. This is probably where Mike Judge is one of the best - he seems to recognize the stereotypical nature of his characters and those characters end up having to kind of own up to their own limitations.

Sometimes I downvote people I like to. It doesn’t mean I dislike them or even think they’re wrong, I just don’t agree with the sentiment. Nabs I downvoted because it pissed him off.

Batman: TAS changed my idea of what a cartoon could be.

I think I did , but only because I Packard’ my googling. I don’t know how periods aren’t fatal….

The problem with both of those is that they were just conventional sitcoms (for the era) that happened to use animation. That’s certainly a valid use of motion arts, but it’s not analogous to the Saturday morning cartoons that used the art to create the world their characters inhabited. At best both of those take the usual sitcom plot and use the art for props: you could have easily made the plots for both work in live action.

Whether it be anime or American domestic, Disney, Hannah Barberra, Miyazaki, or McFarlane and Judge - animation is a medium that’s susceptible to its own limitations in a way that makes it impossible to define. Each animator creates their own world building rules, simultaneously opening up a world of content and sacrificing a piece of their work’s identity.

Saturday morning cartoons were better in the age before there were prime time cartoons.

Happy Birthday! (It’s still your birthday on the west coast.)

I was going to go there, but you already explained it. i just want a relaxing and safe holiday.

I don't really know how you get an aging quarterback to perform and then willingly step aside except for paying out the nose for him.

Even the Mexican food we get here is different than what you would get in Mexico, but it tends to not be cheese heavy simply because what we think of as Mexican food is a heavy blend of Spanish influence, Mexican influences and the local indigenous foods. That's not to say there isn't still a lot of cheese, it's just not deployed so liberally across every dish like in Tex Mex.

Believe it or not, I don't necessarily need cheese on my tacos either. I think Mexican street tacos usually have cotija on them, but shredded Jack or American kind of makes the taco greasy. It's all about the salsa.

That is fucking awesome.

I don't typically scroll ebay for lithium ion firebombs. Regardless, your craptacular photo no longer belongs to you, it belongs to the internet, in perpetuity. AI could be stealing it as we speak!

Sure I did. I found it right here. On the UEMB… …which is on the internet.
