In the vein of my other post about Native-American animated characters, I decided to find and post 15 prominent Mexican/Latino characters. Actually, there’s more than 15, since some shows have an entire...

ForwardSyria posted a story this month about how Kuwaiti-published comic book The 99 is in the final talks with a major U.S. television station to develop and produce a cartoon show that could premiere as early as this fall. Not many people probably know about this comic (including myself), so in preparation for the...

Over at The Nerd Signal is a list of the shows Cartoon Network has launched or will launch this year and (I’m assuming) the next. Some of them I’ve covered, like Sym-Bionic Titan, Regular Show, MAD, and Scooby-Doo! Mystery, Incorporated, but some of them, like The Looney Tunes Show, Young Justice, Robotomy and Secret...

It seems like I’ve been talking about this forever! For months! What with the first introduction of Kevin, my analysis of sexuality and how it relates to Archie Comics, tackling how to write Jughead in this post-openly-gay Archie world, even a preview of my review! And now it’s finally here! What can I say...

I watched a ton of cartoons today, all in anticipation of Regular Show and Mad. To be honest, I was more excited about Regular Show,even if I’m not too crazy about having Adventure Time cut down to 15 minutes on either side of Regular Show, but both turned out to be wildly entertaining. as...

This week wasn’t a great week in terms of solidy “fresh” movies, but still, there’s a Box Office Battle to be had, so let’s have it! First is Machete, which came in at 72% fresh on RottenTomatoes.

I felt I didn't explain myself when I first wrote my retroactive review of "Raiders". It was a combination of… http://fb.me/HdjCBI12 # More on Draco Malfoy: This time, how he and Snape's relationships with women hinge around the M-word http://fb.me/F1Wjsane # Hadji Demystified: What's in a name?

Another month, another issue of Archie, and an entertaining one at that. Actually, as I’ve said many times before, Archie Comics, Inc. has increased their storytelling ability infinity-fold since switching to new management. By releasing some of the cobwebs of the past, Jon Goldwater has allowed the company to come into the 21st century...

What an egregious oversight; I don’t have anything about one of the biggest shake-ups in Archie history–Life with Archie.  Anyway, I’m aiming to fix some of this error by talking about it, or, at least, what I know about it. From what I have gathered, the biggest news is not the soap-operatic style (the...

As much as I’ve talked about Kevin Keller and Veronica #202, it would be remiss of me to wait a long time before I, at least, gave my first reactions to the issue. Firstly, let me state that I haven’t gotten a physical copy of the book yet; I’ve had to read most of...

This is not a cartoon or a movie, but I felt this show deserved a mention on my site. Not a “Random Lookalikes“-style mention or even a slight mention in relation to something else, but a really good post honoring the show. When I was a really small child, we didn’t have cable, so...

SINGH noun Derived from the Sanskrit word Siṃha, meaning “lion”. Other derivations of “Singh” include “Sinha”, “Simha”, “Singhal, ” and other spellings throughout India, Sri Lanka, and the countries making up Indochina. (Wikipedia) Luckily, this entry isn’t as controversial as the post covering the different meanings behind Hadji’s first name. Still, like the name...
