“The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan” comic books online! (And other thoughts on Charlie Chan)

Credit: Hanna Barbera Some might find it odd that I’m a fan of The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, considering the history surrounding the character of Charlie Chan (and the theme song for the cartoon is also a bit stereotypically painful). However, I differentiate it like this: Charlie Chan the Live Action Character...

Uranus and Neptune: Anatomy of a relationship, pt. 5–How to dress

With a lot of posts centering around characters, I end up writing about how one can incorporate the characters’ dressing habits into their own wardrobe if they so choose.

REVIEW: Thundercats is a great reboot of a classic cartoon

Animated Race: 11+ Middle Eastern animated characters (plus one!)

After doing a story on the soon-to-be cartoon The 99, I thought more about whether there were other Middle Eastern characters in American cartoons, particularly because I don’t remember a lot of Middle Eastern characters in the cartoons I watched growing up. So, I did some research, and here’s what I found. As a note:...
