  • New Japanese Cartoons: Meet The Marvel Mangaverse
    By: kenneth | - The mid-90s was a mess for Marvel. After brushes with bankruptcy, the bland Saturday morning cartoons that brought nothing new to the already-existing mythos. Another Spider-Man cartoon here, Dr. Octopus with 6 mechanical arms there, Iron Man flies around and shoots some beams, and the Fantastic Four foiling predictable villain after predictable villain.

  • Drawing Cartoon Children Using Correct Proportions
    By: Tony Lord | - When drawing cartoon children, rather than adults, the big differentiator is the proportion of the body to head size ratios.

  • Review: "tangled"
    By: Srikuma Rao | - The marketing for Tangled was atrocious. It was the sole reason why I originally had no interest in this movie at all, and is why the majority of my friends still have no interest in seeing it. Although Disney's former attempt to "return to the glory days", The Princess and the Frog, was moderately well-received by critics, it was considered a financial failure. They marketed it as a warm-hearted Disney musical in the vein of the classics, but apparently the potential audience still wasn't that ...

  • I Must Have Laughter Or I Must Cease To Live
    By: Rick London | - I work in the humor and cartooning business. Even today, when someone laughs due to something "I did", I fell a twinge of second or third grade guilt.

I simply ask them to please get out of my way so they don't look silly; as arrogant as that sounds and I know it does. By age fifty six, I know that people, ...
