| So you want to create a marginally
subversive cartoon? |
Our handy guide to tweaking social norms just enough to develop
a large-ish, cult following (read: the target 18-29 male
demographic), while sufficiently aping standard sitcom principles
and cliches to convince a major network (read: FOX) to pay
you lots of money.
Sample wisdom (no charge!) below. Click

-
The second rule of cartoons is that you absolutely need
a character who feels unmitigated
contempt for all human life, except
his own (once again, always male). Usually,
this character will end up getting all the
good lines, so pick wisely.
- Warning!: This character
absolutely, positively must also be completely
ineffectual (because with world
domination, it's the repeated failed attempts
at getting it that's funny, not the having
it).
- With that in mind, your choices here are
limited to: children, animals, robots, the
elderly, or, if you're especially adventurous,
the dumb fat guy. |

dear, now Crappy has a blog... |
A sample of what you'll find floating around this month:
The Lost season
one finale
Using our super-spoiler powers, we now peer into the
misty future of this glacially teasing series:
Lost season two finale:
The castaways finally work up the
courage to enter the hatch, after
a season's worth of warnings from
Hurley and Sayid. Straws are drawn,
Locke goes in.
Lost season
three finale: After
being missing for
the entire season,
Locke shows up
silently in camp.
All rush to ask
him what happened.
He says nothing,
and just breaks
into a broad smile.
Lost season
four finale: Locke
finally breaks
his season-long
silence, and talks
about his hatch
experience. Describes
it as a long, dark
tunnel. "Like
a journey into
my own soul."
ABC then cancels the series. Thanks for watching!

our gratuitous music links... |
highwire has
added a heap of well-received new mp3s to their download section.
Get out and see them while you can.
And on a related note, we're pretty sure
these aren't the Jasper
Rine movies and mp3s you've been Googling for, but feel
free to check them out, anyway. Or if you want, check out
the least-influential band of the late '80s, Jackhammer
Cats.
