I have favourite characters. There, I said it.
Although I would love to think that I love them equally, and on some level there is truth to that, there are a few I continually come back to and just want to get into them more. Now, just because they are ...

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 27, 2018The Pumpkin Fox
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Nov. 26, 2018
I gave an assignment to draw a pumpkin to a third grade class and after each student turned in their version of a pumpkin or a Jack-O-Lantern, a student turned in a drawing of a pumpkin fox.
“Oh my gosh, that drawing is SO cute!” I exclaimed as I reached ...
One Bad Apple

It's a vampire, break out your torches and pitch forks! The geek have inherited the earth, but far from it being an accepting utopia, the acceptable targets have just changed and the haters run free. There are a lot of things that people like to crap on, but few ...
The Double Edged Sword of Stereotyping
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 24, 2018
Stereotypes permeate our every day lives. Whether we like it or not, our brains are wired for making quick estimations and judgments based on patterns and pattern recognition.
This very pattern we're looking for to identify at a glance is what a stereotype is. And it's very useful ...

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 20, 2018 LISTEN on our new player!
Listen on Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=224306 his characters weren't simple 2D cut-outs (like Maher's version of political figures), they were complicated and human. These were A-political characters who strived to do what was right outside of mere party affiliations ...
Recycling Ideas From The Trash
Amelius at 12:04PM, Nov. 18, 2018
There are no bad ideas, just poor execution…..terrible, awful execution.
You may have seen those games that go around on social media, such as “Describe a classic movie/video game/novel in the worst way possible”, it shows how easy it is to make any concept seem like the ...
The Need To Denigrate
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 17, 2018
Lately there has been this pattern that I've noticed in both social media and mainstream comics/cartoons outlets that is very saddening: the use of denigration and belittlement as a promotional tactic, or as an argument.
More and more I seem to notice that new series, reboots, retellings or ...
