From the creator of Home Movies comes a new animated show on Fox . Bob's Burgers will be about a guy (Bob) who runs a burger grill at an East Coast seaside town with his "tightly wound wife and three unhelpful kids". Fox is obviously returning to form with another animated family comedy, as if their entire Sunday night line-up weren't enough. I yearn for animated shows that dare to be a...

But when graphic novels are used to illuminate history (as with Maus, Persepolis, or Larry Gonik’s Cartoon History of the World series), I can be lured in.

Although Adult Swim broadcasts new and classic anime on selected nights, their original programming is what makes the program block stand out. Beginning in 2001, Adult Swim officially launched with...

Zack at The New Gay has nicely compiled a list of the queerest cartoon characters you didn't know about. Well, maybe you know about some of them, but he left total obvos like He-Man, Skeletor and the hot daddy/twink couple of Lion-o/Panthro off the list.

John McElwee waxes nostalgic about collecting 8mm home movies and Flip The Frog on his Greenbriar Picture Shows blog.

That said, [...]
