you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection
Henry Gilbert (Beloved Podcast Personality)@talkinghenry.bsky.social · 5d agoSkydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

the first cartoonist to have work in the international was kerry james marshall in 1999. marhsall was in the same space as scott! when it was "the treasure room," which made his newspaper-over-the-windows a multifaceted cultural statement about comics. closer to comics as art, but still repurposed
arpad okay@arpadokay.bsky.social · last wk.no one was looking so they let a cartoonist into the museum. there's an installation and a sculpture, an absurd amount of meta in wendy's big moment, a shirt (commodified!) and a poster (prestigious!) for the international, but what was weirdly absent was comics
Peter Browngardt, the creator of Uncle Grandpa and writer/director of The Day the Earth Blew Up has a new post worth sharing here since he doesn’t have a Bluesky account:

this is old news but it strikes me again that you used to be able to trust Google to know what reliable sources to put at the top of a query, and now when you ask it a banal factual question the first responses are AI garbo that needs to be verified independently and links to unrelated substacks

Retro Blast 👻@retroblastpod.com · last wk.Nintendo Wii is 20 years old next month And I kinda feel like Wii was to many gamers what NES was to me—Basically a cultural phenomenon that ended up in most households. And for a lot of you, the Wii was where you fell in love with gaming as a kid, right? So.. how do you feel about Wii turning 20?

from earlier this week: my first comic in a long while, a short review of the comic strip MAFALDA, inspired by the precarious position of its new english translation print edition
