New video: Chill with some early 2000s commercials. I recorded this from Cartoon Network on the family VCR back in 2002. These commercials are almost 25 years old. I included the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays bumpers. #oldCommercials #commercials #CartoonNetwork youtu.be/b0fG-ucMcfY

This is the art for my latest postcard: The Spider Woman by Fernand Khnopff. In an earlier post, @moderation.bsky.app tagged this art as "Adult Content." Maybe it picked up on the word "nude" in the alt text? I have a very hard time imagining anyone being offended by this. It's Art, capital "A".

For me, it was The Pagemaster. My parents told me that when the kid gets turned into a cartoon at the beginning, I became inconsolable. They had to take me out back out to the theater lobby.
