I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Samurai Jack was a great cartoon. I also miss it.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I actually developed a little crush on Samurai Jack.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Because HE'S AWESOME!

There was actually a fucking hilarious episode of Duck Dodgers where Daffy Duck Dodgers ate some fugu sushi that was just on the edge and it made him hallucinate, and the whole episode was Duck-Dodgers-as-Samurai-Jack. I loved when Cartoon Network's shows would do that to each other.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I always enjoyed the episode of Arthur where the characters were telling stories, and they were done with the animation style of South Park and Dr. Katz and something else. I love when kids' shows throw in jokes for the older folk.

Oh man, that is some kind of genius there.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks, Tom!

That was, in fact, sheer genius.

I forgot how good that was. "You're lucky I didn't cut you to ribbons!" "Not with a Y-7 rating, you won't."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Marvel expands the Astonishing line.

What's also astounishing is how bad the X-Men art is. What the hell is up with those anatomies? And Storm's costume.

Win for her hair, though. I really like her look from the head up.
