Animation-related (because you might not read the comics thread): Bee and Puppycat comic book next week: [link]
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Bee and Puppycat comic book next week
Cool!
I feel disloyal to Rebecca Sugar, but I'm way more into Bee and Puppycat than I've been into Steven Universe.
I am enjoying Steven Universe but Bee and Puppycat has that extra bit of pizzazz.
Speaking of which, I've been digging the new season of Adventure Time even as poor Finn suffers poor parenthood and mayhem.
Last season wasn't just strong, but really took a lot of narrative chances. That whole Lemonhope two-parter at the end was so sad and epic and strange. A rather dark and philosophical journey ("Nightmares again. That's freedom for you, I guess.")
Psyched that Bob's Burgers Season 3 is up on Netflix, so I've been watching that and S4 as it comes up on Hulu.
I think it was Entertainment Weekly that had a piece on the ten funniest shows on TV recently, and had both Archer and Bob's Burgers on there.
Anybody watching Dan Harmon's cartoon? Morty something?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've heard Rick and Morty is fantastic. My friend Dan keeps trying to get me to watch it, and FilmCritHulk wrote a whole post about how it's the best show on television.

Rick and Morty is definitely worth seeking out.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I find Rick and Morty to be very strange but interesting. I'm not completely caught up on all of the episodes.
Is anyone watching The Boondocks this season? I think I read it was the final season.

Oh! We have S1 of Archer from the library waiting for us to have time to watch it! (I should have waited until after all the season finales next week. Oh well. We'll get it watched. Because after next week, we got nuthin'.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been watching Rick and Morty and I'm not sure how I feel about it. There are things I really like about it, but it remains a bit off-putting.

There's just the one episode of B&P, right?
I'm trying to like Steven Universe, too, but the title character just grates on me.

I still have a grievance with the changes in character design from the pilot.
I do love the 60s anime design, and the beach town setting is great. And it is set up for some rich emotional storylines, but it just hasn't made much of it yet.
