Adventure Time: Holy Crap, Madéleine Flores is talented. That was her very first storyboard! And she has a full-time gig on Bee and Puppycat!
You can see a lot of the same storytelling rhythms in her comic here.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Oooh, I haven't seen it yet. Love Bee and Puppycat. Excited!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
That was a nice one.

Is it just me, or is this season of Korra really slashy?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I hadn't noticed, though I'm not really slash-inclined.
I'm glad we're getting to know more about Lin this season, even if so far all she's really done is be grumpy and yell a lot, which was all she really did last season.
Though if they fixed Bolin this season, I trust they'll give Lin more to do, too.
Also, two different dads. I wonder how many fans immediately thought "Sokka and Zuko".
ETA: Though I suppose the soap opera storyline would be that Aang had an affair with Toph, resulting in Sue, which Tenzin later found out about, which is why he broke up with Lin (because dating his half-sisters half-sister would be too weird) which is why Lin hates Sue, even if it wouldn't be her fault. (And would explain Opal being an Airbender.)
Of course, I wouldn't want the show to go there, and highly doubt they would.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
TOPH IS ALIVE CAN WE PLEASE SEE TOPH.
This season is great so far, oh man. Some fantastic bending battles. Cannot wait to see Korra take on the Fearsome Foursome.

One thing I just realized, this is a kid's show on Nickelodeon and they just totally threw out "Yeah, Toph had children via two different men (and presumably never married, since Lin's family name is still Bei Fong)" and it wasn't regarded as a big deal.
I remember Greg Weisman mentioning that on Young Justice Red Arrow and Jade had to get married off-screen during the time skip or else Cartoon Network wasn't going to let them do the Lian storyline.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Where can one find the new season of Korra? It doesn't seem to be on the Nickelodean website.

They're holding back new episodes another week or two.
