All Things To All People
[Purchase Book] It seems to me that MTV did exactly two things right: Music videos and animation. Sadly, they don’t seem to do either anymore. Hell, Cartoon Network’s even stepping away from showing all animation. (I heard that the new head of…
[Purchase Book] It’s time for Full Disclosure Day on Kittysneezes! Not only do I know Joe Meyer, the artist/writer of In The Meantime, but he’s also contributed the awesome interview with C.H. Greenblatt, the creator of Chowder. So, yeah — I’m not…
