Personal news today! It's been over 20 years since my last tattoo. Working for Bento Box has been such a turning point in my career that I wanted to memorialize it. I couldn't be happier with Joe Murphy's work at Nerdy Visions Gallery. If you're looking for a phenomenal tattoo in the NE area, I highly recommend Joe.
I AM SO MAD about people always shitting on adult animation series. Like literally SHUT UP about how adult animations have “zero representation” and “lack diversity” when there are SO MANY adult animated series that have all the things you’re looking for
Like bro just do some research and look harder
Obviously my bias is Bob’s Burgers so let’s start with that as an example: SO MUCH diversity (body types, implied neurodivergence, etc) and representation in this show and the fan base is so minimal?? Like what??
Not to mention Tuca and Bertie, Futurama, Bojack Horseman, etc etc etc
(Inside Job, Disenchantment, THE GREAT NORTH, The Midnight Gospel, Human Resources, and sooooo many more)
Everyone is CONSTANTLY complaining about the lack of good adult animated shows but then never give most of these ones the time of day. I genuinely don’t get it! If you’re so mad about how crass and bigoted all the mainstream shows are, why are you still watching them? There are so many amazing adult animated series that are so diverse and representative of so many different communities more and half of them get canceled because all the internet talks about are the big TV shows like Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons, etc (not dissing anyone who likes these shows btw, I am an occasional watcher myself)
How about we stop complaining about the lack of diversity in adult animation and actually watch the shows that are giving us what we want?
I’m not at all saying that all these that I mentioned are without flaws. They all have them! But what I AM saying is that maybe we should stop letting networks cancel the shows with what we are asking for because they aren’t getting any traction.
Let’s not insult an ENTIRE GENRE of television series just because the mainstream ones aren’t necessarily what we want anymore.
And let’s talk about the animation styles. STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW UGLY THEY ARE. Yeah, I get it, they’re not always the prettiest but the diversity of body types and races in shows like Bob’s Burgers etc is amazing. Like holy crap it frustrates me when people file down all the good aspects of TV shows just because they sometimes have weird animations. Like please, remember that art in and of itself is diverse and there are so many talented people that are putting so much work into creating these literal masterpieces
The point I’m trying to make is, maybe stop giving shows like Big Mouth so much attention (even if it’s negative) and watch the ones that are literally giving you what you want. Like guys, stop letting networks cancel great series just because you prefer to complain about the “bad things” and refuse to acknowledge the good ones
The show The Great North absolutely deserves to get as big as Bob's Burgers (it's made by the same team too!) I literally love it SO SO MUCH (just as much as Bob) and it kinda sucks to see it still be so far under the radar tbh.
It has all of the same heart, soul, and humor that Bob's Burgers has; but in it's own distinct way of storytelling with it's original characters and setting! While being a super similar enough vibe, it still stands apart from Bob's Burgers and can be enjoyed separately as it's own show! (But like, in a way where it could still work perfectly if there was ever a crossover! I HOPE WE GET THAT ONE DAY)
If you like literally ANYTHING about Bob's Burgers and haven't given Great North a solid chance yet, DO IT!
If you're looking for a cartoon that's still for a more mature audience but doesn't rely on anything adjacent to a Family Guy or South Park style of humor, Great North is a good place to start!
If you're looking for a new show to watch in general, give Great North a shot! At worst you might be a little bored, but at best you might have a new favorite to add to the list! :]
Strong Bad: So it's a silly contest with a meaningless prize, but we all care an insane amount about it?
Coach Z: You just described all of sports, every competitive realerty show, and life itself. But, that said, yes.
January 9: Happy 69th Birthday to Academy Award Winning Actor J.K. Simmons, who provided the voices of the twin brother of Stanley, granduncle of Dipper & Mabel, and Author of the Journals as Stanford Pines on Gravity Falls; former local Alaskan celebrity and ally to the Tobin family as Tusk Johnson on The Great North; and son of both Aang & Katara, brother of Kya & Bumi, and Airbending mentor to Korra as the Avatar (LOK) character of Tenzin.
I love that The Great North doesn’t do a “bumbling dad doesn’t know how to handle/tell his kids he loves them” trope but instead all of the Tobins are just a little bit insane
