Accessorize our masculinity in helpful ways? Barbie reminds Men: You Ken Do It! 
Thoughts on how us Mens and Kens can process all the complicated feels after having watched the movie. He was usually more jovial and playful, but the brother of my girlfriend at the time had a very different energy responding to my comment. It was 2006 and we were visiting his home, openly hidden in a rural area far from the city. His 4 year old son was excitedly playing with a large G.I. Joe.…

Aspen in Chapter 10 when the only fresh fruit they can eat on this goddamn lonely spaceship is lemons. When they’re allergic to citrus.

I’d be interested to hear any classic cartoon recommendations outside of Warner/Fleischer/MGM/Disney— nothing against those studios, and I’ve been enjoying and looking forward to your Warner reviews lately.
GOOD QUESTION, and THANK YOU!! i wish i could give a more interesting answer—i haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and actually watch cartoons outside of reviews, and the ones i do watch tend to be from those studios, so a lot of these may be from hazy recollections BUT!
predictable of the crazy bird lover to recommend him, BUT i’d definitely give the Woody Woodpecker cartoons a go, particularly any directed by Shamus Culhane. The Barber of Seville is a classic, Who’s Comin’ Who, Ski for Two… i’m a big fan of the earliest shorts with Mel Blanc such as Knock Knock or The Screwdriver too. and if you haven’t seen any of Tex Avery’s Walter Lantz shorts (Crazy Mixed-Up Pup, Legend of Rock-a-bye Point, Shh-h-h-h-h) do yourself a favor and watch them
i’m fond of the Gandy and Sourpuss cartoons over at Terrytoons, but it’s been so long since i’ve seen one and i’ve hardly seen any that i couldn’t really give a solid recommendation… TT also has Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle, which are worth checking out, but again, sadly could not give a solid recommendation because i’ve seen so little and it’s been a few years :(
Screen Gems i think is unanimously accepted as one of the weakest golden age studios, but sometimes some of them are so absurd they’re worth watching. there are a few gems in the Fox and Crow series—The Fox and the Grapes is directed by Frank Tashlin which is an INSTANT seal of quality. has Mel Blanc as both characters too, and it’s about the closest SG gets to being adjacent to Warners—The Magic Fluke, produced by UPA, is fantastic too. (and on the topic of UPA, i implore you to watch Rooty Toot Toot if you haven’t.)
the Herman and Katnip series at Famous Studios is 100% a guilty pleasure of mine. they were a primary inspiration behind The Simpsons’ own Itchy and Scratchy, so that should tell you enough—there’s something so captivating about the sheer discomfort the shorts radiate that it immediately hooked me in. again, have only seen very few and aim to change that, but a few i enjoy off the top of my head would be Mice Meeting You and Mice-Capades
hmmmmm… i can’t think of many Van Beuren shorts to recommend, but the Tom and Jerry series (the humans) are fun. again, have seen very little and it’s been quite awhile so i don’t have many recommendations off the top of my head, but Hook and Ladder Hokum is a fun one directed by Frank Tashlin. Rough on Rats is another VB short that is one of the most delightfully twisted cartoons i’ve ever seen (thank you, Devon!) and would like to impart that on others
I KNOW MUCH OF THIS IS VAGUE and there’s so many more i could give and am probably ignorant to… i recently stumbled upon a stop motion short by Frank Tashlin that has Warner DNA all over it, and Bob Clampett’s one shot at Republic makes for a very fun watch too. there are so many cartoons out there and so many i have yet to discover myself, but i hope this is a start!

International Firefighters’ Day
Firefighters put their lives on the line every day to save our lives, loved ones, homes, and even forests and cities, so give them the thanks they deserve.
The role of a firefighter in today’s society–be it urban, rural, natural environment, volunteer, career, industrial, defense force, aviation, motorsport, or other is one of dedication, commitment, and sacrifice–no matter what country we reside and work in. In the fire service, we fight together against one common enemy–fire–no matter what country we come from, what uniform we wear or what language we speak. -  LT JJ Edmondson, firefighter, and creator of Firefighters Day
Nobody could have put what it means to be a firefighter as well as this courageous woman did. Most of us would risk our lives for those we love—family members, friends, pets. But could you imagine risking severe injury or even death for someone whom you don’t know at all? Could you imagine going into a burning building to rescue a stranger, knowing you may not come out?
Could you imagine climbing a tree in a burning forest just to save a defenseless animal too frightened to come down on its own? These are things firefighters do every day, and though we likely see them as acts of pure heroism, for firefighters, they’re just part of the job. Few people deserve to be celebrated as much as these heroic men and women do, so let’s all make sure to celebrate Firefighters Day in their honor!
History of International Firefighters’ Day
The first organized professionals whose job it was to combat structural fires lived in Ancient Egypt–however, at the time, firefighters worked for private companies that provided their services only to those who could afford them. Later, in Ancient Rome, Ceasar Augustus revolutionized firefighting by calling for the creation of a fire guard, called the Vigiles, that was trained, paid, and equipped by the state.
Firefighters Day was created in 1999 after 5 firefighters died tragically during a wildfire in Australia when the direction of the wind changed suddenly and engulfed them in flames. It is celebrated on May 4th because that is Saint Florian’s day, and Saint Florian, who was said to be one of the first commanding firefighters of an actual Roman battalion and saved many lives, is the patron saint of firefighters.
The incident that led to the creation of this date happened on the 2nd of December, 1998, in Linton Community, Australia. The event was so tragic that it shook the entire world. Linton is a populated area in Victoria, Australia, and firefighters at the time were tackling a massive bush fire. They called for mutual aid. This resulted in the Geelong West Fre Brigade coming to the scene. They did not know the tragedy and despair that was awaiting them.
Matthew Armstrong, Jason Thomas, Stuart Davidson, Chris Evans, and Garry Vredeveldt all loaded into a truck. They were sent to help extinguish the flames as part of a strike team. However, as they made their way into the hot zone, the wind switched direction suddenly, which resulted in the truck being engulfed in flames, with all five members losing their lives. It was an extremely tragic event, and it resulted in the birth of a day to celebrate firefighters and everything they do for us. After all many other firefighters have lost their lives in the field.
The symbol of International Firefighters’ Day
The International Firefighters’ Day has a significant symbol associated with it, and this is the blue and red ribbon. The ribbon is cut precisely to one cm in width and five cm in length, with the two different colors join at the top. Blue and red were selected by JJ Edmondson because of the symbolization associated with the colors. Blue is designed to represent water whereas the red represents fire. Not only this, but the two colors are also recognized around the world as a symbol for the emergency services. Therefore, it was decided that there was no better color choice!
The ribbon is typically worn on the fold of the fabric on a shirt, i.e. the lapel. However, it is not restricted to a certain spot. You can wear it wherever you feel appropriate, be it a different part of your shirt or your cap, for example. A lot of people also place them from their car mirrors or windows, as well as the trees in their garden. No matter whether you decide to place these ribbons, they represent a simple yet effective way of showing your support for firefighters all around the world.
How to celebrate International Firefighters’ Day
There are many great ways to celebrate firefighters on this day. Most of all, this day is about showing our appreciation for their service, risks, and sacrifice, so find a way to make sure your local firefighters know how much you value them! As always, it’s the thought that counts and small gestures go a long way, so even bringing a cake down to the fire hall would be a nice thing to do. You could also consider donating money to one of the many firefighter charities out there, some of which help firefighters injured in the line of duty get the medical treatment they need and return to health.
Other firefighter charities help retired firefighters live comfortable lives after years of risks they took for others. You can also raise awareness about the dangers firefighters bravely face every day by wearing a red and blue ribbon—the colors of water and fire, respectively. There are also a lot of different craft projects that you can enjoy on Firefighters Day that are based on the symbol of the day. Wearing a ribbon, baking a cake or donating a few dollars to a charity may not seem like particularly impressive gestures to you, but they will likely mean the world to those who work tirelessly for their communities.
You could also use this time to educate yourself about some of the heroic acts of firefighters, whether in your area or around the world. All you need to do is a quick search on the Internet and you will be able to read about some amazing heroic firefighter stories. This includes heroes who have risked their lives to save newborn babies from burning buildings, as well as the firefighters who have been involved in high-profile incidents that have happened around the world, with the tragic Grenfell Tower fire and the Australian bush fires being two of the most recent tragedies. Pay tribute to the amazing firefighters as well as those who have tragically lost their lives.
Show the firefighters of the world a little gratitude and celebrate Firefighters Day with us!
