Bubs looks adorable dressed as Kuromi fr. Makes me wish for an official Sanrio/PPG collab (if there hasn’t been one already)

Last PPG post for now, but I went to the mall and they had this claw machine venue. I don’t think I missed out on much…

Amen to all of this, especially the fifth point. It’s infuriating to see the CN library being mishandled by Max in such a negligent way, and the fact that so many shows bounce from service to service for such limited durations. They deserve better. These shows should be accessible, not the other way around but I digress.

I do have an additional and equally rambly point I personally believe in: the general visual identity of Cartoon Network was far more important to modern art and animation than we think. A lot of CN shows carried over the UPA style - simple shapes making diverse and complex character and background designs, all the way from Powerpuffs to Craig of the Creek, practically every last of those CN shows I felt had more influence over how modern cartoons look now.

Say what you will, but that visual identity has to be carried over for future generations. If there’s artists and cartoonists that use 90s era themes in their work - I’ve seen one artist that used PS1-era polygons for their character designs - and try as much as I can to replicate that 90s era Cartoon Network aesthetic, then there’s something worth believing in.

Hi all, I’m still here, I just haven’t been active because it hasn’t been a great time to be a fan of Cartoon Network. I’ll always be a believer, though, and I believe that

The Cartoon Network name will live on, even if its franchises are scrapped for parts

We need leadership who believe in CN and don’t push [adult swim] first

Checkered Past is a good idea and a good use of the schedule, although it needs some alterations. For one thing, it should be a part of the CN lineup, which shouldn’t have to close shop at 5.

MeTV Toons is good and a welcome home for classic cartoon fans, but it’s no substitute for CN. It was never meant to be and hopefully never will be.

The CN library deserves a stable streaming home. If not Max, so be it. Let Hulu or someone else take on the shows.

We need more good, winning original animated series. I didn’t particularly care for Invincible Fight Girl, but it’s a step in the right direction. Hoping Iyanu is closer.
