Oh, hey. Sorry I'm late.
See, I live a bit of a sheltered life. I rarely watch TV, I don't download trailers for movies, and I don't go to movies to see said trailers. So I consider myself lucky that I wasn't attacked with an ungodly obsession to download the trailers for each Matrix and LotR movie, I don't see commercials blasted at me from here to eternity, and, most lucky of all it seems, I haven't seen the trailer for this upcoming abomination. Makes me feel good inside. :-)
I don't see why they feel every cartoon or comic book has to be made into a real-life mockery of itself. I'm certain Theodore Giesel is rolling over in his grave over The Grinch and The Cat In The Hat. George of the Jungle, anyone? You mention the Flintstones in your comic (I'm getting to that in a sec), another good example. Thank God they haven't tried the Jetsons yet. Why do they HAVE to try to make it look real? Part of cartoons and comics is the ability to ESCAPE real life for a while. Not to CG the dignity out of real life to make it match. It's sad, really.
I'm wondering if what Hollywood's really trying to tell us is that most folk have lost any concept of imagination and need everything dealt to them in real-life terms. Which, honestly, I think is true...
But enough of that nonsense, it's another impressive comic from ya, Batty. You said just about all I wanted to in the first place. :-)
