The cartoon blog of Andertoons cartoonist Mark Anderson. He discusses his cartoons, cartooning, comics and, oddly enough, LEGO.

I was a little worried that Heroes was petering out here mid-season, but after watching the first episode of the new year… Oh baby!
BTW, if you’re watching, did you notice the cheerleader’s dad’s business card? It points to this site.
If you call and press three for job opportunities, it gives you a code to enter to “apply” for a job there.
I did it and got an email back:
Thank you for your interest in Primatech Paper. We will be in contact once we evaluate your application.
Curious to see what happens next…
(BTW, is that logo spot on or what?!)

So Ghost Rider comes out in a few weeks, and they’re really ramping up the ad campaign.
In addition to the Jackson Hewitt ad where he gets his taxes done and sets off the sprinklers (it was up on YouTube but now it’s down), Sony has a page on their site where you can use your webcam to insert your face and see yourself as Ghost Rider, AKA with your head on fire.
I tried it for about a half hour this morning with my Mac and its built in iSight, but this must be one of those “95% of people use Internet Explorer so just build it for that and screw everyone else” sites. Yes, I tried Firefox too. Grrrr….!
I guess I’ll just have to light my head on fire the old fashioned way later.
Anyway, here’s the link if you wanna try it…

OK, the first Fantastic Four movie stunk, so I’m only mildly interested in the sequel, but you gotta admit, this Silver Surfer stuff looks pretty nice:

Yep, more folks hate my Magoo review:
Mr. MGoo’s Christmas Carol is possibly my favorite Christmas special. The music is wonderful. It is short and comedic but takes the story seriously. No, it is not a Duck Soup comedy but what is? And why would one want to ruin the depth that was in the original short story?
I do love the Alistair Simms’ 1951 version but I love this in a differing manner. I am sorry that someone who has the same last name as myself does not like this work of art but do not assume his personal tastes are yours. This is a wonderful interpretation of The Christmas Carol.
I bought the DVD last year and cannot wait to watch it again this year. I would also believe that this would make a wonderful introduction to the story for young children. Yet I am an adult of almost 56 and I still love it. I cannot wait to have grandchildren and introduce them to it.
He actually laments sharing my last name. He wrote back again:
My wife and I just watched it again. It is true that the art work is simple but so it Charlie Christmas. But beyond that it is wonderful. The music was written by the team that wrote “Funny Girl.” I particularly like the humorous ones such as the Razzleberry Dressing one, the one that the undertaker , the maid etc sing. But the song that is first sung by the young Ebineezer is very touching. The weakest song is the one that Belle sings. It is too smaltzy. But I still love this very much. I also like that it appears that Gerald McBoingBoing made his first serious appearance in the part as Tiny Tim. That is nastalgia but I loved Gerald!
Wait a minute…
The weakest song is the one that Belle sings. It is too smaltzy.
GASP!
How DARE you sir!
Here’s another:
I guess my only comment would be: why review this program in the first place? It’s been around since the early 1960’s, has had hundreds of TV airings, sold thousands upon thousands of DVD’s (it’s actually in it’s THIRD pressing!). The show is beloved by millions and has a cast of legendary voices not to mention boasting a score by TWO broadway legends. But in 2004, a cartoonist decides to write a smarmy review hurling brickbats at a classic. The show has proven itself and you should find somthing better to do with your time.
I’m gonna crawl into a bottle of egg nog and just cry myself to sleep…
