: C'mon, someone had to do it sometime.
: 1. Fave comic based cartoon- X-Men.
: 2. Comics you bought as a kid- Essential X-Men, Sonic The Comic.
: 3. Fave non-comic based cartoon- Animaniacs
: 4. Fave kid's TV series- Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (UK Title. Go to www.cakeinmilk.com for Rob's interesting theory on this)
: 5. Current kid's phenomenon that baffles you- The success of Pokemon. and dance music is sh*t.
1. Simba (a Japanese anime cartoon when I lived in Okinawa)
2. House of Mystery, House of Secrets, Tales from the Crypt, Archie series, and yes...I bought several of those Classic Illustrated series, too, even "The Bible," which I think I have the first one of around here somewhere...
3. The Beatles
4. The Muppet Show (later, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and other Muppet-based programs - LOVE Jim Henson!)
5. Elmo's World. Okay, he's red, he's cute, but who can really stand him as much as they put that darned thing on television for these days? I mean, Kermit was around for a LONG TIME, and Rowlf for a long time, too, even starring on "The Jimmy Dean Show," but neither of them got half as much ...well, merchandising and publicity and fanatasism as Elmo does! Sheesh! Down with the weird little red monster and his world! (And apologies to those who like him...)
