Fact 8

I love cartoons. There’s something about hand-drawn animation that I find really appealing. I don’t have any problems with the newer Flash-animated or computer animated ones, but if I’ve got my choice between watching Pixar’s latest feature or watching Marvin try to destroy the Earth with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, I’ll pick Marvin every time.

My favorites are Futurama, The Simpsons, the old Looney Toons, and Tom & Jerry shorts. After all, there we wouldn’t have the awesomeness that is Itchy and Scratchy if it wasn’t for Tom & Jerry. Honestly, sometimes the only difference between Tom & Jerry and Itchy & Scratchy is the amount of blood - the level of violence that they both try to inflict on each other is pretty equal. (I’ll also add that if there’s ever a DVD collection of only the Itchy & Scratchy shorts, I’d pick that up in a heart beat.)
