You're wading in a world of fun and laughter!

Where nothing really ever is exactly
What it seems!

Surprises are a commonplace occurrence! 
Astonishments electrify the air!
There's tingle-lingle-jingle of delightment!
Everywhere!

Animation, comics, and cartoons have had a vast impact on me from my youngest days. From Sunday newspaper comic strips, to the old theatrical cartoons and cartoons on television, to the works of Miyazaki and other foreign films & shorts from around the world, to the abstract, different forms of animation (stop-motion, cutout, claymation, etc.), to the obscure, these characters are classics, famous or otherwise, and have influenced me just as much as any Disney character or superhero. The vast array of styles displayed here is a site to behold and I hope I did them all justice to their creators!
