absolutely on the herc/good idea thing. though it helps, again, if you're not lazy. ha
you can go a lot of places with herc humor, but then again, that's where the show was derived (deprived?)
spongebob, i noticed, introduced a lot of quirky humor that i see mirrored in cartoons like fairly oddparents. i don't know. maybe it's just the whole lot of nicktoons altogether. maybe i should blame those damned fairies. haha. anyway, i DO agree on the fact that if anime hadnt become as commercialized in america as it is now, american cartoons wouldn't have taken a turn for the worse. though i'd take commercialization of anime over influence of anime ANY day. ANNNNYYY day. i'm still kicking myself for being obsessed with it when i was ....what, 13?
i have done new art... not necessarily new fanart, though it depends on what you've seen and haven't seen. http://kyria.deviantart.com
i'm sorry about all that. at least you get to save money with gil. and youre lucky she's not throwing a fit over staying at college. you are truly blessed with your kin.
if someone does come back to pick up the torch, you'd better hope he or she isnt a tracer :P
