You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a perennial favorite for the holidays, and it’s obviously ripe for parody. Which brings me to this lovely skit by Wizards with Guns, which reimagined the classic song with the help of Joel Haver and Trent Lenkarski. I’ve been really into Haver’s work over the past few months, and he’s great in this — as is the whole rude sketch.
Yeah, language and crudeness abound in this sketch, so consider yourself warned.
I may have to spend the new year getting into Wizards with Guns. Because this is some funny writing.

OnlyLeigh is Alive!
OnlyLeigh is a web cartoonist I really like, but she’s been pretty silent on the creative front for a couple of years now. I get it. Life happens. Well she just came out with a new cartoon and you best believe I’m gonna share it with all you fine folks.
There is much I don’t know about the creative world. I’m a writer, and we’ve had word processing software for a millennia now. So I don’t understand art. Thankfully, we’ve got tutorials like this one to help us all creative better cartoons! Welcome back, OnlyLeigh. Here’s hoping for more cartoons ahead!

There’s Gonna Be More Vox Machina!
I am not a Critical Role junkie, but I am very familiar with their work and really enjoyed the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina. So hoorays all around for the fact that we’re going to get a second season already! Sometimes it feels like years between TV seasons these days. But these animation boys and girls have whipped this one together for the new year!
Looks like fun! Personally, I think I’m a bigger fan of the Mighty Nein, and I hope we get to see them in animation someday. But The Legend of Vox Machina is good enough for this weary, old, cartoon-loving soul.
Check out the new season on Amazon Prime in January.

Let’s Go Across the Spider-Verse!
This trailer came out a couple of days ago, but I’ve been having an off week. Just not feeling it. But hey, at least this trailer is pretty cool. We get a big, fun look at a Spider-Verse full of Spider-People! That counts for a lot.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a hugely anticipated movie, by me and pretty much everybody else. Can it live up to the excitement of the first film? You’re damn right it can, and I really hope it does! I want a sequel that’s bigger and better! I know it can be done! We don’t have much on the story yet, or any really stand out new characters — and no sign of the Spot. But i know this one is gonna be a banger!
Across the Spider-Verse comes out in June.

How About an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Cartoon?
It’s Monday morning. It snowed a ton over the weekend and I’m dreading having to go out and wiping down my car to get to work. Man. What the heck? So let’s keep things simple and easy this morning by sharing an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit the cartoon. It’s the first Disney-produced Oswald cartoon in, like, 95 years. So that’s something!
Pretty fun. Some old school, old timey cartooning to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary. I’m down for that sort of thing. The story of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is a pretty fun one. And I think he makes for a really neat character in the modern day context of Disney. So bring on more Oswald stuff!
