    What A Cartoon! - Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends "Bus the Two of Us"

    Chosen by premium patron ToonJay, we're doing another mid-'00s classic, this time one of the biggest hits on Cartoon Network that pushed digital animation forward on a TV budget. As we explore how Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust built Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, we dig into both of their careers and how Foster's changed them. Then, we dig into the season 4 ep about bus theft, lying, mattresses, and deep Star Wars references. Grab your correct change for the toll road and listen now!

    What A Cartoon! - The Kids in the Hall "Season 3, Episode 14"

    What A Cartoon! - The Kids in the Hall "Season 3, Episode 14"

    Welcome once again to live-action month on What A Cartoon, where YOU are the fool. (An April Fool, if you will...) In our sixth podcast about a live-action show that has very cartoony qualities, we're digging into the classic Canadian sketch comedy program, Kids in the Hall. This collection of maple-leaf misfits helped define alternative comedy in just five short years and a surprising amount of episodes. And, thanks to frequent Comedy Central reruns, their cult show gradually built up enough of a fanbase to go on regular tours, produce new shows, and even reboot their old series 25 years after the original run reached its natural conclusion. So sit back and recall your last average weekend as we explore this highly influential comedy series that both delighted and warped us throughout the '90s.

    What A Cartoon! - Invincible "It's About Time"

    Chosen by premium patron Andrew, we're covering the modern hit comic book adaptation, Invincible! Learn why it took almost 20 years for Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley's super series to get a cartoon, how it changed from page to screen, and more about how it pioneered in both style and format. Then hear us chat about the hourlong first episode (including the shocking twist) on a podcast that really is Invincible (imagine the title card just splashed on your screen)!

Isn’t this a show about cartoons?

These are two relentlessly hateful “progressives” whose deep-seated resentment against conservative White Christians somehow permeates every episode of this show which is ostensibly about humorous cartoons. Incessant assertions that Canada is better than the United States, whining about or policing White voice actors playing non-White roles, and telling you which celebrities are Good and Bad according to the moral spectrum of our hosts are regular features. They somehow manage to parrot the word “racist” multiple times in every show, similarly to how their Trump Derangement Syndrome (bizarre obsession with virtue signaling against Donald Trump) persists even into the year 2023. I hope they get the help they need.
