I thoroughly enjoyed your essay in the anthology Animated Mischief. Your in-depth analysis of The Powerpuff Girls highlights its groundbreaking impact on television animation and the superhero genre. Your writing is brilliant and captures the show's creative and technical brilliance.
Thanks for this in-depth analysis of the cartoon and animation world. I loved watching PPGs and Dexter's Lab, but never considered them from the aspect of the superhero genre. I just thought that they were brilliant and so much more enjoyable than Mickey Mouse or Woody woodpecker and Chilli Willy. I couldn't relate to Atom Ant even though I liked the cartoon, but PPGs had characters that many of us girls could relate to. After reading your essay, it seems like PPGs were a sort of trailblazer for girl superheroes.
It also seems like there was more going on in the creation of these cartoon characters. They were cute yet badass. I hope they don't go woke like Scooby-Doo' Whelma.

Fantastic read. PPG felt so timeless to me as a kid, but I now see the intricacies that made it trailblazing.
Well-written and thought-provoking read!
Looking forward to reading this. Have to save it for later.
