I’m fascinated by what you’ve written here about several different topics-- I’m archiving this one to dig into later, because i’m pretty sure I’ll be borrowing from it in some essay down the line. Very nice piece.

'...television animation is often judged on a prejudicial basis, with people “assuming” they know what it is about...'

Yeah, this is very true in our society. Whenever we think about animation, many of us have pre-conceived notions about it. We don't see it as having much value and substance, compared to live-action content within the same genres.

That was a deep dive, David! It's interesting that animation has been a teaching tool for you. I never perceived those advantages in that way. My brother was a huge fan of 'The Simsons,' and even made a plywood cut out, painted and all! I've seen the outlet of humor as a helpful tool in recent years, as a counterpoint to the craziness in the culture! A great read David. Thanks for sharing!
