I definitely took a screenshot of the New Yorker cartoon and shouted via text to my husband “I read her Substack! Her cats are in the New Yorker!!!😻” (also my cat may be a little jealous)

ok so admittedly i'm slow when concentrating too much and under pressure say on Jeopardy i couldn't even answer "a country to the north of Duluth" within the same time frame it took me just now to decipher your cartoon from the moment it hit in-box (and i was watching trailer for newest Steve Martin doc. if thats any excuse) until NOW but then,,,, i got it (i hope) and chuckled hard and am i right?: cats do NOT require anything but lasers to distract them, no hero's or any other damn thing they are existential, fickle and totally immune to our values hahah im probably wrong at least i got "what is Canada" !!!

Omg Janette and I love Marceline, but never knew about Rebecca Sugar. We actually haven't quite finished Adventure Time, because we don't want it to end. I think we're on the last season :X

We've also been meaning to check out Steven Universe, and now that I know who made it and how cool they are, we'll definitely dive in soon!

Also, Singles was amazing.

Also, congrats on another New Yorker cartoon!!

I HAD NO IDEA SINGLES WAS THEIR THESIS (i had also seen it when it came out and this pulled it from the deep caverns of my mind)

i do still watch animation perhaps as a from of longing for a career in it but alas.

Both of these shows were absolutely strong inspirations for me and i revel in any opportunity to relive the emotions they make me feel.

Everything Stays from the end of the original Adventure Time episodes makes me feel such a gut wrenching explosion of so many emotions in contemplating the way we exist. How do they do it!
