Back in Spring 2021, I created a 12 page comic for Cartooning class back in college where I then took that student comic, and posted it on Twitter on June 12th that same year to coincide the then-40th anniversary of the first Indiana Jones film, Raiders of The Lost Ark. #CartoonOCs, #Comics.

Good. Now all there's left to do is to make sure the Netflix merger gets blocked too. I know they said they'll continue to let WB do theatrical releases, and that they're won't be any redundancies, but you never know what could happen once they DO get their hands on it.
#NoMoreMergers, #DontSellWB.
Warner Bros. Discovery is planning to reject Paramount Skydance's $108 BILLION
hostile takeover bid, Bloomberg reports.

The board views its $83B deal with Netflix as superior, offering better overall value, greater certainty, and stronger terms for shareholders.

In case you need a little light to brighten your day as we all mourn the tragic loss of Rob Reiner, today's the 25th anniversary of Disney's funniest animated feature yet, The Emperor's New Groove. It's worth checking out again if you want something to give you a smile during a time like this.

"Why must the good die young?!"

As someone who grew up watching "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron" almost every day as a kid, the death of voice actor Jeff Garcia felt like a stab to the heart.

I used to back when I was younger. My grandparents always made a week out of vacation spots. We always went to three annually:

- Busch Gardens Williamsburg (beautiful Euro-themed park)
- Kings Dominion (fun times with Hanna-Barbera characters)
- Trimper Rides in Ocean City, MD (classic boardwalk)

The following is a statement from the WGA on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

I feel like Samples and Ouweleen's approach to CN gave off a "how do you do, fellow kids" vibe, and even as a Gen Z kid in the 2000's, it felt weird to me, because it would've been better off if they just stuck to being the cartoon equivalent to TCM that happens to also feature newer cartoons.
The guy called Billy and Mandy a “hateful fart cartoon” that damaged CN’s reputation, was an executive producer on ReAnimated, and apparently co created CN Real.

And now he’s in charge of the network. Joy.
Apparently they revealed that Stuart Snyder didn't created CN Real and was a Jim Samples and Michael Ouweleen choice to compete with Disney and Nick.

And that Snyder actualy liked Toonami but had to kill it for new shows and championed the Toonami return at Adult Swim.

I'd say avoid Pluto TV at this point since they're straight-up Skydance.

If you have a Roku device, there's always The Roku Channel and its live channel guide.

And if you could muster dealing with Amazon, Prime Video Channels has hundreds of channels at your disposal for free.

Warner Bros. is facing an uncertain future and Skydance is really looking at buying the company even in a hostile takeover. WB is viewing a sale as an option but a split is preferable. We have to show that Skydance is no way a potential partner for WB.

Your cable package might have your preferred streaming service for free.

There are also Pluto, Freevee and Tubi to binge any of your favorites for free.

If you have MeTV or MeTV Toons on cable or over the air, you are in luck.

Anything TV should be accessible. Plain and simple.

21st Century Fox being bought marked the death of a major movie studio. We can’t let this happen again. Skydance cannot buy WBD. Any chance of a hostile takeover is bound to happen unless we raise our voices and concerns.

The latest news will show why the Ellisons should not merge/consolidate WBD impacting all things at WB, New Line, DC, WBP Animation, WBTV, and WB Animation.

Keep urging Zaslav, the board and investors to make sure WBD is not for sale and should continue to split. Either Apple or Amazon post split.

Just a reminder again to please urge Zaslav and the board to #DontSellWB.

A split in mid 2026 is the best long term option. Apple or Amazon will see more valuable and WB itself will have less impact rather than a Comcast, Skydance or Netflix hostile takeover.
