I could never whittle it down to one! My most favorite recent animated movie is Nimona. My most favorite recent animated series is The Dragon Prince. I grew up watching cartoons in the 1970s-1980s. However, early cable television relied a lot on cartoon archives and my partner is a huge animation fan, so I've seen a ton of stuff from earlier and later. And by earlier I mean things like "Gertie the Dinosaur."
Did/do you or a family member ever watch Saturday morning cartoons? Do you have any fond memories of that?
Yes and yes. :D A favorite tradition. One of my favorites from that was Thundarr the Barbarian.
Do you have a favorite comic book or comic strip?
Again, I could never narrow it down, so among the favorites are Elfquest and Calvin and Hobbes.
If you were a cartoonist or comic book artist, what sort of comic or cartoon would you want to make? Would you want to create something new, or adapt something that already exists?
Something new. And I have one series, Schrodinger's Heroes, that occasionally spawns scripts instead of my usual fiction or poetry. I had to go out and buy some instruction books, which is how I discovered Scott McCloud's books. "Black and Blue in Waxahachie" was actually illustrated by someone else, but that version doesn't seem to be linked on the series site.
Have you ever seen or read any of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise? If so, do you have a favorite version or favorite character?
I've seen some of the 1980s cartoon. And trailers for a live-action movie later.
