“Oh, you are totally underestimating the never-say-die scrappiness of a survivor.”

Loathing LOL catz has turned into a national pastime just as much as loving them, but, like all things, it’s hard to hate them all. So when a friend sent me a collection them via email, I hissed in excitement that there were two that made me LOL. One was a Star Wars reference, the other a cartoon.

Why? Because of the fantastic 1936 Merrie Melodies short “I Love To Singa” directed by the great Tex Avery. Yes, the caption is wrong, but it still made me laugha with a gigga and a snigga and a gaffe-a. It made me laugha. Here is the original short:

No, with delight, silly. Regular readers will know my absolute love for the animation series “The Venture Bros.” that runs on Cartoon Network’s [adult swim]. From little things like a review to watching it with Cameron on date nights to dressing up like Hank Venture for Halloween, one can postulate that I’m a big fan of the show. Actually, here’s the proof of my fandom: I’m having a party for the premiere of the third season at my place at midnight June 2.

Yes! People have said they are attending! Hmmph.

For some lucky few fans that attended New York Comic-Con, the viewing of a teaser trailer must have been geekgasmic. I know watching it at work… alone… with the lights off had me reaching for the tissues. What? I was crying because I was so happy to see proof of Season Three. Quick Stop Entertainment did fans a great service by posting the trailer yesterday. Watch it even if you aren’t familiar with the show as they chose scenes that are generic enough to appeal to many and then watch the show. It’s expertly written and is probably the best geek comedy on television right now.

It’s been a long time since there has been a post in this series. Cartoon Network is having what I hope is a continuing new series of cross-over cartoons. The debut was a cross between “Codename: Kids Next Door” and “The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy” called — of course — “The Grim Adventures Of The KND”. You can imagine how closely I came to spitting out my wine when Billy screamed this:

Hey! Who’s shooting bones at my butt?!

You know the writers are still laughing at slipping that one in.
