Gil by Norm Feuti for December 17, 2017

Uncle Grandpa is an actual show on Cartoon Network. Every time I look at it I think, “Just how high were the animators when they created the show?”

I WEEP for Gil’s generation……..

Honestly, UG is a breath of fresh air with a cartoon that just doesn’t take itself seriously and just has dumb fun with the premise, I can see why Gil enjoys it’s for sure not the best show around but far from the worst.

I don’t know “Uncle Grandpa.” I will look it up. But when I saw the face conjured by Gil I thought, “Don Martin. ‘MAD Magazine.’ Fifty years ago.” DM also was zany and illogical and one of my faves.

Silly is fun. Especially for kids.

Uncle Grandpa is great. Now Breadwinners, that’s a real mess.

I am as bad as anyone about the Good Old Days of Bugs and Road Runner, Chuck Jones and Friz Freling -era cartoons, and the goofball drawing (are anyone’s eyes ever the same size?) and frenetic pace are to me off-putting, but as with modern pop music, I’m not the target audience. I will say the modern Mickey Mouse cartoons, with all of the above characteristics, are actually pretty good. And, of course, SpongeBob.

I really hated that show.
