Cartoons have always held a special place in my heart. My first memories of television revolve around Space Ghost cartoons, and as I’ve grown older cartoons have served as a way to periodically re-connect with my childhood. For decades cartoons were marginalized as “children’s entertainment” with critics and adult audiences ignoring the creativity, artistic genius, and ingenuity that went into making them. Today’s cartoons are no longer “just for kids” and neither were the ones from 85 years ago, though most people didn’t quite realize it yet.
