Well I havent made one of these in a while so I think it's about time I do so. First of all, I've been working and also trying to find more work. Thankfully I know where to go for that so all in all that's not a serious problem. Second, there's a big yet sad announcement that I have to make: I quit using Livestream. Why you may ask? It's not that I haven't streamed in a long time. Nor is it because I stopped drawing ( I haven't but I've drawing off cameras for a bit). No I quit with Livestream because their free service is being phased out and all they have now is either a trial period or two subscription services that are insanely priced. WHat's considered insane? Look here:

No I didn't make those up.

So obviously Non-Art needs a new home. Preferably one that's free and easy to work with cameras since I do traditional artwork.

There's more to give out but I have to get some second opinions on some things.

You need rehab. Why? Because I saw this.

Nintendo just made me need a cigarette. And I don't smoke. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get some sleep before I joygasm myself into Saturn

Welcome one and all to...Toon Court. The place where the animated can finally get the judgement they richly deserve. I've been debating on doing this and it was just a matter of how. Now why am I going the text route? Because it's not safe to make this a video on YouTube because not all the animated series I talk about may not have praises sung about them. And I got a lot of them. But to start, I'm going to tell you about my ratings system. But how do I determine my scale? With 2 hours. If a series can keep my attention for 2 hours, it's worth watching. Why 2 hours? Because the average movie is 1 ½ hours. Add bonus features and it's another half hour. So 2 hours. A series should keep quality going for that long. And what better way to start then throw a franchise in the spotlight? Namely… Sonic the Hedgehog. That's right. 4 levels of my ratings system can be referenced with Sonic. Shocking isn't it?

So let's start off with the top of the heap. The best of the best. #1. The highest level of my scale...The Shelf of Awesome. On this level lies only the best selection of animated gold. Don't get me wrong. These may not be perfect in every episode. You can find the bad episodes if you really look for them. But there's more than enough to recommend. And here on this level is Sonic the Hedgehog. Aka STHAM. AKA Sonic Saturday morning. Amazingly based off the still running comic book series.The story is captivating. Characters are not annoying to the point of painful. And the Robotnik is the most threatening. Bottom line the threat is real and death is a thing that can happen. Anyway, any series on this level gets high praise from me and I'd highly recommend checking it out.

The next level down we have...The Good Pile. Series here are worth watching,but the bad episodes are noticeable. The Sonic series on this level is Sonic X. I can tell many of you are now pulling out the torches and pitchforks but let me explain. 1, this series is actually anime. And 2, because it was anime, it was translated to English by 4Kids. So odds are you saw the version 4Kids gave everyone outside Japan. Still, for a series made from the Sonic Adventure games and their own stories, it wasn't bad. But if it wasn't part of a story, the episode wasn't worth remembering. So with this level, I can recommend,but not without warning.

Now we come to the bad stuff. Here lies...The Fail Furnace. Any animated series here is not good. Too many bad episodes. Maybe the premise was awful or the script painful. The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog lies here. It's the first series made or rather, the one made from the original Sega Genesis games. And wow. There's good here but you gotta dig for it. On this level is a special ranking I refer to as The Guilty Pleasure Grill. It's still in the furnace and bad but it's a series that I may catch myself watching if nothing else is on.

Now you'd think that would be the lowest point in animation shows but it's not. There is a level lower. A level I could have only discovered by the chance of one terrible show and one idea from a movie clashing in my head. Ladies and gentlemen of the viewing audience, I present to you...The Dip Pit. These shows have no mercy for your eyes, ears, nor your soul. And you should not have sympathy for them either. Sonic Underground is such a show. I don't even remember the universe it came from existing outside a Sonic Super Special comic. Tell me if this sounds like a good show: Sonic and his two siblings are royalty ousted by Robotnik and have to get their thrown back by using pendants that turn into musical instruments that are also weapons. No I'm not joking. That's the premise. Now imagine Jaleel White (who voiced Sonic in all but Sonic X) singing in three different tones, one of which is a female voice. Yes the mind can in fact vomit and I bet yours just did.

So that's my ratings, or to be more appropriate, verdict scale for animated shows. Why is Sonic Boom not mentioned? I'd prefer to judge that by itself in a proper review. But what will be the first series to be judged? You'll just have to wait and see. Until then, Toon Court is over. Court is adjourned!

From 6am-7pm EST, Cartoon Network will be unwatchable. This is because there will be a marathon of Power Puff Girls 2016 and Teen Titans GO! leading up to their cross over episode.

I. MUST. BUY. THE. BLU-RAY.

It's not much but it's something I wanted to make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dphZgNaRqas

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THE CAPS IS VALID!

We have a new Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon premiering TOMMOROW 4PM EST on Nick.

I repeat. We have a new Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon premiering TOMMOROW 4PM EST on Nick.

It will look like the following. Prepare yourselves. I thought we had more time.

Not for me but for this person.

New muffler, new exhaust, repaired catalytic converter. Now all that's left is the flex pipe which is extra. Also I don't think my PC will need to head in for repairs. Apparently it can go nuts power wise if it's too cold. And for about a month or so here there's been enough snow to literally bury it if it was outside. It's been close to the wall that's outside though so maybe it's been too cold because I yanked(not literally) it out of it's hidey hole and it's sitting on the carpet with the cooling vents exposed. Still I may sit some money aside for power supply repairs

Apparently FA is partners with IMUV or whatever. Am I worried? I don't have anything to be worried about. I mean I just heard about it and I have no idea what will change if anything. A policy I've gone with for alot of things is "I don't leave until you force me to leave." And by that i mean I get a letter telling me to leave/a notice the site is permanently shutting down. So no I'm not jumping ship. Maybe things will get better. Maybe things will get worse. We wont know until things happen.

Jury Duty is over with for 4 years(Good news). There's no virus/malware on my PC(Good news). After talking to the online help desk, I have to take my pc to get the power supply looked at and probably replaced(bad news). Still haven't gone to fix the car and going to go look for a gym to lose some weight

Let's see. PC might have a virus that makes it shut down randomly for a while. Muffler on my car decided to start hugging the ground. Jury Duty screening was on monday and this monday I have to go back for a case. Yeah, these past 2 weeks have been brutal.

I'm not normally one to spread about the word but this is for a good cause and for his family. Rather then try and explain things Look here for the story:

First I hear about Joan Rivers passing away. Then I come home and i see that Jim Hardiman has as well. I would ask if it's possible to miss someone you never met but I already know that answer. So long Queen of Comedy. Good-bye skunkfather.

Ok Long story short: I'm in need of inspiration and I want to draw probably on livestream. So I'm offering free art from me. I'm not awesome but I try. So post references and I'll see what I can do

When you cross Tom Leher with Pokemon? You get this.

They were the result of a combination of artist block, personal frustration on what to draw, and someone else idea. I was trying to think about what to draw and lo and behold, I run into some recent submissions from  ashleyfableblack. Her try at this was much, MUCH more personal and heartfelt then mine. But like their work I drew from the heart upon what I was feeling. Seriously check their work out but be prepared to shed a tear a bit. So just to show what I spawned in this unusual bit of vent art look here:

You watched it. WHat are you waiting for???

This question is aimed towards the Republican Party after their attempt to get their way. The attempt that the term "Epic Fail" is not remotely big enough to put into focus. You put the reins of your party into the hands of the Tea Party and then they went someplace crazy and muted their ears to keep from hearing opposing arguments. The Anti-Stupid Party here would like to say we would have like to laughed so hard we'd pop something, but you kept going and it stopped being funny and just became sad.

First off, I personally would not be angry if there was anger over a BILL. Those can be edited and with time become a law. But lo and behold, you're throwing a temper tantrum over a LAW. And then you say it's unconstitutional and illegal. Really? From what I understand, it was a BILL, went through all the legal red tape, handed to every person it should have been, and finally the president signed it into LAW. You know what a law is right? It's those things everyone has to follow even if they don't agree with them to prevent unwanted consequences. I'm sure there are people who'd rather buy a TV then just grab it and run because there's a law against it. Or dropping a brick into oncoming traffic. Or any idea where only the people who don't care and will eventually pay for their idiot ideas later on. So yes, I would have said you have the right make a nuisance of yourselves in opposition to Obama Care. But you don't get to make everyone suffer by going "Screw you guys. I'm going home." Only I think the person that originally said that would call you idiots.

So you wanted to oppose the cost of Obama Care? How much did it cost? Probably not $84 Billion. That's the cost of how much this cost the ENTIRE US! Not to mention the jobs that could have been made. And you shut down the "non-essential" parts of the government. Last I checked, the FDA was a pretty essential organization. Those are the people who keep everyone from drinking Salmonella Smoothies and eating Cholera Cabbage. You essentially held the world hostage because you couldn't get your way. I say it's going to cost you more then just that price tag.

Now do I think Obama Care is mana on high in terms of fixing the health care crisis? No. Do i think it's at least a start? Oh you bet your ass I do. Find me someone who thinks the health care system works now as it without fixing and I'll show you a liar,a cheat, and a delusional sack of DNA who never had to worry about a hospital bill. I've volunteered in a hospital and seen how the ER is as well as have a family member go there. It's a version of working hell no one should ever have to be put into without proper pay. And there's the vicious cycle that many are not aware of. It goes like this:

I can't get proper medical coverage because I don't have a good job. I don't have a good job because I'm in debt for hospital bills. I'm in debt for hospital bills because I don't have proper medical coverage.

I probably just stated that sloppily but that's the cycle in a nutshell. Obama Care would at least find those who don't have/not enough coverage and help them out. And when people have the right coverage they go back to work. When they go back to work, more income for the company. More income for the company, more of a chance for expansion of the company.

There's more i could say about this but I think I'm going to rest myself for now. Just know this Republicans: You needed to do some serious house cleaning before. Now, you need to do it if you ever want the RIGHT people on your side again. I think it's time to quit drinking the tea
