Cartoon news

We juxtapose 'em, you try in vain to figure out what we're getting at -- or something like that:

A British Muslim has been found guilty of soliciting murder during a London rally against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.
From the BBC, which also reports:
Iwao Takamoto, the US animator who created cartoon dogs Scooby-Doo and Muttley, has died aged 81.

He was responsible for characters from The Flintstones and The Jetsons when he worked for the Hanna-Barbera studio.

Are you perhaps implying that Scooby-Do et al. should never have seen the light of day? And that a fatwa on the Flintstone and the Jetsons is in order? For bad taste and second-rate artistry?

Well, he would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those dang kids.
