I Wrote This Since Most Articles About Streaming Services Treat Animation As An Afterthought, Beyond
I wrote this since most articles about streaming services treat animation as an afterthought, beyond a generic recommendation to “get Disney+ for kids” or an off-handed mention of “Harley Quinn” or ”Rick and Morty.” Hopefully, this helps animation fans?

A look at media of interest coming out in January, in an expansion of my old comics/graphic novel picks posts.
Do you like my monthly comics picks posts?
(Copied and pasted from a Mastodon thread...)
Lately, I've wondering if it's worth continuing my monthly graphic novel picks/news blog posts, or if I should end the series.
It's a series I've been running since the blog launched, originally just for single-issue comics, and separate posts for each publisher. Since then, they've dwindled to DC/Marvel/indie book posts; then, a single monthly post for comics; and a few years ago, I switched to graphic novels instead of single issues (since I mostly read those now/as more evergreen posts).
However, I notice lately the posts have been sparse in actual recommendations. I've been down to just *one* graphic novel or trade paperback in recent months.
And even trying to pad out the "news" part with comic thoughts isn't helping. Today's post for December still seems short.
Some of it might also be my own shifts in comic reading. Most of it lately has been webcomics; my graphic novel reading lately seems to have slacked off, going by my TBR list in Hoopla. My interest in mainstream DC and Marvel has also largely waned, on top of that. Those just looking for canonical/mainstream Marvel Universe/DCU books wouldn't find them in said posts?
Again, the monthly comic/graphic novel picks have been a mainstay of my blog since it launched; I figured having a regular blog feature would be a good thing. But if I'm struggling to think of material for it, I wonder how useful it really is to others, or if I should end it.
What do you all think? Do you find the comic picks posts interesting? Or would you be OK with me writing about something else? (And if so, what?)
Wow. I wonder if this would be the “Chromebook” moment for the Fediverse (or Mastodon)? Someone can sign up here easily and chat with Mastodon users/follow Pixelfed photos/etc? Without needing to know about federation or instances?
Here’s a look at how animated cartoons and comics have depicted voting and elections, from “Gravity Falls” to “The Simpsons.”
Trivia aside, I do encourage my American readers to vote in next Tuesday’s elections, or early if allowed in your area.

Last month I drew a new Supergirl and/or Batgirl related piece of art everyday based on the official Inktober prompts. I called it SuperBatober! Here are the first six.

The originals of these are up for bid in my eBay store right now! (Intro and Bat will be in my Patreon).
While ChatGPT and chatbots are all the rage, I have some doubts about its widespread use, especially after the CNET incident.
The major animation cable networks are all down in ratings for 2022; kids these days are more likely streaming cartoons nowadays. One channel showed an increase: FXX (now basically the “Fox animation lineup channel”?)
