Why Am I Doing This?

I recently received a friend's comment asking me why I'm writing about cartoons, especially when I'm on the precipice of my burgeoning adulthood. So, I've decided to create a list the top three reasons:

#1 I don't have kids, so I think I'm an authority on raising them.

(although in this case, I am just bossy)

As with any 20-something, I think I'm the absolute authority on the world. Granted, I don't actually believe this, however, I do believe I have a unique perspective on cartoons specifically, because I'm not worried about their mind-numbing attributes on the minds of my young. More than anything, though, I believe I can help you point things out when your kids question why Timmy did this or that in the cartoon, by laying out a list of important topics that cartoons often neglect.

#2 I adore cartoons.

Am I probably too old to love cartoons?

#3 When things aren't going the way they should, we should all just step up and say no.

Really, folks, everyone needs to start standing up when we see problems in the world, whether it's as globally important as political policies or as local as a friend's insensitive joke. Small steps toward racial, gender, and other equalities are where the war needs to be taking place today.

Just doing my civic duty, everyone.
