TV show that was on Cartoon Network. I dunno if they still air it, but it was pretty popular so they probably do, though I don't think they're making new episodes. Centered around a kid named Mac who is forced to give up his Imaginary friend, Bloo, but comes to an arrangement with Mrs. Foster who owns the 'Home' so that Bloo won't get adopted by a new kid, so long as Mac promises to visit every day. Bloo's a megalomaniac, so mayhem ensues. It was witty, retro at times and a lot of fun. Plus some nice character designs:
What the fuck was up with romance comics back in the day?
I mean, yes, a lot of it owes to the fucked-up sexual mores our culture had back then (we're still quite fucked-up now, but we have made some progress since then, I think), but so much of this ... FUCK, man.
I mean, I'm pretty much 90-percent straight, but if I'd grown up thinking that this was the way "normal" heterosexual romantic relationship went, I would TOTALLY be up for The Gay.
It's like these comics were written by men who thought that vaginas had TEETH inside of them.
There's a good message here about redemption or responsibility or forgiveness or growth or something, but it's buried beneath a story about three very unlikable people. FAR FAR beneath.
I got married to the widow next door, She's been married 7 times before, And every one was a Henry (Henry!), She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam) I'm her 8th old man I'm Henry! Henry the 8th I am!
I was all, oh Anne's pretty amazing (weird but amazing) until I got to the end and she pulled the swooning voice out to celebrate his willingness to enter a loveless marriage with the woman he cheated on her with out of spinelessness.
EC totally ruined stuff like this for me. I keep expecting him to come back to Anne, only to find she's really just a shell filled with sentient silverfish or something. "We'll /all/ love you, Mark! Kiss me!"
Oy yoy yoy. Mark, take my advice - get as far away from both of these women as you possibly can. One of them's a psycho, and the other's a control freak. I mean, good grief - she keeps him engaged to her through THREATENING TO COMMIT SUICIDE if he leaves, then casually admits that she had done this to 'salvage her pride', and that's all fine and dandy because he never really loved her? And when he tells Anne about this, she insults his manliness for not leaping at the chance to marry a crazy woman who might up and jump out the window at any moment? Listen, lady, how would YOU like to be in a fix like that? No matter what he does, he loses - AS YOU'VE JUST DEMONSTRATED TO HIM. Mark, you may THINK that you're happily married, but just you wait - one day you'll spill your cornflakes or something, and she'll kick you out of the house. And if THAT doesn't happen then crazy suicide-lady is going to try to get back together with him, through the use of some headache-inducing reverse logic, and the two crazy ladies are going to have a massive bitch-off knockdown catfight that will shake the walls of your house, while you huddle whimpering in a corner, waiting for one of them to remember you. You poor shmuck, Mark - you've doomed yourself to a living hell.
