Move over "Pigs in Space", because you have some stiff competition in the whole space-faring animals category. British production company CAKE, Australia’s Studio Moshi, Mexico’s Ánima and Ireland’s Gingerbread Animation are teaming-up on new children's animated comedy series Space Chickens in Space.

With the “Cowabunga!” crew now complete, Nickelodeon gave us a first look at the cast of characters from their new 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

They capture the appearance and color of Jhonen Vaszquez's cartoon perfectly It always had its unique visual style and green-and-purple heavy color palette, and it is recreated in this comic with aplomb They also make Zim and Gir incredibly expressive to boot. Invader Zim #29 is yet another delightful issue of the series Writer Eric Trueheart[...]

With Fox's animated hit series Family Guy about to drop its 300th episode, I'm not sure what's more impressive: that the Seth MacFarlane series bested a ton of early naysayers to achieve such a milestone; or that Adult Swim still rotates the same 26 episodes on a regular basis.

Continuing the growing wave of nostalgia-equals-money reboots/revivals that we've seen over the past few years, ABC is developing two series that are both unique takes on known names: The Greatest American Hero and The Jetsons.

If you're DJ/producer (and righteously huge Rick and Morty fan) Deadmau5, you make the pair an offer they can't refuse. At his New Year's Eve show at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California, the performer had the mad genius and his grandson join him on stage via video monitors to ring in 2018.

If you're a Rick and Morty fan you can take some consolation in knowing that there's a dimension out there where a fourth season of the hit Adult Swim animated series actually sees the light of day in 2018. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to be this one.

On December 9th, Netflix returned to San Paulo's CCXP Brazil for a fourth consecutive year and brought Nick Kroll's 'Big Mouth' with them.

I know a small percentage of our world loves to ingest their comics with a literal mind (things must happen!), and those folk need to know that the promised dog fight from the cover never happens… so, y'know, quell that disappointment now. Still, Smith's cartooning is in constant piss take mode with Smith's depression, and it's[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The old cartoon trope of having a group of misfits form a team to take out an evil organization has been around for decades G.I Joe basically wrote the book on it and even revised it a few times Those tropes made their way into video games, but with more of a failure rate[...]

Blind boxes are all the rage, and one of the biggest companies on the market is Titan. I personally like them because they produce figures from adult

Massive films like Warcraft and Assassin's Creed have flopped, and there are a whole bunch more on the horizon trying to break the curse of 'video game movies'. But what about cartoons?

So I do these cartoons for Guido Fawkes, the political blog, every Monday This was the hilarious idea of having George Osborne who, although Conservative MPs have been told they will be able to campaign freely on either side of the upcoming European Referendum, has been exerting career pressure on the backbenchers. So impressed was one of[...]

French cartoonist Jacques Tardi has rallied against a cultural event in Paris that honours Tel Aviv, saying, It's my total outrage that motivated this drawing One year after the massacre in Gaza, should we do the festival on the banks of the Seine This is provocation It's almost an insult This is completely obscene and irresponsible[...]

I was at the world premiere of Scooby Doo and Kiss: A Rock and Roll Mystery ("SDKRRM"). NO SPOILERS. Except that the main villain would have gotten away

I'm planning to take the girls to see one of the copies on exhibition in London next weekend.

They also got into a fight over the live action TV show Mutant X made by Marvel, which was retrofitted to remove X-references. And recently Marvel have withdrawn a number of X-related licences as a result of their increasingly stretched relationship with Fox, and no longer produce the tie in products with their movies that they used to.   [...]

I'm their Monday Morning cartoonist Which means most Sunday nights I can be found poring over the political reports of the day looking for something I can be scabrous about, before sending in ideas to the big boys And occasionally tracing the odd member's member.
