The animated cartoon is usually associated with children and of course, kids love this kind of entertainment. However, many adults are entertained though animation as well. Recently, adults have become the target audience in some animated cartoon programs. It is not unusual to have a conversation between two adults that include current programs like Family Guy and Sponge Bob Square Pants.
There are basically four categories in this entertainment genre, basic American, Anime, American Anime and classic. The basic American animated cartoon includes such memorable programs as Bugs Bunny, Flintstones and Scooby Doo. The changing face of society has left many of these old favorites as cult classic animated cartoons.
Gearing some of the content toward mature audiences is not really a new thing. The older Warner Brothers animated cartoon would include some jibes and jokes that would go completely over a child’s head while providing some entertainment for parents. Other programs were based on adult shows. For example, the Flintstones animated cartoon was based on Jackie Gleason’s Honeymooners.
Anime is the Japanese style of animated cartoon that has been in circulation for many years. It has become increasingly popular over the last decade. Anime has been geared for both children and adults. There are several cartoons that are developed just for children like Pokemon and Digemon Digital Monsters. There are also several adult themed anime cartoons like Full Metal Alachemist and Inuyasha.
American Anime is the most recent trend in the modern animated cartoon. Shows like Avatar and Martin Mystery and Teen Titans blend the American style of using proper body proportions while adding elements of traditional anime as well. Common features of the traditional version include oversized eyes and extreme exaggeration of emotion in facial expressions.
Classic animated cartoon styles include Disney and Don Bleuth films. These films are very realistic in style. The animators are required to study everything about the characters. They even have to know the movement of a cat’s tail that is sitting in the background. The classics like Snow White and The Secret of NIMH are prime examples of this intricate art form.
The animated cartoon has come a long way. You can find entire networks dedicated to this form of entertainment. The Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and The Disney Channel offer this programming twenty-four hours a day. The Fox network devotes most of its Sunday lineup to the grown-up animated cartoon like Family Guy, The Simpsons and American Dad.
While the animated cartoon will always be closely tied to our experiences with childhood, it is nice to know that we can still appreciate this form of entertainment as adults.

Depending upon who we are, how we came up, where we come from, and what delights us, Andy Warhol pictures move us in different ways, have different meanings, or remind us of different times. When I see one of the many unique Andy Warhol pictures, depending upon the image, I am reminded of various times, people, and even media.
When I see the black and white Andy Warhol pictures, the ones where he is solo or with company, I am reminded of the biographical pieces I have read about his loft, about the visitors, the music, the creativity, the drugs. I also inevitably remember reading the book, Edie: An American Biography– about Edie Sedgewick, the Sedgewick Pie member who went awol from elitism to star in Warhol’s films and pose for Warhol art. This reminds me of the accounts I have read where Edie is hanging out with Bob Dylan, and this makes me trip on Dylan—the supreme ruler of lyrics in the 21st century (coming head to head only with Leonard Cohen). This also includes accounts, per se, written in lyric form by Patti Smith, who also reminds me of the greatest artists to have ever lived. (I stood in a book-signing line for Patti Smith one night, foolishly asking, when I finally got my turn in front of the queen of punk/hip, if she would be interested in attending a part/art salon…to which she kindly declined.)
Andy Warhol pictures on post cards and on affordable prints (accepting that by no means will I ever afford an actual Warhol anything) remind me of childhood and my own impressions of Campbell’s soup, all of which I loved saved the fat thick noodle one that would for some reason make me gag; remind me of the first time I heard Elton John sing “Goodbye Norma Jean…” (”Candle in the Wind”), and connected the song to Marylyn, whom Warhol features in the most glamorous and grandiose ways one could ever find.
And Andy Warhol pictures remind me of the kick-ass film, “I Shot Andy Warhol,” starring the brilliant understated (as always) and therefore stellar performance of Lili Taylor (as Valerie Jean Solaris), who then reminds me of the avant garde “Six Feet Under,” where she played Nate’s love interest and mother of his child for a while.
To hell with six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon…though I love him and he is beautiful and talented in his own right. How about six-degrees-of-Andy-Warhol-pictures?
