A TV System with Oodles of Laughs

After my little rant a few weeks ago about the state of television animation in eastern Canada. I was directied to this great article on CartoonBrew about The End of the Creator-Driven Era in TV Animation.

All this talk made me dig up an old newspaper clipping from 2005 that I had saved because of its accurate depiction of television animation funding in Canada. As twisted and bizarre as it sounds, it's all true, as my bosses and producers for many years had to endure much punishment and corruption as they jumped through hoops in attempts to get our cartoons financed. Click the pic to read, it's awesome.
