CARTOON NETWORK TOUR: POWERPUFF GIRLS, JOHNNY BRAVO, JOBS FOR CARTOONISTS IN BURBANK, LOS ANGELES.
Dienzo, the talented artist and wonderful human being who turned me into a vampire, invited us to visit Cartoon Network where he works. A behind-the-scenes tour of the creation station for Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack? Count us in!
As you might imagine, Cartoon Network’s artists work in a whizz-bam, kapow-spkow environment. Concept sketches covering the walls. Giant statues of Ben 10 and other characters. A pillow version of Bloo from Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends. Toys, t-shirts and other kid’s merchandise displayed in cases.
I’m not familiar with Cartoon Network’s newest shows, so it was a treat to meet the creators and see their latest work. The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack thinks outside the box; the show uses stop-motion and features title cards carved from wood.
Here’s a little secret: Cartoon Network’s stairwell is covered in graffiti from previous visitors! Yukiro signed his name; I drew a cartoon version of my Scottish Fold neko, Basil Farrow. (He’s in my Cute Yummy Time book in cartoon-form as well.)
The case of Emmy awards was neat, but we felt Dienzo’s office was the heartbeat of the building. His Goth girl paintings and haunted memorabilia perfectly reflect his (and our) aesthetic. (You can see more of Dienzo’s work on his website.)
The second best aspect of Cartoon Network? The ground floor lounge is always stocked with coffee, soda and snacks. On Fridays, there are free bagels and fresh popcorn. In the summer, there are ice cream parties on the rooftop!
Thank you so much to Dienzo and Cartoon Network for inviting us into your creative quarters!
Tell me young paduans: watch Cartoon Network do you, hmmm? Which show your favorite be?

That pic with Yukiro and Billy is so Funny!! The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy was such an awesome show. I especially love the one where they have the song “BRAINS” by Voltaire playing the entire episode.

You know what’s sad? Cartoon Network doesn’t even play most of those cartoons any more. I don’t get Boomerang, so I don’t know whether they do on there or not.
Same goes with Nickelodeon, they had some great stuff on there in the 90s.
