"Fox
Family Feud Over ‘Family Guy’." ... "A Sunday night
episode of the Fox animated series “Family
Guy” stirred up trouble by suggesting rather directly that Nazi
officers would have supported the McCain-Palin ticket. And it was another
arm of the News Corp. conglomerate, Fox News Channel, that first reported
on the episode." ... "Fox (the broadcast network) aired the episode in
which Stewie, the obnoxious baby character at the center of the series,
and Brian, a talking dog, traveled back in time to Poland during the 1939
German invasion. The characters ambush Nazi soldiers in an alley and steal
their uniforms so they can travel without drawing attention. Putting on
an overcoat, Stewie notices a McCain-Palin campaign button affixed to the
lapel. “Huh, that’s weird,” Stewie remarks." -By Brooks

Guy" cartoon with animated character "Stewie" in a Nazi uniform with a

- "Cartoon
characters caught in adults' food fight." ... "A
report Tuesday from the Institute of Medicine calls for dramatic changes
in the marketing of foods and beverages to children. For example, it asks
that licensed characters — such as cartoon stars like SpongeBob and the
princesses in Disney features — be used to promote only nutritious foods."
... "But in calling for marketing standards that support healthful diets,
the report does not define exactly what foods it's talking about. And not
everyone has the same definition of a healthful food." -By

- "The
Christmas classic that almost wasn't." ... "When
CBS bigwigs saw a rough cut of A Charlie Brown Christmas in November
1965, they hated it." ... ""They said it was slow," executive producer
Lee Mendelson remembers with a laugh. There were concerns that the show
was almost defiantly different: There was no laugh track, real children
provided the voices, and there was a swinging score by jazz pianist Vince
Guaraldi." ... "Mendelson and animator Bill Melendez fretted about the
insistence by Peanuts creator Charles Schulz that his first-ever
TV spinoff end with a reading of the Christmas story from the Gospel of
Luke by a lisping little boy named Linus." ... "The first broadcast was
watched by almost 50% of the nation's viewers." ... "And when the program
airs today at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, it will mark its 40th anniversary — a run
that has made it a staple of family holiday traditions and an icon of American
pop culture. The show won an Emmy and a Peabody award and began a string
of more than two dozen Peanuts specials." -By Bill

in Crumbland." ... "Misanthropic, sex-obsessed cartoonist
Robert Crumb is the subject of two retrospectives in coming weeks. To celebrate,
the Guardian this week publishes a selection of new and little-known Crumbs,
along with some more familiar works." -Guardian.co.uk

- "'When
I was four, I knew I was weird'." ... "From 60s hippies
to 90s film-makers and 21st-century art galleries, each generation has
rediscovered the misanthropic, sex-obsessed cartoonist Robert Crumb."

- "Pillaging
the cartoon universe: Fred Flintstone as a
mob boss! Yogi's pal BooBoo as a terrorist! Jonny Quest as the subject
of a gay child-custody battle! All these outrages and more can be found
on Cartoon Network's hilarious, hallucinatory "Harvey Birdman: Attorney
at Law." ... "Forget for a second that we're talking about an animated
short on Cartoon Network that airs around the witching hour, a time when
not one kid in North America is burning the midnight oil -- at least not
with his parents' permission. And forget also that we're talking about
an ornithological superhero who wears a three-piece suit and litigates
for a living." ... "Rather, pretend we're witnessing a bizarre discourse
on popular culture, fictional systems (including their explosion) and psychosexual
norms. Because it is then that Larry McCaffery's theories on metafiction
and intertextuality -- the mechanisms of postmodernism outlined in his
seminal work of literary criticism, "The Metafictional Muse" -- come into
play. If, as McCaffery argues, "we inhabit a world of fictions and are
constantly forced to develop a variety of metaphors and subjective systems
to help us organize ... experience," then metafiction is the pomo tonic
for our time, a Derridean (the name-dropping will end soon, I promise)
playfulness that "becomes a deliberate strategy used to provoke readers
to critically examine all cultural codes and established patterns of thought.""

Shuts Down Two Reformist Papers Over Political Cartoon Criticizing Authorities."
... "The Special Clergy Court ordered the Farsi-language Hayat-e-Nou closed
and summoned editor Hadi Khamenei to face unspecified charges. The cartoon,
published Wednesday, showed the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini being
crushed by a hand." ... "The cartoon shows a bearded, robed figure resembling
Khomeini crushed by a thumb, which in the [1937] original was identified
as Roosevelt." -AP

World: Comic Creator Trudeau Gives Rare Interview."
... "Frank Sinatra once called him "funny as a tumor," but the success
of cartoonist and political satirist Garry Trudeau tells a different story."
... "Trudeau's
Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip Doonesbury, first penned in 1970, is
found in more than 1,400 newspapers worldwide and fills nearly 60 published
collections. Along the way, it inspired ventures into film, Broadway and
