Blacksad
Blacksad is the award winning series of Spanish/French graphic novels by artist Juanjo Guarnido and writer Juan Díaz Canales of a 1950's America where anthropomorphic animals take the place of humanity, starring the perpetually unemployed Private-eye and black cat named Blacksad and his weasel sidekick Weekly. Despite this major difference, the world has mostly followed a similar path to ours. WW2, the Manhattan Project, the Red Scare, the Civil Rights movement, the rise of the Klu Klux Klan, and the Beat Poet movement all occur as they did in our world, only with animals standing in for historical figures or certain social-political groups.

Evolution of Children's Toys
It can be difficult to comprehend that there was even a time when toys were considered to be somewhat of a luxury item. In fact, prior to the 20th century, children had very few toy options available. The children from these early generations spent much of their time helping with simple household or outdoor chores. In those early times before there really ever was a legitimate children’s toy market; parents were forced to innovate their own objects for children to play with. Thus, some ancient cultures even resorted to using the remnants of animal carcasses to create balls, and many other entertaining objects like dice fashioned out of knuckle bones. As each century ran its course, toys continued to advance, and the evolution of children’s toys has progressed to a level that those previous generations could only have dreamt of.

Craziest Series Finales of All Time
A few months ago I wrote an article about crazy Nickelodeon Facts. In the article, I mentioned how the Angry Beavers recorded a finale where Dag and Norb realized they were about to be cancelled and they proceeded to break the 4th wall. This had me wondering, is this the craziest thing we've ever seen from a series finale? Well I did some research and I discovered the answer is no, not even close. Now, when I say crazy moments, I don't mean how crazy the montage was at the end of Six Feet Under, even though that was, in my opinion, the greatest ending of any TV show. I mean crazy like having a children's show end with the main character about to be tortured...

"La La Land" Review
La La Land is the most enchanting and whimsical movie I’ve seen in a very long time. I’ll admit, I go to the movies a lot, but rarely do I feel so much escapism as I felt while sitting in my local Regal Cinema, falling in love with this film. Directed by Damien Chazelle (Whiplash), La La Land will make your heart ache, and make you smile, feeling nostalgic for the authentic movie musical, unlike the NBC live productions.
