“THE MIGHTY B”!!!! Dont sleep on it!

It was Saturday. I was looking for the amusement only a cartoon provides. I wanted something familiar but there was nothing available. I came across a title that didn’t particularly stand out but I gave it a shot; “The Mighty B”. I won’t lie, I was hoping that this wasn’t some weak Nickelodeon show like “Doug”, “Rugrats”, “Hey Arnold” or the dreaded “Wild Thornberrys”. These shows spewed mediocrity and should have never left the creators skulls (no, I’m not biased). I was fantastically surprised. The writing is genius, the artwork is incredible. It’s like someone stole the torch from Tex Avery and shot for new heights. “The Mighty B” is reminiscent of “Ren and Stimpy”, “Spongebob Squarepants”, anything good from the 40’s and 50’s, and I want to say “Felix the Cat” for some reason. It is everything I could want and more. I seriously haven’t laughed harder in 15 years. What really caught my eye was the exaggerated poses and the wonderful contrast between vector graphics and color pencil backgrounds. Really great stuff. I love the effect that the rough cold press paper gives for the background; very organic. Do yourself a favor, check out the show and leave me a comment to tell me if I’m crazy or not for going on such a positive rant. This show should flourish among the Flash (Interactive) demographic where dry humor and appreciation for subtle genius runs rampant like an angry plague.
