A remarkable 1987 article about “Q5”, a consultancy that, i’ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

www.latimes.com/archives/la-...
Straczynski expressed the highest regard for Trias and ABC, but he said that he believes "network paranoia" has led them to use Q5. "It is a truly insidious organization, I make no bones about it at all. A lot of their research and theories are strictly from voodoo, Straczynski continued. "I think they reinforce stereotypes--sexist and racist. I think they are not helping television, they are diminishing it." In addition to Janine's new look, described in notes on one DIC character drawing as "generally less harsh & "slutty," she will have a warmer, more nurturing relationship with Slimer, a childlike comic character who sometimes dissolves into slime. The show also will contain less satire and less subtle, sophisticated verbal humor. "I've written a few shows for this season, and they weren't as much fun as last season," lamented "Real Ghostbusters" writer Michael Reaves. As one of numerous examples of this change, the Q5 report notes that some jokes that writers had included about college days and "no intelligent life in New Jersey" would go over the heads of young children. A phrase such as "create the proper ambiance," the report suggests, could be phrased more simply: "Make this room look like a little boy's.

Norrin Radd, relatable as always.
Two panels from SILVER SURFER #18 (1970) by Lee/Kirby/Trimpe/Rosen showing the Silver Surfer brooding on the rocky ground saying "But now--my very soul is aflame with burning rage! In a world of madness--I tried to practice reason---but all I won was hatred---and everlasting strife!"

SPONGEBOB BUT NOIR
My preliminary art for volume 1 (of 3) of the illustrated SPONGEBOB MYSTERIES novels written by David Lewman.
Cover of the book showing SpongeBob and Squidward investigating the disappearance of their friends Patrick (the starfish). The following pictures are preliminary drawings of different moments of the investigation with both SB and Squidward in fedoras and trench coats, all very noir.
