The cartoon/exploitation of the IP was one of the first things to jade my younger self regarding crass commercialization of artists: here was something that had NOT (originally) been a toy (like the stupid Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man, etc.) that was then TURNED INTO a friggin' vehicle to peddle merch to children and their parents. Still makes me a little sick to this day, though I believe (or at least hope) that Eastman and Laird made a bundle on the deal.<br /><br />*sigh* I suppose it WAS a ridiculous premise. But then, so is D&D, right?JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-23229285146574498962020-09-18T22:47:35.268-04:002020-09-18T22:47:35.268-04:00If you can find evidence of that, I'd love to ...If you can find evidence of that, I'd love to hear about it.
