A whole baby... those ears remind me of Animaniacs...

Cartoons.
Childish? Sort of, but still fun!
Skittles remembers spending hours every Saturday, bowl full of Froot Loops and remote in hand, in front of the TV watching cartoons. Spongebob, Animaniacs, Tom and Jerry, Hey Arnold, Pinky and the Brain, Fairly Odd Parents, Courage, you name it and he’s seen it.
If it’s zany, got anvil drops, or slapstick comedy, he’s all over it. There’s just something so fun about getting lost in random plot holes, watching the goofy far-fetched adventures that the main characters go on, and, of course, the musical numbers always rock!
As an adult, he still spends his Saturday afternoons watching cartoons. Sometimes they’re the classics he grew up with, sometimes what’s becoming popular. But Saturdays are reserved strictly for his TV-watching ritual, clad in his favorite Patrick Star pajamas with plenty of junk-food snacks. After working so hard all week, eating treats and vegging out is the perfect way to relax.
Cartoons are just plain fun and he firmly believes that they’re not just for kids. He loves the cartoons that have jokes for the older crowd too, like subtle political jokes and pop-culture references. Cartoons with deeper themes, meanings, and subplots fascinate him the most. To be fair, he loves slapstick, but there’s something about an animated adventure layered with meaning that keeps him watching.
He wants to go back to college and become an animator. He’s tried his hand at it but to learn from the masters would be a dream come true. Sometimes he’ll sketch in a flip book in front of the TV and see if he can recreate the style of the series he’s watching, just for fun! But he believes there’s nothing like studying under the legends of animation themselves. He constantly finds himself zoning out thinking about art school... and eventually, a job as an animator! He’s almost saved up enough money for his first two and a half years of animation school, too! So soon enough it will be goodbye 9-to-5 paper-pushing and hello hustling hard at Warner Brothers Studios!
