Cartoonology is a blog that celebrates the fun and complexity of cartoons and focuses on the study of their character archetypes, plot tropes, and narrative structures, at least when the blogger decides to write something instead of reblogging gifs and pretty fan art. It's run by Melissa Wilkinson, a 22-year-old English major who takes notes on everything from Pokemon to The Venture Bros and dreams of going to grad school for animation screenwriting so she can create her own cartoons.

I told you I was going to make these thank-you cards for my professors and so I did.
This was something I thought about while watching the episode and it can definitely be seen that way. The beauty of this show is how many levels it works on and the different ways people can perceive the episodes, but I think some fans have become too prone to seeing episodes of Adventure Time as some sort of secret message from the creators regarding fan culture. The audience for this show is broad, covering a wider age range than most shows, and it’s important to remember that that a large part of that audience is children. Smart as they can be, children react best to simpler, more didactic stories and sometimes Adventure Time makes that its main focus. James Baxter could have been a metaphor for how the show found its footing and wants fans to be inspired by it without copying it, but I think it was probably intended to be a variation on the “be yourself” message, and that’s okay. Not every episode can be “All The Little People.”

That sounds like a fantastic episode! I love how this series shows both sides of Bubblegum’s life, as a ruler and as a young woman, and how those roles can easily get thrown out of balance, often due to her own ambitions. I’m surprised that Peppermint Butler is the one setting her up on a date because he doesn’t seem that proactively thoughtful, but I’m glad to see more of their interactions, especially if we can see something behind the closed doors of the palace.
