"That's what you get for reproducing."
Messed around with the webcomics links. "9E/9thElsewhere" is on the way to the list, as soon as I find it again.

And if you have not been reading Sluggy Freelance and it's most recent storyline, shame on you. It's the classic "Demon comes to steal Torg's Soul every Halloween" arc, but this year, it's finally coming to a close. Almost as good as the "Bun-Bun: Eater of Holidays" arc.

Meanwhile: is it just me, or are Pixar and Dreamworks major copycats of each other?
Toy Story--Small Soldiers
A Bug's Life--Ants
Finding Nemo--Shark Tale
Cars--Robots

(Oh, sorry, that last one is a different company called "Blue Skies". Wait...doesn't Dreamworks have blue skies in their logo...? *conspiracy theory!*)

But seriously, am I the only person that keeps seeing this? It's like one of the companies gets an idea, then the other company gets wind of it and makes the opposite target audience version of the movie (Pixar gets the kiddie group, Dreamworks takes the adults). To be honest, I prefer the Pixar movies. *shrugs* Though the Dreamworks ones tend to be more "true to life", as movies can possible get.

Does this mean I'm downing on Dreamworks? Heavens, no! C'mon, Shrek 2! 'Nough said. Though, to be honest, I was worried that DWs was getting to be a one trick pony with the Shrek series. I've seen the future, though, and it's...

...psycotic penguins?

Dude, seriously. DWs may be worrying that others think it's a copycat company, so it's making its own ideas. The penguins are from Madagascar. The movie, I mean. It looks like it could be funny. And leaning toward the kid audience this time around. Or everyone. See, that's why Shrek hit it off so well--the movie encompassed an incredibly large and receptive audience. DWs knows this and I'll bet they're trying to find that magic formula again. Best of luck to them. Honestly.

Wow, that was a fun rant. ^_^
