Phineas and Ferb

the art of fiction, villains are so much more than the vile and unlikeable shells that they appear to be in some of the more bland instances.  One such example of a villain that breaks down the ideal of villainy is Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz of Phineas and Ferb.  He, like many villains before him, comes from a past of disappointment and sorrow, but unlike other villains, he is just as much a good person as he is a bad one.  His individuality and many unique character traits make him an anomalous and

This direct contact has positive effects, like when the creators of Phineas and Ferb when Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh were drawing Phineas and Ferb all grown up.

If I could travel back in time to the days of the Roman empire, I would try and prevent Constantine from moving the capital to a new location, Constantinople. And instead suggest that he either keeps it in place, or builds the capital but keeps Rome as it capital as well. The movement of the capital greatly benefited the eastern side of the Roman empire, but with the growing power of the east, the west continued to crumble. And as the west falls, the east will soon follow. Ths will result in the

Eric Segriff is a self-animator that made a couple of animated shorts. His most famous one is called Surge. It is about a world of identical robots that work together in an assembly line. Unfortunately, one robot malfunctions due to low battery. To resolve the problem, the other robots link to each other from a power source. Eventually, the sparks from the power source travel down the assembly of robots to boost dead robot. The composition of the cartoon is well-put together, considering that Segriff

I like observing people. And conserving my energy, I mean, how many people would do something if it didn’t improve their life? Even if I were a social butter (which I am almost definitely not) I would most likely be a dark, brooding moth. Just waiting until someone finally makes it move. Have I shared a PB&J with anyone? No. Do I want your PB&J? Most definitely not. I like my own PB&J. You may believe that this is related to the fact that I have almost no friends, and that the friends I have are

In the popular children’s television show Phineas and Ferb, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, the primary antagonist declares that he is “ruthless. [He] has no ruths” (19:40).

The platypus was discovered in 1798 so they have a lot of history. The platypus have been going extinct “from the 1940s. Litter, land-clearing and degraded water have posed the biggest threats to the urban platypus population which seeks out water-dwelling bugs at night though a unique electroreception system

If there was ever an appropriate occasion to apply the phrase “freak of nature” it would have to be in reference to the platypus. The platypus or, ornithorhynchus anatinus, is one of those WTF animals that seemed to be manifested from the imagination of a four year old.

Number One: They lay eggs. One
