An excellent interview was done on the blog EvaWrites.com regarding a writer who spent quite a bit of time writing for cartoons. Check it out!

Cartoon Daily News is stretched out into Tumblr! It’s like my digital observation deck of art work that’s created by others from other sites or within the Tumblr universe!
Whether you are a fan of “Gravity Falls” or “Hey Arnold” or “Sonic the Hedgehog” or “Phineas and Ferb,” there’s all kinds of fan-art and even official art floating around on Tumblr.
I call my Tumblr page “The Daily Toon Up.”
I’ve already got a few great followers on my site. If you are on Tumblr please feel free to follow me there: http://cartoondaily1.tumblr.com
I plan to post some of my own original work pretty soon there myself potentially.
This week, I have been sort of off balance. I think the phrase from the episode “Carpet Diem” of Gravity Falls that best explains it is “sweaty and awkward.”
I have been feeling this way because I am walking into a new part of my life that’s very real, very open and without barriers, barriers I used to have up to protect me from hurt and harm, spiritually, mentally and physically!
I have learned to find strength that was new and not dependent upon me. I am learning to walk into my new identity, feeling new emotions and new life that I have never had before in parts of me that I left protected and cold. I’m seeing things I have not payed attention too. I’m feeling new feelings I have left unnoticed. Hence the reason, much like Dipper Pines, I have felt “sweaty and awkward.”
Thankfully, one of my friends talked to me about these feelings. He called it “secondary adolescence.”
Needless to say, nobody ever told me in health class that I would feel “sweaty and awkward.”
THE BULLY EFFECT on Sunday, April 28 at 5:30 and 8 p.m. (ET/PT)
As a journalist, author and minister, the topic of bullying means a LOT to me and to others.
Cartoon Network continues its vital conversation with kids and families about speaking up against bullying with a special presentation of THE BULLY EFFECT on Sunday, April 28 at 5:30 and 8 p.m. (ET/PT). Produced in partnership with Cartoon Network as part of its award-winning Stop Bullying: Speak Up initiative and presented commercial-free, THE BULLY EFFECT is a half-hour CNN original documentary abridged for family audiences and features additional original content, including a special introduction by Cartoon Network President/COO Stuart Snyder as well as a candid conversation with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper
THE BULLY EFFECT chronicles the journey of 14-year-old Alex Libby, whose emotional life is both restored and wonderfully activated because someone spoke up in his defense against bullying.
14-year-old Alex Libby from the documentary, “The Bully Effect.”
In 2011, filmmaker Lee Hirsch embedded himself in schools across America and captured footage so raw and eye-opening, it sounded alarm bells and helped create a tipping point about how critical the issue of bullying has become. Hirsch documented a then 12-year-old Alex, who was confronted with slurs, threats and beatings on the school bus nearly every day.
Following supportive intervention from an adult on his behalf, today he has become an anti-bullying rock star with appearances on national television and a visit to the White House.
During and immediately following the Sunday telecasts, bullying prevention expert Rosalind Wiseman will provide further explanation of key bullying issues for kids and families, answering viewer questions via an online chat at www.StopBullyingSpeakUp.com.
Following the live chat, THE BULLY EFFECT documentary will be posted in its entirety on the website starting Monday, April 29 at 10 a.m. for free, ongoing viewing by students, parents, educators and community leaders.
