Greek Dancing - cartoons for kids

Here are your Dry Bones blog updates Greek Dancing The economic Euro trouble means that for Greece to remain in the Eurozone they've got to become less Greek? Thinking of a dancing fun-loving Greece brought to mind, for me at least, the image of Anthony Quinn as Zorba the Greek. I assume that nobody remembers Zorba these days, but for those of you who do, below is a shot from the movie.  Anthony Quinn as Zorba -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973

Targeting Terrorists (2001) - funny cartoons

Here are your Dry Bones blog updates Targeting Terrorists (2001) November 08, 2001 Today's cartoon was published on November 08, 2001. Exactly 10 years ago. To the day! And it's another one of those "I could run it today, as it is, without any changes" cartoons!! Your thoughts? -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973

 

Yom Kippur (2004)

Yom Kippur (2004) August 23, 2004 Today's Golden Oldie was published in 2004 ...but it was a rerun ...one of the very few cartoons that I repeated a cartoon. So 2004 was the second time that I ran the cartoon. That was before I had the blog, which, for me, defines it as a "golden oldie". So here's one of my favorite cartoons! Again! Tomorrow is Erev Yom Kippur. Have an Easy Fast! Next cartoon on Monday. -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973

Awful Superhero Halloween Costumes I’d Love To See – Underwater Wonder Woman Posted: 06 Oct 2011 06:00 AM PDT What with all of the superhero flicks this past summer, there's no shortage of comic book costumes for Halloween this year. But as omnipresent as they are, there's still a few I'd like to see. I mean, heck if they made actual costumes from those DC Anime statuettes last year, maybe I got a chance! So every Thursday this month I'm going to be suggesting some less inspired costumes of years past that I'd LOVE to see at my door asking for candy. First up, Underwater Wonder Woman from the CBS series episode "The Bermuda Triangle Crisis":   Even all covered up, WW's still got it. Now, technically, unlike upcoming costumes, this is an actual real-life costume, but I want to see this mass-produced and for sale at my local Target!

What Kids Like in a Cartoon Character

If you’re planning on producing a cartoon series or rolling out a kids’ campaign with an animated character you might be interested in Kidscreen’s three-part series on children’s TV viewing habits.
The series covers recent research by Dr. Maya Götz of the International Central Institute for Youth and Educational Television in Germany.
Part one is boring and expected, pointing out that male leads overwhelmingly outnumber female leads in kids’ TV shows around the world, and that most female characters are overly sexualized with unrealistic body proportions.
Part two is interesting. When Dr. Götz gave over 1,000 children between 3 and 12 years old a choice of three different versions of the same female cartoon character, 70 percent of girls and boys chose the naturally proportioned character above the ones with a thin waist and a chubby waist. Turns out boys and girls also both prefer to see characters who are kids themselves (as opposed to adults).
Part three of the series focuses on the character genre preferences of boys, noting that less is more when it comes to dialogue for little boys. No chatty Cathy’s for them. Sounds like they prefer the strong and silent type.
So, create a monosyllabic, average-looking kid and you have your Romeo or Juliet!
