With Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and WB all under, the same roof, I am certainly quite glad it’s not a monopoly!

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep used to be derided as a guilty pleasure or worse, and probably still is by some people.

Shockingly, the more social media platforms I spread myself thin on, the more mentally unwell I become! Imagine! So I'm gonna hold off on uploading every episode here after all, but If you're staying off of IG and want to read SUGARBEAR, sit tight! I'm working on finding the right place for it 🫡

Sometimes I just wanna read some Captain Marvel

Whiz Comics #126 (1950). The cover by Pete Costanza shows Cap holding a small bottle that a large Genie is emerging from. He tells Cap, "Greetings, friend Marvel!"

LA friends! If you’re on the West Side today, come check out my wife, Diane Michaeli’s beautiful ceramic work from 10am to 3pm at Mercado Dorado 806 Projects at 806 Broadway in Santa Monica!

A beautiful Diane Michaeli stands behind a table of beautiful ceramics including vases, bowls, eye bowls, candle holders, plates, bird vases that rock in a very satisfying way and more. Text on the photo reads “I AM READY!” and “Doors open at 10am”

Yes it has. I didn’t work on the movie but I think I got to see an early screening. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years but a lot has happened since then.

Season 2 of ADVENTURE TIME: SIDE QUESTS releases on 10/2 on Disney+ and Hulu!! This season includes one of my favorite things I’ve written. It’s a story based on a very humiliating incident from my childhood. Plus an homage to a classic movie. That’s all I can say for now but more after the release.

The poster for season 2 of Adventure Time: Side Quests shows Finn riding Jake with their new AT:SQ designs as they fly over Oo while wielding a sword as various objects fall out of his backpack.

She was created for a gag in the Slumber Party episode. Probably just seemed funny to do a misdirect since Pearl was suspicious that SpongeBob and Krabs were spying on the party.

Dani Michaeli @danimichaeli.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I’m not sure but I remember thinking about Krabs and Plankton’s relationship, and that there might be something interesting about them teaming up, and that a common enemy could be the catalyst.

A close friend’s ancestor was an adventurer and colonizer who became king of an island. My friend is technically a potential heir which struck me as something that had comedy potential. What if you were suddenly king?

I recall there being something about it in the show bible but the show bible could have been an updated version of what you saw. I think it’s fair to say that at the time, there had been a lot of cartoons that used parody stories so it might have been a reaction to that trend.

It was laid out in the show bible as something to avoid.

SpongeBob didn’t used to do parodies as a rule but this one was inspired by an old science fiction film called Fantastic Voyage.
