...What keeps companies investing in animation and makes the genre the most reliable in today's market is the fact that cartoon features tend to do terrific business worldwide. (Action films with little talk also hit it big in foreign climes; language-dependent American comedies usually tank.) Box-office reports focus narrowly on the Sunday numbers in U.S. and Canadian theaters. But euros and rupees and yen are good money too, and sometimes movies that aren't quite blockbusters in North America make the bulk of their gross abroad...
...started with a cartoon drawing: a cluster of gaily colored party balloons held by a cranky old man, his eyes asquint, as if daring any kid to take one.

The Crosby-Ovechkin dream duel clocked in behind both a Batman episode on the Cartoon Network (1.5 million viewers) and a Reba rerun on Lifetime (930,000). The Los Angeles Lakers-Houston Rockets NBA playoff game on ESPN, with nearly 6 million viewers, came in first. The May 9 NASCAR Sprint Cup race, a regular-season affair, drew 7.5 times as many viewers as Game...
...April 30 editorial cartoon by “Samuel L. Clemens” continues the fine work I’ve come to expect from The Crimson over the years. (Anyone remember the “presidential neckwear” cartoon published shortly after the announcement of our first female president? Allow me to jog your memory: contrasting with a necktie, President Faust’s accessory was a dog collar and leash...
