...reality tours are as heavy on left-wing politics as the Chiapas trip. Global Exchange sponsors "Jammin' in Havana," with an emphasis on music, and its next visit to Iran focuses on Iranian cinema. Nor are all reality tourists liberals. "Republicans are not uncommon," claims Global Exchange spokesman Jason Mark. He recalls with fondness a Texan who broke into God Bless America during a Cuba tour. "The Cubans groaned, and he demanded to know 'What's the problem? God or America?'"

Creator Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory) raids the history of illustration, art and cinema with the gusto of a kid playing in an attic. He gleefully cobbles past, present and future into a supercool fantasy of classical Japanese art, Hanna-Barbera, expressionism, anime, '60s film and '50s modernism, just for starters. (His dystopian future city looks like hell as designed by Charles...
