I really hope he liked doing so despite not being especially familiar with that franchise, because I would like to include some of its Nick cartoon's other characters in future commissions I buy from Berry later down the line.

This also marks Berry's first time drawing any character from Monster High.

Jason the Cartoon Fan @jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social · 4h

…I was also thinking of a way to put the two of them together in Berry's one-of-a-kind artwork. Eventually, I realized that both of these elements could be together in an art piece, and so here we are.

Jason the Cartoon Fan @jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social · 4h

…and since Cleo in this specific iteration of Monster High is just like Andrea when it comes to characteristics (a popular rich girl who appears to be grouchy and selfish, but actually has a lot of kindness and compassion once you get to know her),…

As for how this idea came to be, I wanted to commission some kind of art piece from Berry for Spooky Day,…

Jason the Cartoon Fan @jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social · 4h

…it's because Andrea basically finds herself in the same predicament with Cleo that SpongeBob got caught in with The Flying Dutchman in SpongeBob SquarePants's original Halloween episode (and the Dutchman's very first appearance on that show!), "Scaredy Pants".

If this scenario looks and sounds familiar to you,…

Andrea Davenport from Disney Channel's The Ghost & Molly McGee (becoming the first character I paid Berry to draw more than once with this art piece commission) has found herself in hot water with Cleo de Nile from Nickelodeon's animated series for Monster High…

Jason the Cartoon Fan @jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social · 4h

For the first time ever in my commissions from Berry, the worlds of two different companies collide:

Jason the Cartoon Fan @jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social · 4h

"Out of all the Cleo de Nile costumes I've seen, yours is the most insulting!"

Two frightfully fun cartoons perfect to watch in the lead-up to Halloween have crossed over this Spooky Month, thanks to an art piece I just commissioned from NoParking Berry!

In this art piece I paid Berry to draw, Andrea Davenport is wrapped in toilet paper while wearing a light purple dress (matching the dye at the bottom of her hair) and a Nemes crown as her attempt to dress up as Cleo de Nile for Halloween this year. However, she accidentally invokes the anger of the REAL Cleo de Nile, who is looking down at Andrea from the right with a harsh frown on her face and a dark cloud above her head.

The two of them are in front of an abstract background just a slightly lighter shade of blue than the shade that Cleo’s attire sports. Berry’s signature has been written at the bottom of the art piece, specifically in between Andrea and Cleo.

The rough draft sketch of Berry’s art piece starring Andrea and Cleo has the same composition, but colorless beyond red outlines and a red version of the cloud above the latter character, and with the “©️D.J. Berry” stamp slapped onto the center of the piece due to Berry’s signature having not been added yet.

replacing the Scooby-Doo Sunday Specials and Flintstone Family Sunday blocks (which I had a feeling would eventually be removed after they both got trimmed to an hour).

Mighty Mouse and Friends will be the name of the syndication package that the channel uses for them, and it will air Sundays from 3-5 PM -

Correction: it’s actually coming this Friday (October 17, 2025).

Looks as though PBS Retro may be getting a new series every Friday for the rest of October.

The program guide for PBS Retro on Plex - revealing Jakers! is indeed set to premiere there on Friday, October 17, 2025 at 6:39 PM (right after Zoboomafoo, just like Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps the Friday before).

Correction for those who rely on the ALT text: the episode of The Fairly OddParents with a screenshot featured in the post below is actually "Mission: Responsible".

Jason the Cartoon Fan @jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social · 1d

I'm in my living room watching reruns of Fairly OddParents. Life is pretty mediocre right now.

Wanda nervously watching a waiter at a fairy restaurant she and Cosmo are enjoying a romantic night out at so they can have a break from taking care of Poof in the Fairly OddParents episode "For Emergencies Only" - as seen on TeenNick tonight.

PBS Retro is getting another series tomorrow night at 6:39 PM Eastern: Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks.

Very interesting to see this channel suddenly receiving an influx of new additions after nearly 17 months of stagnation.

Update: PBS Retro has revised their schedule again, and Thomas is staying after all - now airing back-to-back with Angelina.

Looks as though PBS was able to sign a very, VERY last-minute renewal for the Really Useful Engine's show!

Amazon’s guide for their Fire TV channels now has Thomas & Friends displayed for 90 minutes before 90 minutes of Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps in the morning.

The wide grin Homer makes in response to Bart getting "The Dud" in the episode of The Simpsons titled "Summer of 4 Ft. 2" - the origin of an infamous meme video - as seen last night alongside Marge laughing with her eyelids half-closed on FXX.

As for Jellystone!, it's nice to see an HBO Max Original from Warner Bros. Animation get regular airtime on cable for a change.
