Samurai Jack was one of the most stylish cartoons and I'm sure it influenced a lot of kids who later become artists. Aesthetics are important part of education and entertainment after all. I loved those backgrounds, music, style, story. iconic.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
