How Has Cartoons Shaped Who You Are Today?
![Alt 101.7 logo](http://townsquare.media/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/WQBJFM1.png?w=100)
My childhood consisted of playing outside until 8PM then going inside, having dinner then watching Cartoon Network until about 1 or 2AM. Those were the days! Watching Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd N Eddy, Samurai Jack, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi and so many other shows that formed me as a child.
I stopped watching Cartoon Network around 2005 and transferred over to only watching the "grownup" version on the same channel and station.. Adult Swim. Oh man.. when this came on the screen I knew it was going to be legit.
Family Guy, Naurto, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show, The Boondocks, Futurama and so many other badass shows shaped how I act and do stuff now a days. Even my crudy punchlines, similar to Benders which is probably why I'm a borderline alcoholic and cigar smoker.
I was stuck in the crossfire of the greatest cartoon generation of all time. With moral and ethical battles in each episode with a tad (or bunch) of adult humor - it made my growing up that much easier during the 'Housing Crisis', two wars overseas and consistently eating Mac N Cheese and Hotdogs for about 5 meals a week.
