Cartoon Disassembly 101: Session 1 (guest blog series)

Image
The following was originally written by the homie Galen Henderson... With his permission, and in response to a Facebook status message about how comically asinine the villains' plots were on Voltron while snowed in this weekend led him to share this piece with me. With his permission, I am presenting it to the two of you.
There are surely more parts to this series, but I will be sharing the all of them with you complete with link.[Phlip note - that was it for all of them right there]
And now we will get right down to business...


Aight y'all, class is in session and the Teacher is about to speak. The first victims of dissection this morning are Scooby Doo and The Superfriends (all versions of them).

First thing’s first.  No one is paying me to post this. [Note: if you want to, though, the PayPal link is on the left]
Now that we got THAT out of the way, let’s get down to it. September 2014, my iPod Nano finally succumbed to too many drops and started to bust open at the top.  I had gotten it second hand and I was not about to lay out the cash for any Apple product at the time.
I went with the Sony NWZ-E380 Walkman and it served me masterfully for years.  Gym duty, outdoor workouts, sitting on the couch reading/writing, yard work and most importantly, DAILY droning out of office chatter.
“Well why don’t you use your phone for all that, Phlip?”
Thanks for asking, I USED to use my phones for all of that, but I found myself in possession of charger-dependent phones due to the constant need of charge due to 8-hours-a-day constant usage.
Anyway.  Syncing the Sony last week brought me to the realization that it has met its demise.
I sent it on to glory (did you sing that line?  I did!) and ju…
