Cartoon heroes and personalities
During the last week I've dedicated more time to vector graphics experiments, that being a part of my migration from Corel Draw to Inkscape. So far I made some illustrations for a new poem that I wrote (it will be published soon), and the faces of two cartoon characters: Samurai Jack, and Gadget Hackwrench. The drawings are shared via OpenClipart, but they are not made public yet, as it seems there are some potential issues with publishing images of copyrighted cartoon characters. Until that is straightened out, the images can be found on this site (you need a browser that supports the SVG format).

Current versions of Opera and Firefox support SVG natively, so there is no need to install additional software.
If your browser cannot render SVG files, you need to install Adobe SVG Viewer: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html (you’ll need this if you use Internet Explorer)

Konqueror, too, renders the SVGs just fine :)
I agree that cartoons, especially those viewed regularly at young ages, have an immense influence on the way a child’s personality develops (plus one can learn English.)
It would be interesting to do a side-by-side comparison of an old Russian / soviet cartoon and an American one. I bet myriads of subtle ideological ideas can be uncovered.
I feel thankful that I grew up with Cartoon Network!

Of course I meant ‘ideological details’ instead of that pleonasm. Should’ve used the Preview button…
