It was Comic Con at Home 2021 this weekend. It was not the week of activities, excitement, and connection that I’ve come to love about SDCC, but I did learn a few things. This year was all about the animated TV shows. There’s a Star Trek cartoon for kids, a musical animation for adults, and a dark stop motion animation featuring baby dolls…that sing. There were also a few classic cartoon reboots that fall in various places along the continuum of staying true to the classic version and re-imagining for a contemporary audience.
No big music news this week as my attention was elsewhere, but next week we’ve got Paste Studio on the Road in Chicago with livestreams with Black Pistol Fire, ALY & AJ, grandon, Dermot Kennedy and more!
