What's That, Sonny?

I like to think that I’m up on most of the big cartoon trends and topics, but then my latest issue of Wired shows up yesterday and makes me feel like an old man yelling at kids to get off of my lawn.

Neil Gaiman interviews the creators of The Gorillaz, which I can best describe as sort of a modern twist on Alvin and the Chipmunks for the remix generation.

I haven’t checked out any of their music, and I probably won’t (I’m listening to Nat King Cole on my patio as I write this), but it’s damn disturbing that something this big passes me by without me even knowing it’s there.

For those who doubt cartooning’s future, rest assured it’s safe, if unrecognizable at first.
