Cuphead and his pal Mugman, they like to roll the dice

 Further to my last-but-one blog post, the latest cartoon I've been enjoying is The Cuphead Show. And I'm fascinated to see that seasons 1 and 3 are rated PG, with the warning "Rude humour, threat", while season 2 gets a U certificate but the extended caution "Rude humour, dangerous behaviour, violence, threat". I'm not sure which season is more unsafe to watch, based on this.

It's a good cartoon, though, in an uneven kind of way. But I've only watched the first season so far, and maybe it improves. Anything inspired (via a video game) by Max Fleischer cartoons has to be worth a watch, at least. And the game itself was great-looking and not as great to play as it probably should have been. I'm just too picky, possibly. And rude.

Anton's Syndrome is no laughing matter

 To commemorate its eighteenth anniversary, I would like to provide the answer to the riddle posed by this story. Henry, as the reader can easily deduce from his depiction throughout the text, is the type of person who would ensure the ceilings of his home are a colour that no human being could under any circumstances ever express dissatisfaction with. When the Archbishop of York said he didn't like them, Henry realised that the Archbishop must be blind and not be personally aware of it. So making him believe he'd fed paupers to hungry lions was a simple matter of Henry making the appropriate noises.

I'd intended to include that explanation in the story, but then decided it would be funnier not to.
