Kevin was the OG Hexbearian:

  • Bike enthusiast
  • Famous for his sarcastic, cynical personality
  • Actually a decent guy, all he wanted was for the Eds to stop running unethical businesses and will get along well with Edd or Ed as long as they weren't with Eddy
  • Treated as 'the bad guy' for the last point by the show, despite his noble goals.

I think this is a French cartoon about the gauls

Asterix & Obelix is a thing, yeah. Mostly as comics with a pop-history setting that a lot of European children have read, including me.

The 60s film adaptations and the 1975 original animated film are actually worth watching imo, the rest is mid. Just like the comic itself since main writer René Goscinny died in the early 80s.

Unfortunately, volume 1 is from 1958 and also depicts black people, so you can guess how they're made to look. The artstyle is unchanged since then.

I don't remember this show being very good. It had its moments like Johnny and Plank but was otherwise pretty paint by numbers kids cartoon. Edd sometimes said some funny smart things.

Hard disagree. Not even going to go into specifics, this take is just wrong.

Courage the cowardly dog and dexters laboratory were my jam. This cartoon was too uncanny for me to enjoy.

Like Johnny Bravo the concept was lost on kid me but I can appreciate them more now
