There are never enough cartoons about Space Squid

Very cute. I haven't seen "Courage" in ages.

i laughed, i cried, it made my day.

Definitely one of the best Courage episodes ever, and definitely the most touching.

Ohmigosh! I love this show-- "Courage the Cowardly Dog" was so great, I miss it almost as much as "Powerpuff Girls." T^T

Speaking of cephalopod weirdness, here's VOCALOID Megurine Luka... as an octopus. :P

Is it wrong that this makes me wonder how space squid populations got so low? I can tell inbreeding is going to be a problem. The population is probably too unstable to reliably continue its existence. So sad.

Ah, the 2nd Golden Age of cartoons...Courage, Dexter, Powerpuffs....CN almost had a revival going on, then it was quickly snuffed out by the Goliath known as Spongebob before it even started.

This definitely caused massive nostalgia. Really, they don't make cartoons like this anymore; now it's child-friendly garbage or the monotonous anime movement. Thanks, PZ, this made my day.

Why did you have to repost this? I love Courage, but this episode makes me bawl every damn time.

#21 - You seem to be assuming they reproduce sexually rather than asexually.

Speaking of cartoons, I spotted this over at comics.com a few days ago.

I thought for sure I would see it here by now.

Over the Hedge is one of my favorite cartoons about animals.

Just call her Takoluka...

You know, I have seen this episode...
It is not my favorite episode, I being a former (i.e., currently inactive) amateur astronomer, and I found the cosmology and astronomy to be very silly.
