does any one else have issues with others going on about it? If people didnt want older people to watch cartoons they shouldnt have made them so DAMN BRILLANT!!!!

Cartoons often contain jokes that only adults understand, thus cartoons are not just for kids indeed

My manager at work teases me sometimes for liking cartoons. On the rare occurrence she sees me wearing one of my Foster's t-shirts, she always has to make some kind of remark about it. My dad isn't entirely understanding about my liking cartoons, either. I just keep trying to remind him that animation is a form of art, and the shows aren't produced and put together by kids. No, all the work is done by adults! Adults who, like me, enjoy animation so much, they got jobs working in the industry.

Oddly enough, I seldom catch any flack from other adults for liking animation, but from KIDS. I guess that the more immature someone is, the more intolerant and narrow-minded they are. Now, I know that all teens aren't immature; some of them seriously outrank many adults when it comes to sound, intelligent and logical thoughts, but like I said, the people I've encountered, whether in person or on the 'net, who are most agitated by the notion of an adult watching animation other than Anime or prime time stuff that they consider "adult", are kids.

They used to sell quite an extensive range (extensive in terms of quantity, though not necessarily in diversity) at Hot Topic. Recently, Hot Topic appears to have been phasing out their Foster's line (with the show itself drawing to a close, it kind of figures), though you can still find a few upon the website if you do a search.

To get back on the cartoons-are-for-adults-too, does anyone remember the episode of Rocko's Modern Life in which Rocko is working at a call centre?
