LINK 'Samurai Jack' Is Probably the Most Beautiful, Inventive Cartoon Ever - VICE

We are a storytelling species.

:-----:

"Samurai Jack always walked a fine line between macabre meditation on grief and regret, social satire, and overt screwball comedy. In the new season, Tartakovsky dropped us in the deep end, exploring the growing madness of a man kept out of time, place, and self for more than 50 years—stuck in a nightmare of death and escape. Samurai Jack has PTSD, of course he does. And Tartakovsky bring this to us not through internal monologue, or the observations of smarmy sidekicks, but through hallucinatory hellscapes of corpses and slaughter, of a literal schizophrenic projection of Jack's hate and self-pity."

In my university's Office of Religious Life, I was the staff advisor to the student atheist group (I was called "the atheist chaplain" ). I explained to the other groups that I felt Samurai Jack was a wonderful example to me of humanist values to aspire to.

Yes, it was, and it appears the new one will continue with similar quality. Yay!
