Excerpt: Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series follows the adventures of a late 20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century. The series was envisioned by Groening in the 1990s while working on The Simpsons, later bringing Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox. In the United States, the series aired on Fox from March 28, 1999 to August 10, 2003 before ceasing production. Futurama was then aired in reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2007, until the network's contract expired. It was revived in 2007 as four straight-to-DVD films; the last of the four was released in early 2009. Comedy Central entered into an agreement with 20th Century Fox Television to syndicate the existing episodes and air the films as 16 new, half-hour episodes. Comedy Central began airing Futurama on January 2, 2008, with new episodes starting on March 23, 2008. In June 2009, producing studio 20th Century Fox announced that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes, of which the first half began airing from June 24, 2010. The remaining thirteen episodes began airing on...Green Themes in Animated Cinema and Television Deidre M. Pike. “How a Mosquito Operates” (1912). ... “Into the Wild Green Yonder.” Futurama.

This book takes an ecrocritical approach to analytical readings of animated feature films, short subjects and television shows. Beginning with the “simply subversive” environmental messages in the Felix the Cat cartoons of the 1920s, the author examines “green” themes in such popular animated film efforts as Bambi (1942), The Simpsons Movie (2007), Wall-E (2008) and Happy Feet (2008), as well as James Cameron’s live action/animation blockbuster Avatar (2009). The discussion extends beyond American films to include the works of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, including the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (2002). Also evaluated for their pro-ecological content are the television cartoon series South Park and Futurama. The appendix provides a list of film and television titles honored with the Environmental Media Award for Animation.... the gorged creature to burst, covering his hands and genitals in a mixture of his and the animal's blood. This episode echoes In Into the Wild Green Yonder (2009) in the Futurama.

Armed with razor-sharp teeth and capable of drinking many times its volume of blood, the leech is an unlikely cure for ill health. Yet that is exactly the role this worm-like parasite has played in both Western and Eastern medicine throughout history. In this book, Robert G. W. Kirk and Neil Pemberton explore how the leech surfaces in radically different spheres. The ancients used them in humeral medicine to bring the four humors of the body—blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile—back into balance. Today, leeches are used in plastic and reconstructive surgery to help reattach severed limbs and remove pools of blood before it kills tissue. Leeches have also been used in a nineteenth-century meteorological barometer and a twentieth-century biomedical tool that helped win a Nobel Prize. Kirk and Pemberton also reveal the dark side of leeches as they are portrayed in fiction, film, and popular culture. From Bram Stoker’s Dracula to a video game player’s nemesis, the leech is used to represent the fears of science run amok. Leech shines new light on one of humanity’s most enduring and unlikely companions.Eirik Gumeny. “All good things must come to an end.

From living god Eirik Gumeny (CRACKED, THE NEW YORK TIMES) comes BLACK HOLE, SON! The fifth and final book in the EXPONENTIAL APOCALYPSE series! Following the events of REVENGE-ARONI, Thor Odinson and Queen Victoria XXX find themselves world famous and living high on the hog -- assuming that hog is depressed, a little agoraphobic, and literally high. But then! Explosions! Punching! Some other stuff! Hijinks -- and hilariousness and terrible awryness -- ensue. A note to new readers: This is not for you. This is not the place to start fresh. (You're gonna want to click on one of the links below for that; Book One, Two, or Three should work just fine.) This here is a coda to the last ten years of EXPONENTIAL APOCALYPSE. A swan song, a last waltz, a tearful goodbye. BLACK HOLE, SON! is for the folks who want to see how it all ends. Not well, obviously. P.S. BLACK HOLE, SON! is also the shortest book in the series. More of a novella, really. A little shy of 25K words. So, you know, be ready for that.Since no new Futurama projects were in production, the movie Into the Wild Green Yonder was designed to stand as the Futurama series finale. However, Groening had expressed a desire to continue the Futurama franchise in some form, ...
