On a serious note, I recall asking my mother why Cartoon Network had so many guns. All the old 80's/90's cartoons included bad guys in orange clothes, guns and stuff about dollar-bills. My mom tried to explain that America was a far-away-country that had different morals when it came to humans. She drew the line when I started painting 'a seat with a bowl-hat with wires that makes you sleepy', which I thought was a massage-chair. From that day on, I wasn't allowed to watch the cartoons unless mom sat nearby to explain. She didn't want me thinking that deathpenalties were normal.

[@SirEriol]

Your mom did a good job in that regard.

@@SirEriol Thanks haha. I was about 8 when I discovered Cartoon Network, before that, she had VHS-tapes with pre-recorded films and episodes that I watched. Most of it from the 60's and 70's, so I have a childhood that is really vintagey-retro. I can talk to 50-60-year olds about their childhood and relate to it. Really weird.

I'd start hitting my sister over the head with a book, because Tom and Jerry did it, or I'd start jumping off of things or running, because in the cartoon they did it too. And whenever she put on a calm, 'let's read a story together'-video instead (or even better, a casette-tape with Bert and Ernie) I'd sit still and draw for about an hour or two.
