HEWWO!! Penny here, super late to this party, but happy to be here! I was stumped on what to draw for a while because I was saturated in 90s cartoons and it’s really hard to choose just one. I finally settled on 90s-fabulous Bruce Timm Poison Ivy! The DC cartoon universe of that decade is an old friend o’ mine.
1. If you could be in your favorite 90s cartoon, what would it be, and who would you relate to the most in that show?
There are so many great shows, but I have to go with Beetlejuice! I love the idea of alternate worlds, and the slightly spooky but always goofy vibe of that show is a big influence on me even now! I relate a lot to cartoon Lydia, who was always pretty friendly and down-to-earth despite the kookiness of the show.
2. Was there a toy during the commercials that you couldn’t live without?
Hmm, I don’t remember many toys from that time, but I recall loving all the crazy goops that Nickelodeon produced - Gak, floam, slime and the like.
3. Which character was your LEAST favorite, and what would you say to them if you had the chance?
Demona from Gargoyles always frustrated me, I just wanted to tell her to get over herself! (Probably not at all because I was shipping Goliath and Elisa hardcore even as a wee preteen.)
Come hang out with me at my:

The First Pressure-Sensitive iPad Stylus Might Just Outperform Your Fingers
Ten One Design’s Pogo was one of the first styluses designed for use with iOS devices. But compared to the company’s new pressure-sensitive super stylus code-named the Blue Tiger, the Pogo looks like something cavemen would have used on their stone tablets.
The Pogo Sketch stylus promises to add tablet-like functionality for laptop’s multi-touch trackpad (YES, including the Macbook). While it… Read…
Artists tend to prefer working with a stylus since it feels more like a paintbrush or a pencil. Which is why Wacom’s tablet hardware is so popular in the creative community. And while the iPad isn’t lacking in fantastic drawing, sketching, and painting software, it has been lacking a stylus that can compare to Wacom’s offerings.
But the Blue Tiger will. Using a low-power Bluetooth 4.0 connection it wirelessly connects to your iOS device without requiring a massive battery. And as long as an app supports it, the Blue Tiger can accurately relay information about how hard you’re pressing. Which lets artists do things like vary the thickness of a stroke based simply on how they use the stylus.
You can put your credit cards back in your pocket for now, though. The final design, details, pricing, and even the stylus’ name have yet to be finalized. So it’s going to be a while before it’s available or even shipped off to the FCC for approval. But I really hope they end up keeping that awesome-sounding Blue Tiger moniker.

MAKE IT SO.
Hello! I’m Jackie, illustrator/concept designer and graphic designer. I’m currently working a on my own 2D game project (and perhaps webcomic) know as “Project Sweet.”
The 90s had a lot of good animation blocks and shows, especially on Saturdays with Fox Kids and ABC’s One Saturday Morning. Even there some good edutainment ones like “Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?” and “Captain Planet.” I liked to learn new things back then and still do. Also during the 90s, I got introduced to anime like Sailor Moon and Samurai Pizza Cats. I was happy that Toonami came along and got even more exposure to it. :)
1. If you could be in your favorite 90s cartoon, what would it be, and who would you relate to the most in that show?
This is a really difficult one, but would say Daria. I mostly relate to Jane for being the artistic one. I also relate to Daria for not caring about cliques or trying to be fit in with the “in” crowd. I like being smart and creative.
2. Was there a toy during the commercials that you couldn’t live without?
Tamagotchi. I got one for Christmas. It lived for about 56 days (1 day = 1 year for Tamagotchi), battery died. ): I just left it alone.
3. Which character was your LEAST favorite, and what would you say to them if you had the chance?
Rhonda from Hey Arnold. I know a lot of girls were like her, always caring about their looks, bragging about how much stuff they had because their parents are rich, looking down upon people because they’re “in” with the “in crowd”. She really needs to be careful with that kind of attitude and beware of karma. :)
New Team 90 members are killin’ me, they are so amazing!
