(The following gripe-chost is not directed at the original artist, nothingdoingcomic, so much as general grousing, to be clear in advance. That now having been said...)
It kind of irks me that if the alt-text gets sufficiently large, at least on the mobile site, tapping the image to enlarge it so I can read the text/see the art better instead blasts me with all of the alt-text and no image whatsoever. I assume this is a known issue (I definitely recall seeing complaints, months ago, about images getting smaller when the alt-text gets longer), but this has to be the most hilariously egregious example I've yet seen.

Cartoon Network had this segment where you could call the station and Johnny Bravo would play a cartoon you requested on Sundays. I remember seeing it a few times. Famously, an episode featured Johnny Bravo fast-forwarding through a DBZ episode to fit it into the time slot.

It needs to be said that this is legendary, this is a personal white whale, I've been wanting to see this for years. My notifications were explosive when I woke up because everyone I know had to tell me. I've been saying for years that if I ever get terminally ill I would start cashing in favors with friends to start a viral grassroots movement to get the Johnny Bravo DBZ commentary released because I needed to see this before I die.

And now I have. There's been a six second clip of it floating around for a long while now and the full commentary is, surprisingly, only a few seconds longer than this. But it was never about the length. We knew he was fast-forwarding the episode. I just really, really needed to hear Johnny Bravo say "Goku" and "Frieza." I needed to hear it with my own ears. I'm content. I feel like I can die happy.

We apparently owe it all to "someone's mom who worked on this show." A Mother's Day gift FROM a mom is a fucked up thing to receive.

Now if I get to make a wish with the Make-a-Wish Foundation it's gonna have to be for the F-Zero GX cutscene songs.

it is depressing and kind of terrifying to think about how much media from just a couple decades ago is probably lost forever. things i can still remember with crystal clarity, things i feel like i watched yesterday, just... gone. there are so many shitty VHS rips on YouTube that may very well be the last existing copy of their respective media
