Simpsons and Futurama Make Good Anime (As Does Calvin and Hobbes!)
If you haven’t seen the work of Space Coyote yet, you probably will soon. The anime renditions of the entire Simpsons clan have started opening a few doors. These are essentially reverse caricatures, or re-caricatures, pulling the main identifying features from one genre to another. Space Coyote is very good at this, and continues to draw Matt Groening characters, as well as other well known and stylistic cartoon icons like Calvin and Hobbes.

I keep struggling with the title of this post, because I know that the Japanese style of drawing is called Manga and that the animation is called Anime. Simpsons is an animated cartoon, so it would translate into Anime. However, this is a drawing, so *technically* it should be called Manga. Calvin and Hobbes should be called Manga for sure, but it makes for a very long and awkward title. Please forgive me.
