It’s hard to determine the best Adult Swim TV shows, as there have been so many of them over the last decade.

Evil TV and Movie Presidents
Presidents as the “bad guy” are a trope that shows up in movies and TV shows all the time. While there are plenty of president TV shows and president movies, only a select few explore the plot mechanism that exists in an evil president. Presidents make the perfect villain—instead of being outside the law, they control it. He has the power of a whole country on his side, including the police. The “good guy” is left outside the law, fighting against everyone and their bad reputation to try to save the day. What makes presidents the perfect villain is that the hero of the story can rarely truly beat them, they can only thwart them for the day. Below is a list of the most evil TV and movie presidents that we love to hate.

Marvel’s Civil War 2, a Copy of the First?
Marvel Comics just wrapped up their big event in Civil War 2. Just like the original, it had dire consequences for the entire Marvel Comic book Universe. While not a direct sequel to the original, it does make references to its predecessor within it. In addition, it follows the same formula almost to a T. There is nothing wrong with that, as the first Civil War storyline was very enthralling and changed the dynamic of the Marvel Universe at the time. If it ain't broke, then no need to fix it. Time to compare the two.

Lose No Sleep Over 'Lost Boys II: The Tribe'
When I think of the movies that influenced my nubile mind during the 80’s the campy horror flick LOST BOYS leaps to the foreground, fangs, feathered hair and all! There is a certain self-deprecating dark humor that 80’s horror movies have that current films of the same genre often have a hard time capturing. Perhaps it was the prevalence of neon colored spandex, vinyl and Max Headroom sunglasses or a residual Miami Vice spray paint and cocaine induced high that allowed director and actors the ability to laugh at themselves in just the right ways while poking repeated fun at the plasticized culture around them. Whatever it was, 80’s horror films are unmistakable treasures, defining symbols of the era’s cultural sharp attitude.

Blacksad
Blacksad is the award winning series of Spanish/French graphic novels by artist Juanjo Guarnido and writer Juan Díaz Canales of a 1950's America where anthropomorphic animals take the place of humanity, starring the perpetually unemployed Private-eye and black cat named Blacksad and his weasel sidekick Weekly. Despite this major difference, the world has mostly followed a similar path to ours. WW2, the Manhattan Project, the Red Scare, the Civil Rights movement, the rise of the Klu Klux Klan, and the Beat Poet movement all occur as they did in our world, only with animals standing in for historical figures or certain social-political groups.

Evolution of Children's Toys
It can be difficult to comprehend that there was even a time when toys were considered to be somewhat of a luxury item. In fact, prior to the 20th century, children had very few toy options available. The children from these early generations spent much of their time helping with simple household or outdoor chores. In those early times before there really ever was a legitimate children’s toy market; parents were forced to innovate their own objects for children to play with. Thus, some ancient cultures even resorted to using the remnants of animal carcasses to create balls, and many other entertaining objects like dice fashioned out of knuckle bones. As each century ran its course, toys continued to advance, and the evolution of children’s toys has progressed to a level that those previous generations could only have dreamt of.
