Today's blog goes out to Craig Bartlett, creator of the underrated animated series Hey Arnold! The urban Charlie Brown ('Footballhead'?

The TV show was really about a lively Brooklyn-esque neighborhood, and one good kid that made the neighborhood a better place for everybody.

I couldn't confirm the rumor that he started working for NASA after he left Nick, but I do know he's got a new PBS kids series, called Dinosaur Train. Soon as my son's 4, we'll probably be watching it all the time. Incidentally, his wife is Lisa Groening Bartlett - yes, her brother Matt named Lisa Simpson after her.

- For decades (and under several names), this man has written in a variety of media, on a panoply of subjects, in an attempt to demarcate the cacophany of the universe. Despite the failure of several ventures, and the gravitational pull of reality, this man is unable to refrain from writing. Seriously, the dude has a problem. An intervention seems inevitable.
