Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Although the pandemic has really hit a lot of us hard, we must try to stay vigilant and try to keep our eyes glued to some cartoons as much as possible! No really, as morale drops and we feel pressure from the powers that be, try to find a place to go to keep you from falling into that dark cavern that is emptiness and depression.

As we go into a new year, have hope and joy for the things that we do have and the things that are coming over the horizon. Because even though things look bleak, our best days are yet to come! Although I work full-time as a software developer, I do try to keep ToonJet updated with new cartoons and content when I have a second or two in order to keep that dark, empty cavern lit with our favorite cartoons. I made a commitment years ago to try to track down some of my favorite cartoons of yesteryear and share them, and I hope to continue to hold up that commitment.

So, here's to a new year with new cartoons to look forward to. Share them with your friends, and if you have kids, be sure to pass on our glorious toony history with them as well! God bless you and your family, and here's to a fruitful new year!
