This is the second issue of four in Jim Henson’s The StoryTeller Witches. The first one was great and I was skeptical if the second could continue the journey. It does. The StoryTeller Witches are four standalone tales of witches that are in the same vein as The StoryTeller series back in the late 80’s. Back then it was a TV show, now it’s a comic book mini-series.

The Force is strong with this giveaway. Fans that saw Star Wars in movie theaters back in the day were thrown for a loop when they announced that a cartoon would be made. Dismay, anger and puzzlement ensued. However, we saw Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion and were incredibly surprised at how good it was. Put the light sabers away, this movie and this show does the classic story justice and will entertain all ages.

Adventure Time: The Complete Fourth Season comes out on Blu-ray and DVD on October 7. We don’t have cable so I had never seen it prior to receiving the DVD. I was familiar with the name due to comic books, but was unfamiliar as to how large of a presence they have. However, just a look at the show makes me realize that this is something that I should like. I asked the neighborhood boys who are 7 and 10, if they liked Adventure Time. I was met with a resounding YES and they are not alone after watching it.

The Storyteller Witches #1 is an interesting comic. It has Jim Henson’s name above it and is published by Archaia, who handles all of the Fraggle Rock comics, so the bar and fond memories are set high. Think Dark Crystal and this is in the same vein. Better yet, think The Storyteller television series that Henson created from the late 80’s and you have a much better idea of the tone and expectations of The Storyteller Witches #1.

The Simpsons Family History: A Celebration of Television’s Favorite Family is not what I expected but I am 100% OK with that. I expected a blow by blow account of how each episode is made and some photos from the animators and voice over artists doing their craft. In reality the book is soup to nuts how Marge and Homer met, fell in love, had kids and found Santa’s Little Helper. It features art that is taken from the source that reminds viewers of the art that is at the root of the longest-running American sitcom, longest-running animated series and longest- running primetime scripted series.

Time is a merciless foe and a constant reminder of bad hairstyles, questionable clothing choices and music that you can’t believe you once loved. Some of those things that celebrate anniversaries are great and timeless- unlike those epaulets from the 80s. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and to celebrate they’re doing all sorts of fun things, giving away lots of stuff, having a #Cinnablast and ending with a big ole birthday brunch in Austin, Texas.

As summer turns to fall and the kids go back to school I’m thinking about the great things we did the past three months. During our summer vacation we spent some time with the family and a handful of 7-13 year olds. Because not every day was sunny, they had to watch television and it was at this time that I was reminded of how superior Pee-Wee’s Playhouse was to every children’s live action show ever made.
