GAG ME WITH A TOON 2: HARDER! FASTER! RADDER! GAG ME WITH A TOON, not the mold, but the twin! It’s the second go-round for this glorious show in which pop cartoon art is all that we know. The original rocked but what shall we do it’s time to install what we call GAG TWO? How is it HARDER? Because of the people whom we have corralled under our ink-stained steeple. These artists are strong and accepted the task of eclipsing what we have recently passed! How is it FASTER? We tempted the fates and shortened the time in-between GAG ME dates! How is it RADDER? Is that even a word? I’ll leave that to Webster and remain undeterred to exhort you and your cronies to meet in the rear of the place we call Meltdown in the fifth month of the year where we shall show you dangers and demons, cereal mascots and spinach-filled sea men, double the lions that form into knights, brilliant blue dwarves and robotic lights. We’ve multiplied madness and aggrandized our art, now it is up to you to come do your part! Drink with two fists and view with two eyes this wonderful show that is littered with lies. But this is line is truth, lest I burn in the fire; within these walls you’ll find much to admire. GAG ME WITH A TOON NUMBER TWO is the name! Don’t hate on this sequel. It’s not more of the same.
