History

In 2025, Amid Amidi sold Cartoon Brew, LLC to Jamie Lang, who had previously been the site's editor-in-chef for two years. [3] After acquisition, Lang returned to the editor-in-chef position, and also assumed the roles of owner and publisher of the company. [4]

Reception

The site has published news articles, commentaries and reviews regarding the animation industry. [5] The Comics Beat called it the "essential cartoon blog", [6] while animator Francis Glebas cited it as "the place to go for the latest in animation news". [7] [8]

Cartoon Dump

It also created Cartoon Dump , a weekly podcast showing poorly made TV cartoons featuring Mystery Science Theater 3000 's Frank Conniff. [9]

Cartoon Research

Beck departed from the site in February 2013 and began writing for his first blog, Cartoon Research, instead. [8] [10] [11]
