(Apatoons #140, April-May 2006)

What's new around here: (April, 2008): Our APA has published its 150th issue, making us just about the longest-running anything associated with animation fandom. And we're still going strong. More details about our new issue soon. Meanwhile, we're still looking for new members--if you'd like more info, e-mail us. What's new around here: (May, 2006): Apatoons is 25! With our new issue, #140, we're celebrating a quarter-century of publication--an accomplishment which few if any publications about animated cartoons have reached. It's hard to believe that we've been doing this since 1981, but that's when Don Markstein and GiGi Dane got it all started. Even in the Internet age, the apa is flourishing, but we still have slots for new members. If you'd like to be part of one of the most interesting, informative, and fun projects in the whole world of cartoons, check out this page. Incidentally, the fact that Apatooners still enjoy publishing their thoughts on dead trees doesn't mean that they're anti-Internet. In fact, many of us operate blogs and other online destinations you might like. What's new around here: (June, 2005): Just a few quick updates around the site--and a reminder that Apatoons has slots for new members. Join us!
