You'd be quieter if you switched to crossbows.

I find it amusing that people consider us to be sad at finding an animated character attractive, when in fact, history has been laced with cartoons designed to draw sex appeal. Frankie is no different, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it's no different then finding a comic book character attractive.

Consider Minerva Mink from Animaniacs, or Lola Bunny from Space Jam (Looney Tunes) and tell me how an obvious sexual appeal can't be noticed in the way they are drawn? Or want a better example? Jessica Rabbit, nuff said! A fantasy is just that, a fantasy and there's no harm in having one unless it causes harm to someone.

Frankie isn't the first toon (if you consider this style of animation to be "toony") that I've found attraction in, but again like you said Medi, alot of it has to do with Frankie's personality and the fact she's just such a generally sweet nature to her. She's always been friendly and supportive with Mac.

I say there's nothing wrong with loving something or someone, be it fictional or factual, unless it's causing some kind of harm to someone else. Otherwise, keep those praises coming ^^.

Phew! I finally read the last 7 pages.

It wasn't homework, he was trying to figure out which train would get him back home the fastest! Frankie just assumed it was homework because of how he said it...Plus the fact that word problems in math sound like that.

And why do you guys say that Goofball was a jerk? I, personally, don't think so...Though I probably shouldn't've said that. XD What with your army of crossbow-wielding fans....

Watch the episode again. I only call him a jerk because Forum Rules prohibit me from calling him something a bit more descriptive.

Goofball isn't a jerk...he's a "EXPLICIT DELETED".

No just kidding, but the reason he is by all accounts a jerk was because he purposely and I repeat PURPOSELY went out of his way to bug the crap out of Frankie. Bloo has never been as lazy, rude, or insensitive to people's feelings as Goofball is. Don't get me wrong, Bloo can be a real pain, no doubt.

But Goofball knew he was being rude to Frankie and he did everything that would set her off, just minutes after she fixed/cleaned something. Frankie was harped on by everyone (even though she was wrong in the end), it wasn't right for everyone to so quickly doubt her or to think she was slacking off.

Herriman, I can see. I am not surprised by his behavior in the least bit but everyone else was a surprise. The set up was obviously to shock us all into realizing that Goofball IS an imaginary friend, but that doesn't change the manner in which he treated Frankie or how he so carelessly aggravated her.

His species doesn't change his attitude. There are good people and bad people in the world, imaginary friends are no different. Look at Bendy.

my mistake then. Canadian accents sound funny to folks like me from down southways, so I guess I misheard.

A good example of how the writers tried too hard to convince the viewer he was not an imaginary friend, though.

Very well said, Mr. Marshmallow. There was a lot of inexcusable behaviour in that episode. To this day I can't bear to watch it again.
