It’s time for the Cartoon of the Month prize to go out! I’m excited to announce that Gabe Swarr’s What the Shell?!?! is our April Winner! What the Shell?!?! is a perfect example of what happens when a particular Koopa Trooper gets fed up with Mario’s squashing antics. The results change Mario forever!

Congratulations Carlos Ramos for winning the March Cartoon of the Month for Channel Frederator! Carlos’s short, Twins Crimson is one of the many “Oh Yeah! Cartoons” shorts that Frederator produced with Nickelodeon. This oldie, but goodie, is still going strong with our Channel Frederator Fans.
Twins Crimson rated highest among all of the cartoons to run in February, which included episodes 118, 119, 120 and 121. Head on back to episode 121 to re-watch Twins Crimson. Also check out a great writeup that Fred did about Carlos a while back, here.
