Radical Cute

As the Nick Jr. line up goes, the cutest thing right after Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! has to be Wonder Pets. Each episode follows the adventures of three classroom pets, Linny the Guinea Pig, Ming-Ming Duckling, and Turtle Tuck, who travel around the globe helping to rescue baby animals that need their help all while singing. With no super-powers the team has to work together in order to solve problems.

When my friend Rita Street suggested we start searching out cute cartoons for girls from 8 to 18 (or 80), it fit right into some stuff we’d been talking about around the office, where Cute Overlaod (and every other cutness blog is a huge hit (yes, someone has too much time on their hands).

So I figured I’d kick things off with one of the projects we’re working on, one of the truly cutest shows on Earth right now: Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Bob Boyle’s new show on Nick Jr.. I think Bob can’t help it, no matter what he draws, whether it’s Wubbzy or the characters from his boys’ comedy show on Jetix, Yin Yang Yo!.
