Greetings, I’m Amid, the founder of Cartoon Brew.
Important Announcement
Today marks a significant change as Cartoon Brew has been sold. As of today, I will no longer hold the roles of publisher or editor-in-chief, nor will I engage in the company’s operations.
Transition to New Leadership
The positive news is that Cartoon Brew will continue as an independent media outlet. The new owner is Jamie Lang, whom many of you may recognize as the former editor-in-chief. Jamie has penned nearly 1,500 articles and will resume his position as of July 1.
Commitment to Quality and Independence
In a time dominated by corporate-run media and AI-generated content, Cartoon Brew stands out as a vital resource. I’ve always wanted the platform to uphold its values, supported by people who share my passion for animation.
Continuity of Our Team
Our dedicated team, including Katie and Aric in sales and technology, will remain on board. Many of our talented writers will also continue to contribute, ensuring we uphold our high standards.
Looking Ahead
I have full confidence in Cartoon Brew’s future. Jamie embodies the spirit and mission of the site, and I’m eager to see how it evolves under his leadership. For the first time, I’ll be enjoying Cartoon Brew as a reader, which excites me greatly.
Personal Reflections
While I’m uncertain about my next steps, I will continue to pursue creative risks. If you want to keep in touch, visit my site AmidAmidi.com, where I’ll share updates on my projects, including a biography of animation icon Ward Kimball.
Gratitude to Our Community
Thank you to all of you readers. This journey would not have been possible without your support. I hope the community continues to thrive and engage with Cartoon Brew as it has for the past 21 years, supporting the entire ecosystem of this incredible art form.
