That’s why I was over the top excited to discover Natazilla, the Tumblr of Natasha Allegri, a character designer for the show and all around awesome artist. Lumpy Space Princess, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline the Vampire Queen (among others) provide protagonists Finn the human and Jake the dog with adventures to carry out on their behalf, whether it be saving a damsel in distress or acquiring some sort of valuable prize to bring back, but are hardly ever invited along. When scouring the animated cast for a character to honor in our Pop Pedestal series I realized, somewhat tardily, that all the female characters I found awesome were princesses and queens that merely provided the catalyzing events for the adventures in each episode. Lately, however, I’ve been a bit disheartened by the show. Ever since a friend first introduced me to the Cartoon Network show Adventure Timea few months ago I’ve been hooked, taking many pains in my cable-less life to catch the new episodes every week.
