In the cartoon world trees are thought to be “brown” with “green” leaves. Which is why so many cartoons have unsubtle pure brown and green trees — and blue skies. If you actually look at any trees, very few are actually “brown”. Again — the psychological danger of thinking of art in terms of the simple words we use to describe things. Words are crappy artists.

“It’s a natural impulse for us to bond with friends. We bowl with our neighbors and party with them — even if they are not the most interesting folks in the city. Today’s networks have come to realize this. They will leave a boring series on the air long past the period where they aren’t getting ratings — because the audience will soon get used to the characters and accept them and even believe they are entertaining.”
