Cartoons are not just for kids

I've heard many an adult ask me why I still like cartoons? I'm an adult now, I have to stick to watching reality shows and sitcoms that need laugh tracks to actually make you feel like what they said was funny. Cartoons are not just a media for kids. Who do you think creates the cartoons? People fail to see how cartoons can have heart and an actual storyline, not just ask you where the map is. The creators of shows like Alex Hirsch, Rebecca Sugar, Pendleton Ward, Patrick Hale, etc. don't take almost a year for each episode to have giggles from small children. There is purpose behind their work. Alex Hirsch stated that he made Gravity Falls for him and what he would want to watch on television. The cartoons today like Over the Garden Wall, Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Steven Universe, Legend of Korra, etc. aren't just kids shows. They have emotion and depth in their episodes and honestly I wished more adults would see the heart in these shows.
