If You Aren’t Watching Victor and Valentino Yet, Now’s the Time to Start

Cartoon Network’s Victor and Valentino—from creator Diego Molano—is a testament to the idea that the more culturally specific a story is, the more universal it tends to end up being. Because “universality” is really just a polite way of describing something as lacking in emotional substance, and when narratives are crafted to appeal to the…
