Phineas and Ferb

"Whatcha doin'?" Writing a Phineas and Ferb blog.  Aren't I a little old to be writing a Phineas and Ferb blog?  Yes, yes I am. Today's blog topic covers yet another cartoon, but it's not in the Looniverse.  It's in the TVCU!!! And yes, there's some explaining to do.  First, it's one of those cartoons that is on for years but they don't seem to age.  Well, consider this.  Each story takes place in one single afternoon of the summer.  That allows for about 104 summer days per year, or 104 stories per year.  Thus, if we take every story as being one afternoon a day during a summer, then realistically, they are aging, but the stories are being televised to us on a spread out schedule.  And if you don't like that answer, then I point you to M*A*S*H, and say if you can accept M*A*S*H, then you can accept a cartoon's timeline.  So there. The other issue is a secret agent platypus, and that's actually not to hard to explain.  First

A Tarantino/Rodriguez Blog

Warning:  This blog covers R Rated material, even though the blog itself is for general audiences. It's not often that I cover a creator in a blog.  I did do so with Adam Sandler, who likes to connect his works with the appearances of recurring secondary characters, even though the stories themselves are otherwise unconnected. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez do the same thing in their works.  They subtly connect their works to make a shared reality (which just so happens is part of the larger TVCU), without having to announce to the world that their films are sequels or part of a series (because they aren't, or at least not all of them.) So below will be a timeline, as usual, focusing on films and television series that have been written, directed, or produced by the duo together or separately, or in which one or both have acted. 1858--DJANGO UNCHAINED-- Former dentist, Dr. King Schultz, buys the freedom of a slave, Django, and trains him with the intent to make
