Just out of curiosity( as I barely saw many episodes of FHIF, even if I couldn´t help but wonder about the subject of this post, since I love to draw - and in special, fanart; so I need to be awere of what´s actually going on ), but

Kiddings apart of this now,
I really liked the way you put this:
"I think the peculiar thing about Foster's is that despite the imaginary friends obviously being creatures rather than humans, their relationships are indicative of humans. They might have odd forms, but they're essentially human children."That´s a really good point ( ... )

I've explored imaginary friends being similar to humans/children in several of my fanfics. It's always interesting to push and prod characters and see what happens.
The good thing about Foster's is that while you know it's targeted at younger kids, it doesn't suffer the dilemma of other shows in that the moral's not readily apparent and shoved down your throat. I suppose that supports your "cartoons are just for kids" assumption. After all, if kids can't innately gather the "moral of the day", then they must have it thrust at them rudely.
The problem is that cartoons no longer contain the slapstick humor that the kids can enjoy and the writing that the adults can, like Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs. Foster's has some of that humor and it's not specifically aimed at younger kids, either.
Yes, it'd be nice if Foster's pioneered a little revolution of its own. :)

Though I´d rather prefer to cosplay Mr. Herriman as C3PO! Kinda because of his attitude, maybe.
( Actually, I´d pity if I had to draw a scene when he should tell Mac - or Make - that he was his father... shudder! )

Though I started this topic as somewhat like a ( duH! ) "serious" discussion, I´m finding this Foster´s/Star Wars thingie quite amusing( well, FHIF quoted LOTR and other works as well and openly, and we´re supposed to be here for sharing FHIF appreciation and fun )so I think I´ll draw somethig related about it - so, input is VERY most welcome - and credits for any ideas about it would be given, of course!
( I mean, ideas to be put on some fanart/s I propose to draw; so, if you want to check out my works, please be welcome to be my guest and visit my DeviantArt Gallery )
So,
here´s any takers, please?
