I saw the new Matt Groening series Disenchantment and I must say I'm not that disappointed.
Anyone else see this show?

I have. Matt Groening has found a groove with the Porky In Wackyland motif: The Simpsons is a family of oddly wrong people getting through a day among some even wronger townspeople. Futurama is a ditzy delivery boy in a "You're Doing It Wrong" Star Trek world. So now we have Disenchantment centering on nonconformist Princess Bean in a medieval setting frought with wrongness and absurdity. Groening may be onto something: put enough stupidity in one place and the results tend to be hilarious.

I wish I can work with Groening because one thing that has a Groening-ish feel that I've created is Gibbera. This is a continent that's only known to some which lies in the center of the Pacific Ocean. It's theme would be in the style of Donovan's "Atlantis"...
An unknown continent known as Gibbera which came before The Great Flood and is now the Pacific Ocean. The island like its counterpart Atlantis is invisible and is only seen by certain people for thousands of years. One certain discoverer from Ohio has heard about these unknown continents that only a few have seen. Following his heart, the discover brought his friends...the poet, the farmer, the physician, the scientist, and the musician. These followers would see interesting things in this continent that no one else has heard until today...Hail Gibbera!
