A flurry of excitement shook the KToon world last week as pundits struggled to decode the meaning behind GLT. Proposals include:

  1. Getting Lost in my own Tracks
  2. Genuine Lovable Talk
  3. Genuine Love for Technology
  4. GLT-1 is the most abundant Glial subtype of gLutamate Transporters in mutant mice (learned something new)
  5. eGo (look, he got one letter right)
  6. GaLuT (exile, diaspora)
  7. GoLiaTh (no wonder Saul was so afraid of him)
  8. the next pause to take breath (I think this has some numerical correlation somehow)
  9. Go Learn Torah
  10. GeLT (money)
  11. Get Lost in Things
  12. Ground Level Thinking
  13. Depression (depressed people have difficulty with details of anagrams, etc.)
  14. Gooey Liquid Technoguck
  15. Great way to Lose Time thinking of stupid ways to decipher a meaningless anagram

Two skilled detectives, David in LA and Eli in Melbourne, actually determined the author's original meaning: GuiLT. But, of course, that in no way diminishes the value of all other submissions. As Jews, text is reality. Who cares about author's intentions?

Choosing a "best explanation" in the face of such an unexpected whirlwind of submissions lies far beyond my capacity. However, as we await the Passover Edition of KToons (next week), how 'bout this:

Send me your concepts, your ideas, your dreams for KToon scripts. Post them all here. Requirements are simple: They require a prop, allow for lots of action, and provide an opportunity to communicate a life-impacting truth from kabbalistic wisdom.

Note required by the lawyers: Anyone posting their ideas here agrees that what they post will lie within the public domain, excluding, of course, all elements of past and planned KabbalaToon episodes.

Feivel Goes Pop - Part II
This is a continuation to Feivel Goes Pop - Part I:
When engineers wanted to amplify a signal, such as my voice, they developed the operational amplifier. With negative feedback, the operational amplifier is stable. It provides controlled gain, and a good sounding voice can be heard. It is true however that with positive feedback the operational amplifier provides a larger gain, even infinite gain, at the cost of stability. Thus, with positive feedback my voice may become nothing, but my heart's desire for doing good deeds becomes infinite.

Re: Feivel Goes Pop
But if Feivel is already making the right decisions even better than the mind, then why should he go pop?

Feivel Goes Pop - Part I
Feivel is having a good day. He is finally not only responding to brain transmissions, but he also guides the doing of good deeds. His loving-kindness instinct has become so keen that he succeeds when the mind does not have enough facts to make a decision. This is wonderful. But oh no. This is so wonderful that Feivel is shrinking... shrinking... pop... he is gone. And look what happens now; every step, every breath, every Plank second is a good deed. Is there anything like it in our world?

Idea 4 Ktoons
Maybe you can do soemthing with a plane, showing that a plane soaring to the highest heights but then descending-yet noone in their right mind would say the plane is having a yerida-its reached its tachlis, the whole reason i flew up to heaven was to come back down to earth.

Why not do both families?
if you would like R' Infinity to introduce his family or personal students, why not give each of them a Feivel-like alter-ego? They could be different colors depending on what traits the characters are struggling with too (green for envy, red for an angry Feivel-like character), etc.

The characters could give the lessons, and the interactions of the little Feivels could show what's REALLY going on in their heads.

Or the people could act correctly, showing the little misbehaving Feivels how to exemplify Torah-based behavior (forgiveness, charity, patience, etc.).

All those Feivels could cause some wonderful trouble together! :o)
