  Hi! Lionel and Cherry here! And this is our look at “ The Amazing World of Gumball ”! The Amazing World of Gumball was an animated series created by Ben Bocquelet for the Cartoon Network that started on May 2nd, 2011, and has a 7th season and a movie in the works at the time we write this. But if you’re here, chances are that you already know about the series. You’re here for the reviews! First up: THE RESPONSIBLE.

Salutations, greetings, aloha, and howdy-to-ya! My name's Lionel, and I'm here with my girlfriend Cherry. As the name of our blog might tell you, we have autism, but we’re still pretty damn good at what we do. We humbly welcome you to Toons on the Spectrum —which is essentially either one or both of us taking a look at select cartoons from the past and present, giving a rundown and whatnot of the synopses/plots, and letting you all know what we think of them! Some of our posts—which will later become videos once we figure that whole thing out—will focus on comparing and contrasting certain cartoon episodes, as well as their tropes: like why a trope works in one of them, while in another it completely fails. And so, we humbly hope you’ll stick around, subscribe, stay tuned, and share the word. Toons on the Spectrum , soon to be a podcast.
