Michael M. Wartella is an American underground cartoonist, animator, writer and director based in New York City, generally publishing under the name M. Wartella or just Wartella. He is best known for his work in The Village Voice and on Cartoon Network's MAD.
He is the founder of Brooklyn's Dream Factory Animation, a boutique studio specializing in the production of animated shorts for corporate and indie clients.
According to his 2013 autobiography, Strip Show: 25 Years of Comix, Controversy & Copyright Infringement, Wartella began his professional career at age ten producing a weekly comic strip called Clubhouse Kids for a local newspaper, which ran for two years during 1986–1987.
Later, while a student at The University of Virginia, Wartella created the absurdist art comic Ackxhpæz (1994–1996) which he then expanded and nationally self-syndicated to alternative weekly newspapers (as "Nuts") from 1998–2000. The humor in many of the cartoons was controversial as exemplified in a 1999 comic about the Columbine High School massacre which prompted an outcry when it was published in Denver.
Willy Wonka is a character in Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, its sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, and the film adaptations of these books that followed.
The book and the film adaptations both vividly depict an odd Wonka, a phoenix-like man arising from his creative and eccentric genius. He bewilders the other characters with his antics, but Charlie enjoys Wonka's behavior. In the 2005 film adaptation, Willy Wonka's behavior is viewed more as a sympathetic character flaw.

Ellen Wartella, professor of communication, human development/sociology and psychology at Northwestern University, presented the 2012 Wayne Danielson Lecture on October 31, 2012. The former dean of the Moody College of Communication, Wartella discussed the extent of the childhood obesity crisis -- who it affects and its consequences -- and the nature of the food environment in American society, including the disconnect between the foods marketed to children and what we call healthy diets. Recommendations from recent Institute of Medicine reports on how to attack childhood obesity are also addressed.
We take a closer look at a growing public health crisis: childhood obesity. What can be done to help overweight children live a healthier life?

The temptation to rely on media screens to entertain babies and toddlers is more appealing than ever, with screens surrounding families at home, in the car, and even at the grocery store. And there is no shortage of media products and programming targeted to little ones. But a new policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP, www.aap.org) says there are better ways to help children learn at this critical age. On average, children this age watch televised programs one to two hours per day. By age 3, almost one third of children have a television in their bedroom. Parents who believe that educational television is "very important for healthy development" are twice as likely to keep the television on all or most of the time. This policy statement, ''Media Use by Children Yo...
A briefing to release "Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds," a national survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation which found that with technology allowing nearly 24-hour media access as children and teens go about their daily lives, the amount of time young people spend with entertainment media has risen dramatically, especially among minority youth.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien. Regardons autour de nous
On vit dans un monde de fous
Chacun cherche sa gloire,
Chacun cherche l'espoir.
On oublie ce qui nous entoure
Ceux qui nous donnent de l'Amour
On chasse de notre memoire
Ce qui nous empeche d'y croire.
On laisse au bord du chemin.
Les chagrins sans lendemain,
On poursuit chacun sa route.
On laisse au bord de la route
Chacun tous ses petits doutes,
On poursuit son chemin. Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Tenir au creux de ses mains
Les clefs de notre destin,
Mener a la victoire
Tous nos reves d'un soir.
Et on court apres le temps
On passe a cote des gens,
On court apres l'argent,
On se cache, on se ment.
Meme si la solitude
Est notre seule attitude,
On garde en chacun de nous
L'Amour de ceux qui nous aime,
Meme si on a de la peine,
On se retrouvera.
Meme si la realite
N'est pas notre verite,
On continue a y croire
A se battre pour notre histoire.
Meme si le prix a payer
Est plus cher a chaque fois,
On continue a y croire
Des espoirs pour nos espoirs.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.

"EVERYONE THINKS ABOUT THEMSELVES"
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
Let's look around us
We live in a crazy world
Everyone seeks some glory,
Everyone seeks some hope
We forget all the things around us
Those who give us love.
We dismiss from our memory
Everything that stops us believing.
We leave by the edge of the path
The short-lived sorrows.
Everyone, follow the road
and leave by its edge
every last doubt
And carry on walking.
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
Holding in our hands
The keys of our destiny
Leading to victory
Our one night's dreams.
And we run after time,
We turn away from people,
We run after money,
We hide and lie to each other
Even though loneliness
Is our unique attitude,
We keep to ourselves
The love of those who love us,
Even though we feel upset,
We will meet up again.
Even if reality
Is not our truth,
We keep on believing,
And fight for our history.
Though the price to pay
Is more expensive each time,
We keep on believing
A few hopes for our new hopes.
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
