Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON: Macaulay Culkin in "Wish Kid"
This Saturday morning I take you deeeeep. Deeper than deep. From out the archives I present to you Wish Kid, a cartoon that lasted all of 1 season, and that is so obscure the only full episode I could find on the YouTubes is in Spanish! But since brown people are going to take over the world anyway, this is a great opportunity for you to brush up on your Mexicanese. Wish Kid was about a kid who could make wishes (they really didn’t waste any time on elusions in the early 90′s) through a baseball glove that was struck by a shooting star. Capitalizing on his Home Alone (and possibly The Good Son?) hype, the show was really just a poor excuse to inject more Macaulay Culkin into the vein of America (and Central America, apparently). (Un)fortunately for us, neither the preview above or the dubbed episode after the jump grace us with the big Mac’s actual voice. And so to compensate, here’s the scream that earned him the big bucks and that skyrocketed him into the master thespian he is today. Gotta love the internets for this one:
