The popularity of Adventure Time among the mid-twenties set is surprising, though nowhere near as much so as the similarly fervent fandom that has cropped up around the new My Little Pony. It makes a sort of sense; Adventure Time is well-written and humorous in a way that can entertain the young while titillating the slightly-less-young. It would appear the producers of the show understand that the writing is the key, as Pendleton Ward, the series’ creator, is blessedly involved in the making of the upcoming DS and 3DS action-adventure game, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!
Furthermore, the game is getting a collector’s edition.
Inside, one will find a stylus in the shape of Finn’s gold sword, a “Book of Beasts” that is, appropriately, a bestiary, and a poster mapping the Land of Ooo. All of this will be contained in a SteelBook case (for a handheld game? The opulence!) in the likeness of the Enchiridion. Yes, Adventure Time knows its audience.
