I actually tend to think that the Moose - nay, the whole Western theme - make JavaRanch more professional than many other sites. I mean, anybody can throw together a site like Sun's forums. It doesn't take much thought. However, this site has obvously had a lot of thought put into "theming." Since a lot of thought has been put into the theme, it seems logical that a lot of thought will have been put into the rest of teh site as well.
Saying that the cartoons are "unprofessional" are just like saying that having icons instead of text on buttons is "unprofessional." They are just a way to easily and visually identify the different sections of the website.
And the cartoons are really well done, btw...
