The reason those 'adult tapes' section were only curtained off is no one wanted to touch a doorknob.
I know!
Its like if all the original Fantastic Four team-up with all the replacements and they still call the group the Fantastic Four.
Oh yeah. It is easy to lampoon. Back in the day, I devoured the mass market paperbacks of Family Circus. Too many to count.
The first image was on heritage auctions, and I dug from there.
Its fun to dig. Seems the head writer of TMNT went to Toth, and we know Mendelsohn was at the end of time at TMNT.
Female Jonny Quest is a good idea, but everyone would think of the musical. Hard sell
Did you see (sea) Capt Meeno's minions are Octopi with Tridents!
I mean. Thats awesome.
His sub is probably the NaughtyList
Yeah - I have no info on him but he just looks like a retooled Punjab. You might be right - Punjab's son makes perfect sense
He's pretty awesome even after you know its all trickery. Its just so cool.
His motivation also seems to be 'because its cool'
Never ask the Family Circle kids about Mertle the Turtle
a live action show was also pitched for Annies Awesome Foursome
Mighty Orphan Power Rangers
Its a skwoink. That's all I know
Bring out the Baddies!
Captain Meeno
Rom Lapptop
and more
Some other heroes of the Awesome Foursome are EZ Ryder, Soo San and Billy Bear Claw
Mr AM is an ageless ancient sage - possibly an angel.
Punjab is one of Daddy Warbuck's bodyguards. Stoic but gentle and semi-mystical. Seems like he was going to renamed to Bun Jee in the proposed cartoon?
The basic idea of Little Orphan Annie are her adventures - probably because she has been kicked out of the mansion by snobbish Mrs Warbucks. There are thugs and gangsters, bureaucrats and New Deal dogooders, killers and saboteurs, kidnappers and Nazis to overcome.
Any Little Orphan Annie fans out there?
The "it's a hard knock life" strip had adult readers. Creator Harold Gray became conservative as a reaction to FDR, and his strip would critique the New Deal. (Daddy Warbucks died when FDR was reelected in 44 - got better when FDR died in 45)
Daily Hanna Barbera
HB that Never Was 🧵
Annie's Awesome Foursome was a 1992 unsuccessful cartoon pitch about Little Orphan Annie (not Little Annie Fanny 😜) as a Jonny Quest style action hero.
Jack Mendelsohn (then head writer of the TMNT cartoon) got Alex Toth to do designs, but it never sold.
And impersonating Gene Shaliy?? Wild
Gene Shalit is closing in on his 100th birthday on March 25th
So Mom was right about 'stop making that face or it will stay that way'
I hope this means I won't go blind
And her panties say 'in case of fire', I hope
Yeah - that is Aliens version of "I got a bad feeling about this" at this point.
You gotta love Mysterio
First, he's kept that Ditko look.
Then, the guy teams up with genuine superpowered people, and all he's got is his bag of tricks.
Of course, many Spidey villains are 'Science Nerds Gone Bad' aren't they? Are they our secret dark sides?
Haha! Purrfect
Especially if he asks about your interest in gladiator movies
Glad you like them. Been doing them awhile now, and lots more Hanna Barbera to explore still.
Alien: Romulus
Wow.
Best of the franchise since Aliens.
Frightening, unexpected twists with some old favorite tropes, and a few questions left over.
I really enjoyed it
Bogmire Swamp is a memorable name.
Dynomutt was clearly aiming at a younger audience - intentionally goofy - and a way to do superhero stuff under the tight restrictions of the day.
Glad you like Dynomutt. I'll do a small thread on him another day.
The pool is up to the wall at Westgate. The Watcher in the Water took Oin. We cannot get out. The end comes, and then drums. Drums in the deep. They are coming.
-Ori's account in the book of records found at Balin's tomb, in the Mines of Moria, about 25 years after Ori's death.
