Thank you so much for sharing this link with us! This is a real good find!

No worries, Timotheus, you didn't kill the thread. It's either that I haven't posted a lot of new stuff on this thread recently or that people are just getting bored with my stuff. But take heart, it's not you.

The CGI cartoon intrigues me, but I'm so enamored with the classic hand drawn Popeye cartoons that I just don't think I could bring myself to watch it. CGI is getting a little out of control, and Popeye's such an old-school character that it just seems wrong to me to make him digital. However...

Bernice the Whiffle Hen was kind of the precursor to Eugene the Jeep. She was actually introduced into the strip before Popeye even. If you rubbed the feathers on top of her head she granted you good luck. Plus she was impossible to kill. So in Popeye's very first adventure, where he was trying...

No doubt, Wimpy is a wonderful character. He's very much like me, for better or worse. So he's one of my favorites. And I agree completely, he is Popeye's best friend, and I love their relationship. But I also love some of the more obscure characters that you don't see as much anymore, like...

Hasn't it been released over there yet? I'm sorry to hear that. But couldn't you order it off amazon.com? Even with whatever shipping and handling overseas might cost, the dvd (which was released a couple years back) should be VERY affordable. I'd check it out if I were you!

Wow! I just clicked the link to check out that DVD you mentioned, and it sounds like what us Fleischer Popeye fans have been looking for for years! Great find, muh man! Thanks for telling us about it! And D'Snowth, you've single-handedly mentioned the cream of the animation crop! I adore ALL...

I am a HUGE Popeye fan, folks; from the original comic strip (titled "Thimble Theatre"), his animated cartoon (originally produced by Betty Boop creators Fleischer Studios, who did the BEST version) and the movie (which at one point was supposed to star Dustin Hoffman as Popeye and Lilly Tomlin...

I have the Sesame Street Fisher-Price playset. Y'know, the one of the big yellow building that opens up and comes with those little Fisher-Price characters of Gordon, Susan, Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, Oscar and Big Bird. Very cool. Probably my favorite toy as a kid.

Does anyone else find it strange that in Veterinarians Hospital Miss Piggy plays Nurse Piggy, Janice plays Nurse Janice, and yet Rowlf plays Dr. Bob? Almost thirty years later and I'm just now starting to wonder about this. Anyone out there have an explanation or perhaps find this as weird as I do?

I definitely stylized the characters. Whenever I draw someone else's characters (like the Muppets), I always incorporate my style. I want the characters recognizable, but I also want the drawing to have a unique look that reflects my artistic sensibilties. I did employ visual references to get...

Dave, what happened here? I thought this was going to become a reality in February. Has something happened? I notice you haven't been around here in awhile, and I know other people here have voiced concern as well. Just trying to see if you're okay and if this fan project is still going to happen.

Well, it's definitely parodying the last supper, but the way I see it, it's really a stab at McDonalds. They're kind of considered the holy temple of fast food, and with their "one bazillion served a day" claim to fame, it seems there's no end to those who pray at the alter of two all beef...

Okay, I've got a new cartoon to show you guys. But here's the thing: It's not really a Muppet cartoon. Like my last cartoon it focuses on another puppet community that many of us will recall from our childhoods (those of you who don't, my apologies. More actual Muppet cartoons are coming to...

Britney Spears was in Austin Powers: Goldmember with Michael York who was in Cabaret with Liza Minelli who was in Muppets Take Manhattan with Gonzo. How about Beaker to Morgan Freeman?

I thought people were getting a little tired of 'em so I backed off for awhile. But I'm considering some new Fraggle cartoons for the future (as has been suggested by Warrick whom I apologize for not getting back with sooner), so we'll see what transpires.

I know what you're saying. The Grinch, for example: the story was long enough to allow for a great animated special, but man, did they ever have to embellish and stretch to make it a full length movie! And in doing so, they lost touch with the original heart of the book, y'know? I guess, though...

Yeah, just a quick drive through the tunnel....which makes me extremely claustrophobic! But it's worth it for Canada!

Is there anyway you could consider Michigan a close cousin of Canada, since that's where I'm from? After all, Detroit butts right up against Windsor!

I was very sad to hear about Jack Wild's passing. I knew him from H.R. Pufnstuf, but he really endeared himself to me with his performance of the Artful Dodger in the movie musical Oliver, a childhood favorite of mine. He hadn't been well off for so long, so I can only assume that his passing...
