Actually, you're close. Russi Taylor did the voice of Minnie Mouse as well as baby Gonzo.

Though I figure you may have some Muppet Babies fan up in arms over your opinion of "pup" holding up better than "Babies", I absolutely agree that having Muppet Babies as actual puppets would be wonderful. I remember when Muppet Babies was first announced for CBS' Saturday morning line up back...

Thanks for the update on Inspector Gadget. And as in interesting addition to the trivia, Frank Welker, who voiced Brain in the original cartoon, voiced the live action Brain, in the first movie at least. And if you're interested in seeing more live action footage of LeMarche, rent "Comic Book...

Thanks, Vic. I'm a self taught cartoonist. My favorite medium is Micron Pigma markers and Sharpie markers on Bristol board. I usually color my work in Photoshop these days, but I'm also a fan of colored pencils. Though I don't work for a major company, I've done pretty well as a freelance...

Just saw Little Shop in Lansing. Holy cow. Simply the best stage production of the show that I ever have or ever will see. The puppetry was uber-brilliant. It was an incredible thrill to see this show, and it would take something pretty special to top the experience.

Here ya go, Vic Romano. http://www.jayfosgitt.com/LeftOvers/Sketchbook/SB24.html

Moths. And lots of 'em.

You've definitely got talent. I'm also envious of how much positive attention your work's attracting on this site. When I posted some artwork a month or two ago, I think I got maybe one response. It was enough to make me want to keep my work to myself. But your stuff is very professional. Great...

Y'know, a couple years ago, voice actor Maurice LaMarche (the original voice of Chief Quimby from Inspector Gadget) announced he'd be voicing the Inspector himself in a new series called, "Inspector Gadget and The Gadgeteenies" or something to that effect. I don't recall seeing it anywhere after...

I was about to say the same thing.

Thanks for pointing this one out. I hadn't heard of it, and I'd love to get my hands on it. Is it on sale in stores or do you have to special order it from the biography channel?

If it weren't for these comics (plus a ton of Archies) I never would have started collecting comics. Not a single family trip could go by without me purchasing large quantities of these books to keep me sedated during the long trek to wherever. There was an attempt to revive the Harvey Comics...

In my haste, I forgot to mention his name: Bud Luckey. It really seems to fit the soft, downhome feel to his work.

Hey, as a point of interest, the man who wrote, voiced and animated the "Alligator King and His Seven Sons" cartoon for Sesame Street created, wrote, voiced and animated the Pixar short "Boundin'", which premiered before "The Incredibles" and is also featured on the new DVD. He also did "Ladybug...

It was made by director Peter Jackson (of Lord of the Rings fame) back in 1989. It's basically a very raunchy, risque, violent and extremely disturbing parody of the Muppet Show (albiet a loose parody). While morbid curiosity made me want to rent it, I don't have enough morbid left in me to want...

When I saw some pre-production artwork for X2 (when they were still considering having the Beast in that one), they were definitely going with the furry animal-looking Beast. But it's a couple years later now with a whole new director who's intent on turning established boy superheroes into...

Glad to be of service. And on the DC comics front, Buffy and Firefly creator Joss Whedon has just been officially signed on to write and direct the Wonder Woman movie.

Oooookay, latest news is that Beast, Gambit and the Angel will all be featured in the third X-Men film. But for whatever reason, Angel will be played as a girl. Suddenly, Bryan Singer making Rouge a teenager in X-Men 1 and 2 doesn't seem like such an extreme choice after all.

Staying on the animation topic, have you ever noticed how many cartoons from the 80s and 90s switched animation studios? Heathcliff started off in the early 80s with the long defunct Ruby Spears studio, then resurfaced a few years later at DIC animation with some new designs and additions to its...

Do you remember a cartoon from around 1986 called "The Galaxy Rangers?" It wasn't done by any of the major animation houses of the day, but it was so cool! I loved it! It used to come on at 6:30 in the morning before I left for school. Just a great show with great animation, characters and...
