I'm glad you think so—we're thrilled about it at Fantagraphics! A lot of my comics-historian heart belongs to Golden Age creators, but this beloved 1980s and 1990s stuff deserves to be in hard covers too. To combine two songs from the "Silver Age" cartoons themselves: ♫ Come along! You belong...

This title card is clearly a photoshopped fake using obvious computer fonts. A search on Lantern shows no film by that title released during the period (it would show up in booking guides if it was real; compare with Mother Goose in Swingtime). Please actually show us the Korean website you...

In the classic cartoons, Sam's last name was the equally Jewish-sounding Schulz, so there's precedent... but why change it?

Wonderful stuff. But I've got an extraordinarily dumb question. On the last page—after completing the game (won't spoil it), we see an action that I interpreted as Mulberry getting up and flexing her back—hard. For me, this was the quintessential Mulberry moment: after manipulating people...

That's a terribly inaccurate "public domain" list. Every single title you list before CRAZY TOWN—and quite a few after it—are actually copyrighted.

Yeah, I know the thread's ancient. Sue me. Somehow, I'd skipped past the 1930s Mickey panel in this thing last time I read it. Enjoying it as a "rerun" now, I first stopped dead—then utterly busted a gut. Thanks for substantially improving my evening.

Wait, WHAT? I didn't know this had moved to CN, or that more had been produced. If true, Warner has sure done a poor job of publicizing it. Anyone got further details? I'd only really like to see more if Spike and Tony are involved...

Hey, CN! Is that a puppy in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

SpongeJosh, a quick question about your sig. You say Has Kool-Aid Man actually been retired? I can't seem to find any documentation saying so. On another note, were the CN Hall of Fame DVDs released in any territories beyond Region 1? That may explain something about why they haven't been...

I'd love to be their modern-day rediscoverer—but I'm not. Chuck the calf and Jodie the horse, characters who (from the designs of Orson, Wade, etc. shown alongside them) appear to have been created at the start along with the rest of the gang, but never actually made it into the strip. I've...

I see what you did there...

This is the talkback thread for "The Looney Tunes Show" Tune-In Info for Tuesday, May 10. [Didn't mean to start this thread... but TZ software won't let me delete it. DG]

Yikes! If I actually owned the print I privately accessed, I'd have blogged actual footage, not just screengrabs. If only. :sweat:

Um, fellas? The problem has been solved. Like the person above sez, they're right here on Amazon in English, even if not all of them.

Everything will be perfect again. Just like it was with Bush. (Obsession with foreign royals seems to go hand-in-hand with fawning obedience to our own rulers, doesn't it?) In other news, your story had me in hysterics—maybe the best of the Pi series thus far. She's sort of a more benevolent...

Is CN also using the opening sequence where we meet the various stars backstage? (This one) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x07BOja7eog

If you have any voice with the people designing this site—better actually tell them that they've got a nonexistent date on the banner. I've seen this kind of thing happen before: the image gets disseminated fast (as soon as it formally "goes public"), the error is only corrected later, the...

Can money buy immortality? Maybe not, but it could sure try.

Hey—great, very funny stuff. I'm with Kiddington: the future needs more Squami. I can easily imagine him in more involved story arcs separate from the Eco-Teens; a driven, overenthusiastic character is often just that perfect mix of endearing and pesky.

I can't say much that J. B. Warner didn't already say—but you score extra points, anyhow, for the inadvertent implications of Darcy biting Waoleka. I can't wait to see how this continues.

Thanks for the tip of the hat, Tom!

The cackling cabbie zooming away, then backing up so he could cackle and zoom away again was what made this thing.

Lulu is great, and I'm only going by Part 1—wonderful how she turns on a dime from being the desperate victim to being smug and bossy (great expressions on her, too). I want to singlehandedly destroy people like this in real life, so your making me want to see more of Lulu isn't an easy feat.

Ironically, the title of the ABC special ruined it for us. Renaming the story "A Wimp's Revenge" had the effect of namecalling: the makers of the show were explicitly calling the guy we liked a wimp. That was something the book's author had never done. Not only did my friends and I feel wronged...

Amazingly, I remember this one. It was based on this book, a sixth-grade favorite among me and my friends—not least as we were sometimes threatened by bullies similar to Dewey Belasco, the bully in the story. We identified with Jeffrey, the persecuted hero. Ironically, the title of the ABC...

"I'm glad you asked, Doc—uh, I mean, bro. We're Ben Hare and Ravenous Raven, professional ripoffs of Bugs Bunny and Crawford Crow. Basically, we switch off between fighting with hunters and dodging Warner and Columbia lawyers—the second job is harder, so nobody wants it permanently."

Of what? I've lost track of which cartoon you're referring to...

Tom and Jerry still see a lot of regular airtime and new animation. I'm afraid brute ignorance will always be common. (Not to mention klutziness that can also affect the brainy. I've a friend who, in junior high, started a comic about a cat and mouse named Mike and Ike—and could never remember...

Why? Disney is obviously involved, but it's a chance to see classic Mickey and Oswald shorts on a big screen. Isn't that the kind of experience we want Disney to be providing?

Hm. Disney doesn't object to Mickey acting a little wild in our comic books. Excerpt from a reprint in last week's issue (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories 698). Mickey sees a tall rodent in a motorist's cap from behind, holding a photo of Minnie and sighing. Doesn't look quite like Mortimer but...

Amen. Sorry Captcomic83, but while you may not mean it, you're making this message board less than enjoyable to read. Please try to provide some insight, not just unexplained list entries.

Way back in the 1920s and 1930s, there was a term in standard usage for ghost exterminators that seems to have been the direct precursor of "ghostbusters": ghost breakers. It was first popularized by the 1913 Charles Goddard Broadway play "The Ghost Breaker," which was filmed in 1914 by Cecil B...

Wonderful stuff! This is one of those rare times a story seems to indulge in virtually every bit of gag potential inherent in the plot—essentially topping itself again and again. The brief cutaway to Hillary midway through the story, and Obama's horrified loss of cool in response to Palin's...

While not the biggest Histeria fan, I did get a kick out of certain characters (Aka Pella—gotta like Cree Summer, regardless of past Elmyra overdose), so I'm also really enjoying reading the characters' "chat" about the first episode. I wonder how Loud Kiddington lost his voice... hmm, is it...

Great job—General Fang had me laughing out loud, if you'll pardon the cliche. No real suggestions for anything else that could have been added, so I'm patheticaly reduced to simply quoting what I liked. "That was a rig of honor! Yours was a rig of shame!... Show me the head of your opponent!"...

You mean like THIS? Or THIS? Or THIS? Or especially THIS! No offense, but it's always amazing to me how so many people assume any project with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy must be inherently simple, principally gag-oriented, or short-form in length. The amount of respect and love these long-form...

Anyone know if TOM AND JERRY TALES is reappearing anywhere else—or simply vanishing? Could CW4Kids continue to broadcast the show if it wanted to, or is some contract's expiration to blame? If the former, I'd say someone's guilty of deliberately scrubbing the network's best-rated series so that...

Funny, isn't it? At a time when Ron Miller-era Disney was less prone to overlooking their older fans, they nevertheless churned out a special which was beyond condescending. This was also the period when tons of Mickey cartoons, today all available on DVD, were banned from TV and video for...

Yes! I'm glad someone else remembers that. (In my memory, I'd actually seen the relevant presskit on Platypus Comix. Obviously not—or at least I can't seem to find it now. Can you tell me where you saw it and help me get another look at it?) Would you really say the earlier Liz hated Jon as much...

Hey, we've published some PK stories at Gemstone! But we call Donald's alter ego "Duck Avenger," because that's his traditional name in this country—he got it when appearing in DISNEY ADVENTURES about ten years ago. In a splendid show of synergy, Disney's video game people left the name as PK...
