FAMOUS MONSTERS!
A friend of mine is currently working on a project involving the classic FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine. I can't give away any info yet, but I definitely will when I can! In the meantime...enjoy these FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND covers from my collection.
Aj-aj-aj Wilma: här kommer Wilma...
Here's an odd find. If you're a fan of the classic Flintstones show, you may remember this little ditty from a season three episode called "Swedish Visitors".
As it turns out, if these facts be true, the song actually existed before the episode was created and it was called "Wilma" by Owe Thörnquist. Owe was contacted by Hanna-Barbera lawyers about the song which was thought to be a copyright issue, but Owe replied that the name Wilma was very common in Sweden and "jabadabadoo" was an old Viking sound when a woman was found. Owe was asked to record his song in English for The Flintstones in 1962.

YELLOW SUBMARINE - GOLD KEY COMIC COVER & POSTER!
I'm busy working on a BEATLES YELLOW SUBMARINE commissioned piece, so I thought I'd post the 1968 BEATLES YELLOW SUBMARINE Gold Key comic book cover (above) and the giant poster (below) that came as a bonus with the comic book. Both are from my collection.
E-mail me your commission requests to me at powsley@flash.net! THE LITTLE THEATRE SCREEN - PRESERVING THE HISTORY OF CHICAGO KIDS' TV!

The Duck Knight Returns
Coming from BOOM! Studios this June is a brand new 4-issue miniseries featuring Disney's Darkwing Duck.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25219
According to the series' writer, Ian Brill, the new storyline features the classic show's characters leading new lives where Darkwing's alter-ego, Drake Mallard, has hung up his cape for a desk job while Gosalyn is being suffocated in a new school and Launchpad McQuack is no longer speaking to Drake.
Times have changed for the city of St. Canard including Darkwing's rogues gallery. "There have been big changes and everyone's dealing with them in their own way."

DICK TRACY WGN RADIO ADVERTISEMENT!
I love this 1967 advertisement for WGN Radio's WALLY PHILLIPS. The ad features terrific DICK TRACY art by creator CHESTER GOULD! PHILLIPS did the morning show on Chicago's WGN Radio for many years.
Another Look at The Looney Tunes Show
Jessica Borutski, a freelance artist from Ottawa, ONT, Canada, was given a chance by one of the producers of the new "Looney Tunes Show" to redesign the classic characters and she did a pretty awesome job.
Some people may think it's wrong to change the designs of classic characters like Bugs and the crew, but this sneek peek at a few of the upcoming designs are very promising. They have a slick, modern look but personally, I think they still carry a classic feel to them. Can't wait to see these new Tunes animated.

CN Announces New 2010 Shows
As of April 21st, Cartoon Network announced it's new 2010 lineup featuring an array of new shows.
http://www.toonzone.net/news/articles/33313/toonzone-at-the-cartoon-network-2010-upfront-updated-1145-am
12 shows have been presented and in my personal opinion, these are the ones I'm most curious to check out.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: yet another series featuring those meddling teenagers and their goofy dog. Seems to be a throw-back to their roots with modern cartoony-cartoonists Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone acting as supervising producers.
Young Justice: Teen superheroes have to start somewhere. Various young heroes of the DC variety prove they have what it takes to join the ranks of the Justice League.
MAD: The popular spoof magazine finally gets animated in several styles in order to poke fun at almost everything that makes up pop culture.
Sym-Bionic Titan: Genndy Tartakovsky's return to animation features alien teenagers and their giant robots. Should be awesome.
And the most-anticipated series I've been looking forward too:
The Looney Tunes Show: Those wacky Warner Bros characters are now living the suburban lifestyle in half-hour adventures made up with musical segments(?) and CG Roadrunner shorts. In the long run, this seems like a terrible idea for classic cartoon stars but at least it's a step up from Baby Looney Tunes and Loonatics. Supervising producers Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone have handled the Tunes well-enough before, so this show could live up to it's roots. For today's standards that is.
