Here's the October 1967 edition of THE HANNA-BARBERA EXPOSURE SHEET, the studio's newsletter. I've got a few more of these to post, so keep checking back. It's neat to see photos of TED CASSIDY and the HUCK FINN cast reading the very first edition of THE EXPOSURE SHEET on page one. I posted that edition back on June 13, 2008. It's interesting to see that HANNA-BARBERA background painter, ART LOZZI, designed interiors for three Hilton Hotels in Europe...and the animated feature, A MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE (the film was actually titled THE MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE), won two awards!

Here's a great LOONEY TUNES / MERRIE MELODIES poster from 1951. Wouldn't this have looked cool as a cover to one of the LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION DVD sets? Here's the original painted art for a 1960s BUGS BUNNY puzzle from Western Printing. Click on each image for a larger view! E-mail me at powsley@flash.net. Thanks! -- Patrick Owsley
Before the month of June ends, I wanted to to wish SUPERMAN a happy 70th birthday! SUPERMAN first appeared in ACTION COMICS #1 in June of 1938. Here's the cover to a 1960s SUPERMAN Color by Number book by Whitman and the original painted art for a 1960s SUPERMAN puzzle from Western Printing. Click on each image for a larger view!
Happy birthday to the late legendary comic artist and animation character designer ALEX TOTH! In honor of TOTH's 80th birthday, I'm posting two of his model sheets for the 1967 HANNA-BARBERA production, SHAZZAN. As you know, TOTH designed just about all of the HANNA-BARBERA super-hero shows during the 1960s and 1970s, including SPACE GHOST, MIGHTOR, YOUNG SAMSON, MOBY DICK, SUPERFRIENDS, BLUE FALCON and more. I'm also posting the original art to a 1967 SHAZZAN puzzle from Western Printing. TOTH didn't do the puzzle art, but it is based on his sensational character designs!

Growing up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s, I used to watch THE FUNNY COMPANY on WGN-TV Channel 9's children's show, GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS. Hosted by FRAZIER THOMAS and featuring the puppets GARFIELD GOOSE, ROMBERG RABBIT, MACINTOSH MOUSE and BEAUREGARD BURNSIDE III, GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS also showed CLUTCH CARGO and JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME. Here's the original painted art for one of the 1960s FUNNY COMPANY puzzles produced by Western Printing. Below, I've re-posted a "portrait" of GARFIELD GOOSE that I did.

Just want to remind you that this FRANKENSTEIN JR.character and logo original art is still available to own! I created this character and logo art for the box of the upcoming FRANKENSTEIN JR. 20" Bobble Bank from FUNKO! I also created character art of THE IMPOSSIBLES for the box...black and white line art of the color art that I posted on April 10. Of course, the black and white character art and logo will be colored for the bank's box. I want to thank Brian Mariotti at Funko, again, for the assignment! Click on each image for a larger view.

Just reminding everyone that the 14-piece HANNA-BARBERA cartoon title card set and the 18" x 24" HANNA-BARBERA original art (both shown above) are still available for you to own! Each HANNA-BARBERA cartoon title card measures 8 1/2" x 11" and looks sensational when displayed. The 18" x 24" HANNA-BARBERA original art features all of the "animal" TV friends from 1958 - 1965! The art is brush, pen & ink on bristol board. E-mail me at powsley@flash.net for details and click on each image for a larger view! Thanks! -- Patrick Owsley
