I still have a few sets of this HANNA-BARBERA CARTOON TITLE CARD SET available! There are 14 8 1/2" x 11" individual vintage HB cartoon title card images...all are of excellent quality on Hammermill color copy paper (its heavier weight prevents the paper from curling at the edges...it's also acid-free to prevent yellowing with age). All 14 HANNA-BARBERA CARTOON TITLE CARD images look sensational when framed! There's YOGI BEAR, HUCKLEBERRY HOUND, QUICK DRAW McGRAW, PIXIE & DIXIE and MR. JINKS, AUGIE DOGGIE & DOGGIE DADDY, SNAGGLEPUSS, WALLY GATOR, TOP CAT, SECRET SQUIRREL & MORROCO MOLE, ATOM ANT, PETER POTAMUS & SO-SO, RICOCHET RABBIT & DROOP-A-LONG, TOUCHE TURTLE & DUM DUM and MAGILLA GORILLA! To get your set, please e-mail me at powsley@flash.net for details
It was 54 years ago today that DISNEYLAND officially opened...July 17, 1955! Happy Birthday DISNEYLAND! Leslie and I will definitely be making another visit to the "Happiest Place on Earth" very soon! Above is a current DISNEYLAND postcard of Sleeping Beauty's castle, and below is the cover to a 1971 DISNEYLAND coloring book. Click on the images for larger views!

DALLAS McKENNON passed away this morning at the age of 89. McKENNON was probably best known as the voice of ARCHIE ANDREWS for Filmation's, THE ARCHIE SHOW. He was also the voice of GUMBY and BUZZ BUZZARD (Woody Woodpecker).

Blog viewers who grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s will remember ROMBERG RABBIT! ROMBERG RABBIT was seen on WGN-TV's, GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS (hosted by FRAZIER THOMAS). This is a color sketch I did a few years ago. Below is a 1970s GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS postcard. The show's puppeteer, ROY BROWN, did the artwork. BROWN was also COOKY on WGN-TV's, BOZO's CIRCUS.
It's July 11th...happy 7-11 to everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend. We didn't have the 7-11 convenient stores in Northwest Indiana (Michigan City, to be exact) when I was growing up. I remember stopping at 7-11 stores while on family vacation car trips to the East coast and Southeast, and buying comic books to read in the car. That's what I'm reminded of when I see a 7-11 store today here in the Los Angeles area. A happy memory.
Two different stylings of one of my BEWITCHED pieces. The BEWITCHED logo in the top piece was used on the Dell comic, while the logo in the piece below is from the TV show.
LOVE this JIM BACKUS AND MR. MAGOO Chicago Daily News TV guide! I believe this is from the very early 1960s. (image courtesy of RICK GOLDSCHMIDT)
Looking forward to the October 27th release of the 1960s and 1970s SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS VOL. 2 DVD sets! For more information, check out tvshowsondvd.com. Looks like the contents list is incorrect, as the SPACE GHOST and HERCULOIDS episodes listed for the 1960s Vol. 2 set, are already included on the 1960s Vol. 1 set. I'm sure both content lists are nowhere near finalized. Anyway...looking forward to these sets!
Happy 69th birthday, RINGO STARR!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY! Leslie and I hope everyone is having a safe and happy 4th! The star-spangled classic, UNCLE SAM MAGOO, is a great addition to your Independence Day celebration! Great holiday entertainment for the whole family! I had the pleasure of doing the MR. MAGOO character art for the DVD's cover insert, which is shown above. The entire MAGOO character art is shown below.
From my blog sidebar, here's BOZO and GARFIELD GOOSE! Perhaps these two pieces will be included in an upcoming book on classic Chicago kids TV shows.

Looking forward to this one! It's the new MAD MONSTER PARTY Special Edition DVD. The DVD will be released later this year on September 8. It's currently available for pre-order on Amazon for $10.49. Rankin/Bass Historian and Biographer, RICK GOLDSCHMIDT, tells me that the new MAD MONSTER PARTY documentary on this edition is well worth that alone! The documentary includes interviews with GOLDSCHMIDT, ARTHUR RANKIN, JR., voice artist ALLEN SWIFT, storyboard artist DON DUGA, musical director MAURY LAWS and others. Great to see the RANKIN/BASS name on the DVD's cover!
You've seen this on my blog sidebar, but here it is for a larger view...THE MONKEES! I want to send out best wishes to PETER TORK, who had cancer surgery earlier this year. Leslie and I met Peter a couple of years ago, and he was a terrific guy.
