Does Anyone Really Care? Bazooka Joe Comic Ending.

It was just announced that Bazooka Joe comics will no longer be in Bazooka Gum. They said only 7% of kids age 6-12 knew who he was and of the 7% less than half liked the character. Damn!

Well good riddance. I hated those cheesy cartoons. One article said that even when it debuted in the 50's it looked outdated and seemed like it was from the 40's. And please work on the rock hardness of your gum.

And while you're at it, please get rid of this dick:

WHAT THE??? Fun In The Tub. Dudes And A Black Kid..

WHA WHA WHAT???

I was looking through images in the Google under "Racist Toys" and came across this picture.

It's a comic book series in Mexico called Memin Pinguin. The info on it is here.

Looks pretty racist but at least it looks pro gay. Don't you think?

*Talking like Bob Hope* I gotta tell ya boy that is some wild stuff. *growls*

Popeye, Gumby and Zippo Lighters

Did you know that Popeye made it's first appearance in the comics on this day in 1929? Yup. And to tell you the truth I never really liked Popeye. I did however like the Sea Hag and Alice the Goon that were on the Popeye cartoon. In fact, that weird chin that the Sea Hag sports is one of my favorite features that some old people get. I hope I never look like that.

I do have a Popeye Zippo lighter so I guess I don't dislike it that much.

A show that reminds me of Popeye is Gumby. The reason is because when I was a kid waiting for the bus, it was either Popeye or Gumby that would be the animation that was showed during Philly's Captain Noah Show....or was it during the Captain Kangaroo Show? I forget. Anyways, here's the theme to Gumby. After making sure nobody's listening, sing along!

Simpson's Movie Makes $71.9 million - Angry Mob Makes Sure Comic Hacks "Don't Get Any Ideas"

The Simpsons movie has topped the weekend box office pulling in an impressive $71.9 million. The huge payday has sparked concern that other cartoon creators may now be considering the big screen as a vehicle. Just to make sure, angry mobs have been surrounding Cathy creator Cathy Guisewite's home for the last three hours.

Mob leader Mike Barlo explains,

"I was at the opening of the Simpsons Movie and it was great. As I'm sitting there though, I was thinking, 'great, now all the crappy cartoonists are going to try and cash in. I'm sure that Ms. Guisewite is a lovely lady, but the cartoon is horrible. The idea - even the remote chance that that garbage might appear on a theater near me made me pull this mob together."

Mr. Barlo and others have no intention of harming the NCS award winning artist but just want to give her a scare and make sure she, "doesn't get any ideas".

After confirming that he's still alive, the mob will be making it's next stop at the home of Bil Keane- creator of the Family Circus at 5:00. All interested citizens wishing to join the mob are encouraged to bring their own torches and pitchforks as they will be handed out on a first come first serve basis.
