Get in the Pink Van

The Pink Panther skateboard van was one of three Pink Panther vans that came out in 1982. I don’t know who manufactured these, I just know they are too expensive fro my budget. Somewhere in my infamous basement is a plastic figure of the Pink Panther on a skateboard which I guess I haven’t posted […]

Seymour the Skateboard

Feed me (concrete) Seymour

When my kids were of a certain age, I watched a metric tonne of Yo Gabba Gabba, but somehow we missed this 2009 Story Time episode of Seymour the Skateboard, a little skateboard who didn’t know any tricks and had to go to skate school to learn them from an old school teacher. Seymour had […]

Woody Woodpecker Puzzle

Woody Woodpecker was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I especially liked the ones from the 40’s where Woody seemed a little insane, very similar to some portrayals of Daffy Duck from similar era. This 100 piece puzzle from Whitman, likely dates back to 1984, a time closer to a more homogenized Woody […]

Curious George: We Are The Wiener Dogs

Q: Are we not Dachshunds?

A: We Are The Wiener Dogs. The song “We Are The Wiener Dogs” from the Curious George cartoon series. Watch these guys “hot dog” it after the jump. (Ouch.) – Thanks to Concretins Nick for the tip.

Grin and Bear It.

One track mind

Vintage 80’s Grin and Bear It comic, courtesy of Paul Graf. Too bad the skateboard is mostly out of frame.

popeye

I yam what I yam

Popeye has been around since the late 20’s. I swear the soundtrack on some of those old animated cartoons are just 15 minutes of solid mumbling. Here are three appearances of Popeye on a skateboard, from present day back to 1979.

Henry’s Mod Teen Adventures

It’s September of 1967. You’re a horny adolescent boy and the Playtex Bra adverts aren’t due out in the paper for a couple of days. What are you going to do? Why, buy a copy of Henry’s Mod Teen Adventures of course! It’s jam packed with lots of quickly drawn buxom girls in short skirts […]

Denver the Last Dinosaur

Denver the Last Dinosaur is possibly one of the best bad cartoon relics out there. Basically, a dinosaur egg hatches, and hangs out with kids skateboarding, riding BMX and sort of communicating in a more subdued Scooby Doo style. The animation is horrible, I swear it approaches 5 frames a second. The voiceover is what […]

Can you find 3 things wrong?

Another Bizarro strip from Dan Piraro. Notice the skateboard action in the upper right corner. You might remember the Gettysburg Tweet? Bizarro is one of the few funny comic strips in syndication anymore. This is a Piraro/Bizarro take on the classic kid’s magazine exercise of finding something wrong with an illustration. Dan, if you’re reading […]
