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 […]

Give a Hoot

Woodsy Owl was/is the mascot of the US Forest Service. He had his own comic book from 1973-1976. Here he is getting down with some 8 wheeled action in issue #4 from 1973. [Source: Retrogasm]

Maxine at the Olympics

I watched quite a bit of the Olympics, enjoyed some of the action. I did not enjoy the shitty coverage courtesy of NBC. I think I was a week into it before I realized there were other events besides gymnastics and swimming. One thing I did not miss, skateboarding in the olympics. I poached this […]

Facememe

This gangsta owl on a skateboard is floating around Facebook. The real question for Skate and Annoy nerds is what cartoon is this from? Anyone know the answer? (I don’t, I just want to know.)

Jot and the gang on the 9th Commandment

I totally forgot about these cartoons. Trippy animations from the 60’s (ran through the early 80’s) with a religious message, made by the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission. Super progressive animation and the subject matter make for an interesting juxtaposition. Here’s part of an episode with a skateboard playing a pivotal role. I don’t […]

Hey, where’s Perry?

From the Phineas and Ferb Facebook page. I swear I’ve seen every episode. They play one every other hour on assorted Disney Channels. Never seen this episode though. A platypus on a rocket powered skateboard. – Thanks to Colin for the tip.

Psychic… Powerless…

last Monday we had a rude awakening with Off!. So it is in that tradition that I present this cartoon and apologize for greeting you with part of a Buthole Surfer’s album title. I guess that really wasn’t a way to make it any more palatable. The cartoon was found on an image aggregating site […]

James Bond Jr and Gordo on board

In 1991 there was an animated series based on a spinoff novel from Ian Flemming’s James Bond series. I just watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time in… decades, and I was suprised to learn that it was also based on an Ian Flemming novel and produced by Albert R. Broccoli, the guy […]
