Have this half assed meme I just came up with :)

Something funny to me.

The one and only Betty Boop Snow white cartoon came out the same day as the now Trans visibility day.

Today truly is the King Dice day.

“Oh my gosh people are running out of show ideas! This generation’s is so boring! Blah blah blah-” you wanna know an idea that would probably make MILLIONS??

A Betty Boop reboot but do it the way the Animaniacs did it.

Have Betty and all the other characters from her show explore the world of today.

Do a montage of Betty exploring new types fashions, have Koko the clown learn about stand up, have bimbo learn the modern definition of the word “bimbo”, have fearless Freddy learn about whatever the fuck (I literally forgot most things about Freddy I haven’t watched the show since I was little)

Do a reference to that one short film about hell and have the devil compared to tcs devil.

Have modern-day cartoons come up to Betty asking for autographs.

This would probably be a really good reboot given the chance.

what if they were girlfriends I think that would be super cool

85 years ago today Action Comics #1 writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster introduced the world to Superman, and a legend was born!

There was something about that cover - a costumed man holding a car over his head while smashing it on a rock - that grabbed the public’s imagination and wouldn’t let it go.

Superman became so popular that within a year he had his own self-titled comic book and a daily newspaper strip.  A year later he became the star of a long-running radio serial.

Since then Superman has been featured in films, television series, animated series and films, and even a Broadway musical.  He has starred and guest-starred in thousands of comic books.

Superman is known in every corner of the world, and his S shield is instantly recognizable anywhere.

There have been a lot of changes to Superman and his mythos over the last 85 years (e.g. his now married and has a son), and many highs and lows (i.e. electric Superman, the mullet).  I’m sure there will be many, many more in the years to come.

But even at 85 years old, Superman is still going strong and remains my favorite fictional character.  I look forward to seeing what’s coming up for him next.  I especially hope to stick around long enough to see what happens in 10 years when Superman and Lois Lane (or at least the version of them that appeared in Action Comics #1) enter the public domain.  Those will be interesting times.

Happy Superman Day!

New lost media dropped like 2 months ago and it's precious

Ha! Ha! Ha!! (1934)

A redraw of a piece I did a few years ago.

Betty Boop: *is just vibing*

Random guy: *starts being really creepy and generally gets in her space*

Every furry in a 50 mile radius:

OC Alex got up super early to go get some water... just to find a strange demon stealing his food in the kitchen. The thing is, Dante's powers haven't fully come back to him yet, and since he teleported in this human's house, he figured he could uhm "borrow" some food to speed up his recovery. The demon definitely didn't expect to get busted, let alone to see some lower rank demons in this house...

Alex meets Dante, the crossover we all needed is here! Ok so I'm going to spill the beans: I didn't exactly have any plans for Dante after redesigning him, but at the same time I needed a character to revisit some of my original characters I haven't drawn in a while. And this is what he's been doing all this time hehe How do you like this idea?

Anyone else ever wonder how different society would be if we were all raised on Fleischer Animation rather than Disney???

Around 1939 or '40 there was this lovely, ample-bosomed blonde girl who was my older brother's girlfriend. Her name was Natalie. She lived across the little side street on which we played stickball. The room that held my piano, my studio, if you will, faced her windows. We were up on the fifth floor, and Natalie was across the street on the second floor. There were a number of times in the summer when Ray, my brother, threw open the window, sat on the sill with his leg up, and Natalie would be like Juliet, except she was below, not above, at her window. The two would gaze and gesture to one another. It was quite a distance from the fifth floor to the second floor across the street, and, you know, with kids in between playing stickball, it wasn't quite the situation where they could converse. So they developed a kind of sign language. One afternoon, Ray must've been in the throes of some great wave of passion. He sat me down, literally grabbed me by the arm, and put me on the piano bench. He knew that I could play the piano version of Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. He pointed to the music and said, "Play!" Then he went and sat on the sill while I played as loudly as I could, with the appropriate feeling. I played this love music while my brother sat on the sill making these great swooping gestures as if he were sending the music out the window down across the street to Natalie's window. I was twelve or thirteen and Ray was close to eighteen at the time. I felt like Cyrano de Bergerac. A musical Cyrano de Bergerac.
