Lennon Cartoons

I recently discovered Lennon Cartoons on Facebook and thought they were pretty funny. He has a bunch of cartoons featuring monsters or Halloween but that's not all he does. I recommend you check out his page. Below are some of my favorites.

Sorry, I had to include this one because I'm a huge Hulk fan.

 

My Costume This Year and Party Pics

This year my wife and I dressed up as Hagar the Horrible and his wife Helga. My tunic was a thrift store blanket I cut up and my mother-in-law sewed together. The black x's on my legs is electrical tape. The helmets were gold, I spray painted them silver. The beard was crocheted by someone on Etsy. My wife hand braided her yarn hair.

 Here's some of the other costumes at the party we went to ~~

Our hosts: the witch doctor and his voodoo doll

 The Ring and Ghoulardi

 Shaun of the Dead

 Ted Bundy and Peg Bundy

 Bob Ross and a happy little tree

 Mary Poppins and a chimney sweep

 I love the '70s!

 The big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood

 Cruella DeVille and one dalmatian

Here's some of the food we enjoyed ~~

Janet Waldo, R.I.P.

I posted her death notice on the FB page earlier, but I wanted to say a little more about her here.

I have always loved cartoons and Janet Waldo did voices in many of my favorites. Besides Judy Jetson, she was Lana Lang in the 1960s Superman cartoons, Granny Sweet in The Atom Ant Show, Penelope Pitstop in Wacky Races, Josie in Josie and the Pussycats, Morticia in The Addams Family cartoon, Princess in Battle of the Planets, Hogatha in The Smurfs, and so many more. Rest in peace Ms. Waldo. I will miss your voice.

From ew.com --

Janet Waldo, the prolific voice actress best known for her role as The Jetsons’  eldest daughter Judy, has died, her daughter confirms to ABC News. Waldo was 96.

In addition to her work as the animated teen of the future, Waldo voiced a number of Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, ranging from Penelope Pitstop to Josie and the Pussycats’ Josie. Her last credited voice work came in 2000, when she reprised Pitstop in a Wacky Races video game.

Waldo, who passed away on Sunday morning, was diagnosed with a benign but inoperable brain tumor five years ago, says daughter Lucy Lee.

Born in Washington in 1920, Waldo began her career with an uncredited role in the 1938 film Cocoanut Grove, going on to do steady work in radio. In 1952, she appeared in an episode of I Love Lucy and went on to make television appearances on programs like The Andy Griffith Show, Get Smart, and Petticoat Junction before transitioning to animation. The Jetsons ran from 1962-1987.

Akron Comicon 2014 Review Part 3: Stuff I Bought

I go to these comic book shows and never buy any actual comic books! Haha! Here's what I did pick up:

Hulk Marvel Universe figure, Hulk String Doll and one KISS trading card.

The original art for Hulk Annual #17 (1991), page 18. Story: Subterranean Wars (Part II) - As Old as the Hills. Written by Peter David, penciled by Ron Wagner, inked by Mike Witherby.

Inker Mike Witherby had a stack of original art for $25 each. He had two pages from this issue and I liked this one better. Even though it doesn't actually feature the Hulk, it does have Rick Jones, Mole Man and Tyrannus. I'm gonna have to glue the word balloons back on.

Animation cel from the 1995-96 Savage Dragon cartoon. Bought from Art-Toons.

Painter Smurf production drawing from the 1980s Smurf cartoon. Also bought from Art-Toons.

Acroyear from the Micronauts sketch card by artist Carter Allen.

Knifehead from Pacific Rim sketch greeting-card by Carter Allen. I won this sketch at his table.
