Sit patiently, through Archie’s Fun House (AAARGH!)

Leapin' Lizards!!!! Little Orphan Annie's back! And this time, she's VERY animated... or at least as animated as Saturday day morning cartoon animation can get as Annie's ghost takes Daddy Warbucks on a whirlwind Christmas tour of the present and the future. No past, though.

Oh, I’m sure you’ve heard the stories… exactly one year ago today, a bunch of podcasters got together, in this very spot, to watch Halloween specials and rate them good or bad. In fact, some say they’re still here to this day, watching things like The Witch Who Turned Pink, Casper’s Halloween, The Crown of Bogg, and even short subjects like Mysterious Mose, Face Like A Frog, and Swing You Sinners! As a matter of fact…. THEY’RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU! (Extra special thanks once again to Morbiose for added

If you lived through the 1980s, then you probably remember Timer, a dancing, uh, apparently a lemon? Wearing a stovepipe hat? And singing about healthy eating? Well, he was a thing. But what was the origin of Timer? Well, turns out he came from this 1973 TV movie where he takes two children on a magical tour of their Uncle Carl's body like it's Osmosis Jones or something.

2021/10/18

So back in the days of yore, there used to be Scrabble games in the newspaper, next to the Junior Jumble and the Bridge. That's enough for us to justify this: A Halloween special with the Scrabble People, a failed attempt to market Scrabble to kids. Kids didn't go for it, cuz no one likes a game that tries to teach you stuff!

You all know the Wizard of Id, right? It's that classic comic by Johnny Hart and Brant Parker that definitely takes up space in the newspaper. Since everyone loves it so much, it might surprise you to know that there were not one but TWO attempted adaptions of this comic, one in cartoon form by Abe Levitow and one in puppet form by Jim Henson. We look at them both.

On April Fools Day 1997, the great (and other) comics on the funny pages decided to pull the ultimate gag: The Great Comic Switcheroonie.

This week, we look at all the switched comics and rate them on a scale of Far Side to Marvin. Which are good? Which are bad? Which are Fusco? You can follow along as well:
