Before he was a Nickelodeon star, #BigNate was (and still is) a comic strip. Lincoln Peirce did an entire storyline this week leading up to #Schulz100 answering the question: who is Nate’s favorite person? Well, obviously it’s himself. But who’s his SECOND favorite?
Paramount+ has announced that a feature-length #BabySharksBigShow movie will bow on the platform Holiday 2023. The Nick Animation/Pinkfong co-production is directed by Alan Foreman, who won an Emmy Award for directing the opening credits to #TheCasagrandes.
Members of The Usual Gang of Idiots are reporting the passing of Paul Coker Jr. at age 93. Besides being a prolific MAD Magazine illustrator known for his “Horrifying Cliches” series he also did the character designs for all of the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials from 1969 onward.
#TinyToonsLooniversity lead character designer Len Kiraly-Lee has confirmed that Buster and Babs are twin siblings in this incarnation. (In the original series they were just friends and it was a running gag they would explain their last names were a coincidence: “no relation”.)
One thing I love about Milholland’s Popeye is that he’s taking the same approach that Youngberg and Angones did with DuckTales - all cartoon and comic versions of Popeye are canon (as jokingly exemplified by this strip satirizing the “multiverse” concept). https://t.co/tHpDlftXJm
@irujuudazzo @Exalted_Speed Randy Milholland took over the Sunday Popeye strip last month from Hy Eisman, who officially established Bluto and Brutus are twin brothers.
