That was the first thing to come to my mind. Those were good times.

Funny how a few images and some music can be so evocative and conjure up old memories, even smells and tastes!

Thanks Commish!

WHO?

Why, JJJason, of course! Definitely a man after my own heart. My very first web page was going to be a comprehensive Segar/Fleischer online guide, but that Super Powers thing derailed me. ;)

I think the Segar strips are my favorites out of all comics, and that’s saying something. I also recommend reading Bill Blackbeard’s article, “The First (Arf, Arf) Superhero of Them All”, in the book “All in color for a dime”.

That brings back some good childhood cartoon memories! They just don’t make cartoons like they used to! Now if we can just get DCUC to make a Teddy Roosevelt figure…. perhaps a con exclusive.

Thanks for sharing it! The Fleischer studio created some really classics.

Back when I was a kid and dinosaurs roamed the earth, Popeye and Mighty Mouse were my two favorite cartoons. I’ve often wondered about that. Both series always ended with the hero beating the thunder out of the opponent. A simple solution for a simpler time, I suppose.

It’s a shame we don’t have cartoons of Teddy Roosevelt. I bet those would be a hoot!
