Fortean Cartoons

[Souleater]

I noticed thete were now threads about fortean cartoons so i thought i would ask everyone what their favorite fortean cartoons are, there is a wide range of forteana including ghosts, aliens, cyborgs, robots etc personally i liked 'sport billy'

And 'the new schmoo'

Scooby Doo has to be in there for both content and the internet speculation around Scoob’s origin.

he internet speculation around Scoob’s origin.

All I know is that Casey Kasem suggested he was named after Frank Sinatra's musical ad-libs.

There used to be a lovely drawing of Scooby mourning at the grave of Shaggy who was killed in action in Vietnam.

But among the fan theories out there, the gang were always on the run to different locations in an effort to dodge the draft.

I think you would have had to be very desperate to draft Shaggy.

Clumsy, cowardly and probably very addicted.

(But, oddly, I can see him as a patriot...)

That thought makes me really sad

I think Fred and Shaggy had student deferment. Parapsychology students, of course.

The Beard (1978):

Willie Rushton doing the voice there. Starts comic, gets apocalyptic.

The Fly (1980):

Not that one. A fly's eye view. Not sure it wanted to end up like that!

Crazy, isn't it? Should have mentioned, The Fly won an Oscar - The Beard didn't!

I caught most of this as a child on TV, I loved it and it haunted me for many years afterwards, was able to rediscover it through the internet.

I used to love the "arty"/non-commercial cartoons you'd get on BBC2 and Channel 4, this is one of the few I've been able to find, mostly I'm just going on what I can remember of them, can't recall or I never knew the titles.

IIRC, that series sometimes went off the air, due to industrial action (CH4 had just started broadcasting?)

Sounds about right

BBC2 used to show a lot of National Film Board of Canada cartoons as well - and now the NFB has it's own YouTube channel where you can see most of them for free!

This morning on the Radio, I heard a report from the presenter that her Dustbin had gone missing after putting it out for emptying. Apparently, a few had phoned in saying theirs had gone missing also, and the theory was that they'd been gobbled-up in the back of the dustcart!
I'd contacted the local Council quite recently about another matter connected with recycling problems, and they said that there had been some problems with fewer refuse collectors due to covid and isolating.
Putting these two things together, I'd wondered if these were just handy excuses - which gave me a good excuse to draw-up this cartoon on my computer...
