lonestar? you went obscure.
Eye of the Eagle!

Kal said...

I knew you would get it.

I know a fraction of them, but I can name all the colors. Can I still be your peeps?

Pearl said...

Kal? Are you in the Danger Zone?

Kal said...

I am riding right into the Danger Zone, baby.

Kal said...

Robyn, sometimes I don't know how you live with absolutely no knowledge or interest in popular culture. Then I find it adorable. Then I want to show you all the things you were good to have avoided wasting your time with the first time around but I would never do that to you. It would ruin the rare person that you are. You exist outside the Matrix and I need your wisdom that comes from that in my life.

All from the 80's!

Kal said...

Best decade ever. I am really embracing those time as I get older. Great, memorable, and goofy all at the same time. The last pure decade before the beginning of the Digital Revolution. I am glad I was born (1965) into a truly transformative period in human history.

Ricky Shambles said...

Somehow I don't have to look up that the green lion pilot is Pidge.

"Rock-y Ro-ad?"

Oh my god, I think I can name every reference. Wowzers. Wait - where's he? And Danger Mouse?

Sorry.

Jem is truly outrageous!

Ricky Shambles said...

And totally not being a dick, but I think Budd means Bravestarr.

Mike D. said...

Um, is it me or is Lando putting the pimp moves on She-Ra while drinking a 40 oz. of Colt 45? Leave it to the black dude to try and turn out the white girl.... lol!

Love the Devo guy on the steps, and Jem playing in the background reminds me of my sister. I also love the O.G. Tron cutting records like Daft Punk in Legacy.

Great piece... do you know the artist?

Kal said...

I don't Mike. I just found it uncredited on Tumblr.

I got everyone but that bear like thing at the top of the stairs. Was is EWOKS or GUMMY BEARS?

And does any know the name of the little guy in the glass at the bottom of the picture. I want to say SNARKS or SNARFS but that doesn't feel correct.

Ricky Shambles said...

Cal- the bear/badger is the ONLY one I can't get too. Guy in the glass is a snork.

Kal said...

YES, a SNORK!!! Now I have to know what the bear/badger thing is.

Wings1295 said...

Can probably name them all!

Kal said...

You are the one person who BETTER be able to name them all. Any idea of that bear guy at the top left? He is the only one that is stumping me.

Ermine said...

That's like getting a hug from a grandma holding a fifty.

Wings1295 said...

No clue who that bear is. Guess he is friends with the space-cowboy dude next to him?

Ricky Shambles said...

My research has netted nothing. I hope your other readers figure it out or I will lose sleep.

What did I figure was missing?
Wonder Twins
Spaceghost
Superfriends
Dungeons & Dragons
Fraggle Rock
Thundarr the Barbarian
Gummi Bears
Paw Paws
The Littles
Kid Video
Robotech
Shirt Tales

It's wonderful art as it is. Just sayin'...

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com said...

As long as I'm still one of your peeps, Kal.
;-) xo

Kal said...

Always. There is even a membership patch.

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com said...

Phew. I'm sure it has a cool logo, too. You'll just have to explain it to me, and I'll wear it with pride.

FOUND!

"Ryan Dunlavey is a freelance artist based in New York City. He was educated in traditional "analog" illustration and animation techniques at Syracuse University and New York City's School of Visual Arts. He's also the co-creator and artist of the award-winning Action Philosophers comic book series."

And we're not the first to freak out about the bear (Ryan's post about the bear no one knows...)

His answer: "He's Kodiak from The Bearriors - a group of eco-themed animal warriors, it was an obscure Coleco toy line and short-lived cartoon that ran in syndication in early 1988, and was kind of a cross between Captain Planet and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Now I can sleep...

Mike D. said...

Nice Work RickY!

Kal said...

You have done a man's work Ricky. I have no rememberances of that show. Must have only been show to bears in the deep woods. I would have remembered something called Berriors.

DrGoat said...

Where's the Tick?

Mike D. said...

Cal, did you read the link Ricky put up? It explains that The Bearriors were a hoax from toyfare... and the artist was in on it!!! ThATS WHY You & I, plus everyone else, don't know who these fucks are....

Ricky Shambles said...

Yes Mr. Mike D- I just grabbed a quote without clarifying the whole thing was a hoax. Thanks. Everyone- read the whole article :)

Kal said...

That is a dickhead move especially when directed at those of us who would know all the characters. Just to drive up crazy over the one we didn't.

But that means that NOW I do know everyone so that also means that I am awesome. If your face art boy.

Megan said...

I like it.

Budd said...

I think it was bravestar, was there a lonestar too? it has only been about 20 years. I should have googled it.
