I remember being in front of the TV for these in '67/'68.. My intense devotion to collecting Captain America started here.
Simply the best cartoons, actual comic panels coming to life. I have all the episodes (except Submariner) on multiple DVDs, and I take a few with me on military trips, just for relaxing in my room with pizza and brews.
I was already 17 and well into 17 yr. old stuff when the show came out, but that didn't stop me from taking the time to watch every episode. Great stuff. Was a good time in my life.
Let's just say, my Mom never had a BETTER baby sitter than this show. I was mesmerized..
I have to laugh at folks who urge Blu-Ray for these and other animated 60s cartoons. Shoot, I was LUCKY to have these in non-fuzzy B&W WITH the 'horizontal hold' working with rabbit ear antennas, much less COLOR now.....
Bythe way, just watched the Grinch the other night on cable, re-colored a few years back. YUCK.. WAY TOO much color, practically bleeding off the screen. It was actually hard to watch, seemed more like watching the digitized 'Yellow Submarine' than Grinch. I prefer the older, more subtle coloring, the untouched prints..
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

ALL-TIME FAVORITE cartoons ever.

I love the songs especially the Hulk one - "...the ever-lovin' Hulk...HULK HULK."
These were slightly ahead of my time. I was more Birdman and the Galaxy Trio.
