I’m still working on some big projects, so time for a little something something: a piece of animation history known as No Neck Joe.
The shorts themselves aren’t that amazing, they’re just short, silent cartoons backed by a peppy synth soundtrack that build up to an absurd joke at No Neck Joe’s existence. What makes them interesting is how this was Craig McCracken’s first pieces of animation work and how they were a staple at Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Animation Festival, though I don’t see how they are that sick after watching them (oh, do I jinx myself).
It does beg the question - what would an adult oriented show backed by Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust would look like? Maybe not this, but it’s certainly a thought. However, by the time Craig finished these shorts he was hard at work on Dexter’s Laboratory and soon the Powerpuff Girls, for some reason they were somehow popular enough a new set of shorts were commissioned by the Spike and Mike festival from a pre-Jimmy Neutron and Barynard DNA Productions, which feature stark enough differences with the art style, humor, animation and character design.
Yeah, now these shorts go places content wise. At least No Neck Joe gets a happy ending…
You can watch the complete collection of shorts below, but they do contain mature content later on so be advised if you’re sensitive to that stuff.

I still find it funny that Wipeout was on Saturn (and solid port jobs too) - too bad 2097 or XL or whatever is just hard to find in general no matter what it’s on

there there dk
Donkey Kong Land 3 was released for the regular Game Boy in 1997 worldwide; however, a special Game Boy Color version was released exclusively in Japan in 2000.
Top: the commercial for this version promoted it by stating that it contained two special cards for the (also Japan-exclusive) Donkey Kong Country trading game, being holographic Kiddy Kong cards. In the commercial, Donkey Kong looks at the cards and is moved to tears over their beauty.
Bottom: how the cards actually look, for comparison. This is what Donkey Kong is crying over.

Retro video game hot take: Sega’s ads here in North America sucked. They were really mean and gross and sexist and weird, and well…
I wanted to give my own spin on them.

I’m working on some stuff at the moment, so I wanted to make a little silly post in the meantime.
Being way too much into comics and Cartoon Network, I have this British CN comics annual that’s not easy to come by these days (I got it off eBay for 8 bucks from some dude in Florida).
On the surface it’s just a mere compliation of DC’s Cartoon Network comics from around that time…but this book is (gasp) - vandalized!
Okay, it’s not that bad, most of the vandalization is just some petty kid scribbling stuff in. It’s not annoying, but it is a little bit funny. What isn’t funny is that there’s no Courage the Cowardly Dog comic despite him being on that pretty sweet crossover cover.
The vandalization follows a pattern depending on the comic but I saved the most egregious for down below (did the Powerpuff Girls really need noses?)
