Woo hoo! Here’s to 2024.
That clip is from “Young and Healthy”, a 1933 Warner Brother’s cartoon. Another stereotype that MeTV, to its credit, didn’t cut.

The Ram Ones
On the Movies! channel I happened to catch a bit of the Ramones in 1979’s Rock ‘n’ Roll High School with — wowee! — P.J. Soles, who’s five years older than I am.
Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy, their original drummer turned producer, are gone. Only Marky carries on the proud name of Ramone, inspired by Paul “Ramon” McCartney in the Silver Beatles.
Note: I didn’t bother seeing if this is available on YouTube, because it’s a video experiment in converting MTS to MP4. Making it browser-compatible turned out to be rather tricky. Let me know if you see or hear a problem.

I made this for tastewar almost nine years ago?!
That would have been done with my old Acer tower PC.
Pulse-Pounding ALL JOE Post!
Joe Sinnott felt his inking style meshed best with John Buscema’s drawings, and I agree with that. But it’s Joe’s work with Jack Kirby that will be best remembered. Here is a prime example.
Joe on Gene Colan was a surprisingly good pairing.
Gil Kane was his own best inker. Joe’s inking worked, but it wasn’t an ideal match-up.
Neal Adams and Joe were two masters of comic book art who admired each other’s work, but their styles weren’t complementary.
The cover art by Buscema for Silver Surfer #1 has Joe’s name written in pencil, but it was obviously inked by Frank Giacoia. Okay, so this post isn’t 100% Joe!
