It was a Charlie Brown Christmas with a sci-fi twist last month. Vincent’s guest on the “Creature Features” YouTube channel was Benjamin Clark, curator of the Charles M. Schulz Museum.

His Cuphead Runneth Over
Did you really think I meant it when I said there wouldn’t be another Cuphead post?
Cuphead is returning for an encore with his pal Mugman, and his new girlfriend, named Chalice. A Netflix series is also in the works.
The “USS Timberg” in the video is a reference to Sammy Timberg, who composed music for many Fleischer cartoons.
A Cuphead of Oil
Okay, maybe one more item that’s sort of related to Cuphead. It’s a beautifully animated Shell Oil commercial from 1940 that was shown in movie theaters. This could easily be turned into a Cuphead battle.
World Cuphead Final
Not being a gamer myself, thanks to my offspring I have been watching Cuphead in action. Tomorrow I should be receiving The Art of Cuphead book, and this will probably be my final post on the subject.
Godot Financial
This seems to be the financial model that my former employer has been holding onto. Unfortunately it’s year ten, with no huge surge in sight.
“Godot” is the Samuel Beckett character that never appears. This is Gadot, a different sort of model.
Reinventing the Reel
The Fleischer Brothers, the Disney Brothers, and now there are Moldenhauer Brothers.
The design of the Cuphead character, as well as the action in the game, reminds me of this obscure Japanese cartoon from the 1930’s.
