4804ArticleNLoganAlso the high school kid that we skate hitched (skitched or bizzed) a ride from kept the basketball when he peeled out. He didn't stop to help us. Maybe that was his intention all along. Jan 14, 2019View
4825ArticleNLoganJason Liebig is cool if you credit him. He used to be an editor for marvel comics on Wolverine and Uncanny X-Men (during the stupid no nose, pirate mask, bone clawed, feral Wolverine period). He collects packaging and other ephemeral nostalgia pieces like catalogs. He has done quite a bit of work to show off his rare pieces. He called me out once for not crediting him. I reminded him that since most if not all are scans of actual packaging or product catalogs, with designs for playground equipment, catalog pages,etc. I failed to see how he would own images that are clearly copyrighted and or restricted by either the McDonald's corporation or Setmakers incorporated, or Sears, Hasbro, Kenner, whatever food corporation, etc. in the first place. I asked him if he got permission from them to photograph or scan their artist's works, designs, sculpts, products, food item packaging, and characters? The photos are in the public domain and he is displaying them on a website whose motto is "Share your photos, Watch the world" Flickr, or his own like candy collectors, or the wishbook one. I suggested that if he felt that he owned the images of trademarked McDonald's Characters or food items produced by McDonald's or other companies I suggest either putting a watermark over his images, putting them in a private gallery to be sold, or not displaying them over the public access portion of the internet. He told me to just be courteous and source his photos if I use them. He turned out to be a pretty cool guy with similar interests (besides his involvement with Wolverine at his worst, I have forgiven him I would have jumped at the chance to work on a book with my favorite character, it is not like he was the artist). Just make sure he is credited. A link to his website doesn't hurt either. You did both I see no problem. I have been visiting the candy collecting and wishbook sites for years and would have directed you to them sooner had I known you were unaware. I thought they were pretty much common knowledge and even used one I think to show you your Transformers pajamas.Sears Wishbook Finds 1986-1989Jan 31, 2019View
4840ArticleNLogan@Benjanime there was a female pink panther in the above mentioned Valentine's special and also in the episode pinkarella which was a spoof on Cinderella. He changes the witch into her and flies off on her broom with her. It us strongly implied that Pink Panther has offspring with a female panther because of the later cartoon series Pink Panther and Sons. That show wasn't my cup of tea as they were not silent like dad. If I remember right there were several girl Panthers and Panthers in different colors like purple, blue, and green.

4947ArticleNLoganI love playing Dragon Spirit! It was one of my favorites. We also played Rampart to death. Once you get to the Greek fire ships it becomes murderously hard. It was also a blast playing against each other turning the opponent's walls into Swiss cheese. I don't recommend Rampart in the arcade however as there was no joystick only a trackball that made building walls in time impossible.Underrated NES GamesMay 29, 2019View
