This crew makes plenty of appearances in my sketchbook, but I don’t get to polish them up and post them as often as I’d like. So this template was the perfect excuse!

PLANET OF THE TOONS POSTER CONCEPTS 1-30 (January 4, 2022 - April 4, 2024)

Now that I got all sixty mockup poster design conceptual artwork done thus far for my Planet of the Toons epic work still in progress thus far, may I present, ladies and gentlemen, young and old, the first 30 poster conceptual artworks done by me for my Planet of the Toons epic in progress done between January 4, 2022 to April 4, 2024. (though this may be very rough at the beginning, yes, and sure, even the live actors represented may not be the final actors for the roles that I have in mind for this.)

Now, PLANET OF THE TOONS is one of the most amazing, incredible, awe-inspiring, unusual, interesting, remarkable, extraordinary, phenomenal, extra-special, and uniquely entertaining films of any kind that we’ll ever see in a very long time.

Being Timothy Robert McKenzie's (or I'd rather make that MY) monumental epic of good versus evil as well as of life and adventure being lived on so many different levels among all different kinds of races and species of fantastic beings and creatures - many of them being played by all kinds of cartoon characters and personalities from all across the history and world of animation art - it is a gigantic saga chock-full of action, adventure, romance, drama, pathos, and the occasional cartoon comedy slapstick humor and anarchy that one would still expect from something straight out of the Golden Age of American Animation, while also being very steeped both in the tradition of epic fantasy and science fiction as well as in the history and world of  animation and cartoons of any kind in America and elsewhere.

All of these things are meant to be highly entertaining and enjoyable in a very good way.  And while many of the more full-blooded epic moments of action, adventure and drama are strange, unlikely territory for any type of cartoon characters that has had their original roots in early 20th Century vaudeville and silent film as well as classic slapstick comedy, some are meant to illustrate, even in the near, middle, or far future, the true determiners of a heroic civilization across the stars, such as the struggle of right and wrong, courage in the face of oppression, the willingness to sacrifice one’s self for the greater good, and the belief that good will ultimately triumph over evil. 

And think of it all as like a sweeping 21st Century combination of “The Lord of the Rings” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” (with some elements of Dune, Star Wars, even James Cameron's AVATAR movies being thrown in for good measure!), only set on another planet just like our own planet Earth, but located on the faraway edge of the universe out in space. 

Among the living ink-and-painted cartoon beings and creatures appearing in this rousing, action-packed, vividly told, and breathtakingly awesome epic tale of otherworldly visitation includes (but are not limited to): Bugs Bunny, King of Rascals and Tricksters, Daffy Duck, his greedy rival, Elmer Fudd, the not-so-mighty hunter prowling through Acme Forest (all three of whom are of Looney Tunes fame), Gertie the Dinosaur (the first cartoon character with a personality, created by Windsor McCay of Little Nemo fame), Popeye the Sailor, Olive Oyl, J. Wellington Wimpy, Bluto (all four of whom were once worked on by the Fleischer Bros. and created by E.C. Segar), Ali Baba’s Forty Thieves (probably from some old 17-minute-long Popeye color cartoon from 1937), Dexter the Boy Genius, Dee Dee, his sister (of Dexter's Laboratory fame), Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Jiminy Cricket (of the Disney Pinocchio fame), Scrooge McDuck (all of them Disney characters, though Scrooge McDuck himself actually originated in a comic book by Carl Barks), Mandark Astronomenov, the Dark Lord of the planet and Dexter’s jealous and hateful rival (of Dexter's Laboratory Ego Trip infamy, that is), and Fievel Mousekewitz and Tanya Mousekewitz, the brother and sister mouse pair decreed by an ancient prophecy, along with one of three visiting astronauts from Earth, to save the PLANET OF THE TOONS around them all from the long-standing and destructive evil unleashed by Mandark many centuries ago. 

The magic is that even in the future, heroes still come in many shapes, sizes and species, and that’s perfectly fine. And very soon you along with your friends and loved ones can enjoy this gigantic, sweeping epic of a wondrous, heroic civilization where cartoons and humans - okay, and still-living dinosaurs, too! - share a faraway planet of color, sound, and vision, where good and evil struggle for control of all around them, and all in the comfort of your favorite movie theater near you...and ON YOUR PLANET. 

Anyway, hopefully, you will see the last 30 poster concept art for my Planet of the Toons epic in progress on the very next post coming up...

Apple Oyl The Sailor Girl (Popeye AU)

So, this particular Popeye AU fan-art series features & stars the rebellious older 19 year-old daughter of Popeye and Olive Oyl named "Apple Oyl" who essentially inherited her father’s godly strength and fighting skills while also having her mother’s charm and good looks….BUT she ultimately decided from a young age to follow in her father’s footsteps in the United States Navy to ultimately become a globetrotting adventuring sailor in SPITE of her father (much to Popeye’s chagrin as he has to deal with his own overwhelming fear/concern for her overall safety and wellbeing) while also having a massive and slightly one-sided crush on her much beloved arch-rival Captain Cleo “Cats-Eye” The Pirate (a.k.a. Bluto’s Half-Giant Daughter) as she regularly sails the seven seas looking for new fun adventures, dangers and experiences along the way from her own hometown of Sweet-Haven.

Popeye in relation to Hanna-Barbera, more or less

As many of you probably know by now, copyright in the original version of Popeye the Sailor, as introduced by cartoonist Elsie Segar in his "Thimble Theater" strip in January 1929, goes into public domain with the arrival of 2025 in the United States.

Now mind you, this was the version before Popeye started gaining his superhuman powers via spinach (although in an early radio treatment of the character, Wheatena, a hot wheat porridge, was Popeye's source of strength) ... before Olive Oyl and Popeye were romantically linked (know, when Popeye debuted, Olive Oyl was dating Ham Gravy) ... and before the likes of Bluto, J. Wellington Wimpy, Swee' Pea, Eugene the Jeep and Popeye's nephews of Peep Eye, Pip Eye, Poop Eye and Pup Eye were even part of Popeye's supporting cast; those particular elements, for the time being, remain under King Features' copyright (King Features being part of the Hearst Corporation).

Those such being deployed in Hanna-Barbera's treatment of the franchise, The All-New Popeye Hour, as aired on CBS in their 1977-78 Saturday-morning programme and would continue off and on for a few more seasons, culminating with The Popeye and Olive Oyl Show in the 1981-82 season, also on CBS but reduced to a half hour. (The former including the Dinky Dog shorts as a segment, such sold overseas in its own right.) However, in line with prevailing standards, and quite in contrast to earlier syndicated film and TV treatments, both repackaged and first-run product airing as part of hosted children's shows locally from about the mid-1950's on, the violence was considerably toned down lest children watching Pick Up Bad Ideas and an occasional "goody-goody" public-service message being thrown into the context.

Now you know.

I Yam What I Yam (Or Pretend To Be)

One of the cartoons I watched as a kid was from the 1930s, called Popeye: The Sailor Man. Popeye was a unique character as he was this skinny, one-eyed (no, he was not a cyclops, just drawn with a perpetual wink), pipe-smoking grumpy guy with a jutting chin and freakishly big forearms who received “Super Strength” every time he ate spinach. Popeye had a best friend named J. Wellington Wimpy. He…

No, this is not an actual vintage comic! Yes, I drew this! The sequence of events behind it:

-I watched the 1980 Popeye movie

-I started reminiscing about my childhood interest in Popeye and my favorite character from the bunch, Wimpy

-I read some of the old Popeye comics by E.C. Segar

-I remembered this joke from Spongebob and decided to draw it like a classic comic with Popeye characters.
