Opinions on Fangface??

Fangface is a show that’s been on my radar for a little while now and I knew I’d get to eventually since it is definitely something that ticks the boxes for shows I talk about on this blog - a monster kid, teenagers solving mysteries, Jerry Dexter voicing one of the characters. 

I’ve seen three of the episodes now (6,7, and 8), and so far I’m liking it. I like the take on the werewolf transformation the show has, with it being a psychological sort of deal with the whole Jekyll and Hyde thing it has going on. I especially like how the transformation can be triggered by just images of the sun and moon as well, again playing into the psychological side of being a werewolf.

The fact that it’s a show with a werewolf protagonist leads to a lot of fun mysteries that couldn’t be done in most of the other Mystery Teen shows, too - in the episodes I’ve seen so far there’s been dinosaurs, supervillains, and space creatures. It’s also an excuse to use sound effects from shows like Superfriends, which is always a bonus in my book since I have a ton of nostalgia for that series. These scenarios gave me strong The New Shmoo vibes, which makes sense given that they aired about the same time (though I think that Fangface did come out first).

The character designs are good as well, which I expected since I tend to like the designs in this kind of show. Puggsy’s design is probably my favorite since its the most unique amongst the Mystery Teen-type designs. The designs for Fangface is both his human form and werewolf form are good too, I like the backwards cap and lone fang. Kim stands out at least a little bit since she has darker skin which is rare in these shows, and Biff’s design is perfectly serviceable - not particularly memorable but nice enough.

Character-wise I do like Puggsy’s character, I like his talking mannerism of saying similar-but-not-quite-right words and his snarky-ness works well for comedic purposes. I mostly like his and Fangface’s dynamic, though that thing where Fangface always tries to attack him right after transforming is a little weird to me. According to Wikipedia their relationship and Puggsy’s character in general is supposed to be based on something I’ve never heard of before, so I suppose that’s a sign of good writing if I can still enjoy it without getting the reference. 

The main criticism I have with Fangface so far is that I wish the show did more with Kim and Biff, because there’s very little if anything going on with them. It is true that the comedic relief + companion characters often get the most screen time in these shows and that the “main guy and girl have limited personality” criticism can be applied to most of them as well, but at least those other shows will show what the two of them are doing while the group is split up to get some character interaction out of them. In the three episodes I saw there was basically none of that for Kim and Biff. The only thing I really remember about Kim is that she says “Willikers” as her catchphrase, and the only thing I really got from Biff is that he’s voiced by Jerry Dexter, so almost every time he was on screen my main thought was “yeah that’s Alan from Josie and the Pussycats all right” (aside from the one time it was “yeah that’s Ted from Goober and the Ghost Chasers all right”).

But like I said though, I am enjoying it so far. I debated whether or not I should post screenshots and stuff from it on this blog since it’s not actually Hanna Barbera but Ruby Spears, and I came down on the side of yes, if only because Ruby and Spears were the co-creators of Scooby Doo and thus it seems fair to include their other Mystery Teen show. The Fangface group can be honorary HB mystery solvers if you will.

Some seller in the UK has these Fangface illustrations listed for a pile of money. The wording in the auction is imprecise, but I'm assuming they are just fanart. But cool, so I'm sharing them. I really hope the series ends up on Boomerang/HBOMax at some point. Also a revival cartoon series and/or comics wouldn't hurt my feelings. #fangface #rubyspears #hannabarbera #boomerangstreamingservice #boomerang #hbomax #cartoons #cartooncharacters #plasticman #ScoobyDoo #shermanfangsworth #puggsy #shermanandpuggsy #puggsyandfangs #boweryboys #biffandkim (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B98O2DCBTJ7/?igshid=1mfnkv7s68ajm

Stress sketch of Puggsy.

[zee-isaiah-pugnacious7-blog]

Summary behind THIS picture: An evil mastermind invented a machine to combine the DNA of two powerful warriors and use the clone to heed his will. The Fangface gang wind up interfering. In a comedy of errors, Fangs and Puggsy's DNA end up in the machine; instead of a super warrior, they end up with their own kid! *You may take a moment to question my sanity* The two friends learn the struggles of parenthood as the gang takes care of the child, Dustin... especially with their enemy out for vengeance! Hopefully their influence will help their son find his own skills for defense... and maybe a special trait from one of his fathers ;)

cc facts while this is my permanent account now i guess? xD (more under the cut)

There are approximately 1500+ countries on Arda (Earth). The entirety of the Earth is protected by the EMCU, centered in The Benevolent and Blessed Confederacy of Missouri, in the Former United States Region. The Exoversal Major Crimes Unit is lead by Trippz Grissom, who came from the Unity Hearts Multiversal Cluster. The Crossover Chaos Exoverse was formed from a parental dispute between Xedra Colmare, and her then-husband Xalgoth. Their dispute was so explosive, that it destroyed Exoverse Zero, and started the First Exoverse. The couple had 3 sons, and 1 daughter that they were fighting over. Bone, the oldest, Venom, the second oldest, Ice, the second youngest, and the only daughter, and then the baby of the children, Qhkarus Colmare, who later reincarnated into Puggsy (Fangface). Fanboy (Fanboy and Chum Chum) is in the Adventurer's Club (Mission: Magic!) due to being in a relationship with the leader, Kim Yu. He loves her to pieces, and they are due to marry within a few weeks as of this writing.

Fred Jones and Daphne Blake (Scooby Doo) ended up together, and ended up having kids. Velma is an eternal bachelor, and Shaggy ended up with Makoto of Jupiter, also known as Sailor Jupiter. (This was inspired by ScoobMoonBusters) Fangs (Fangface) is gay, and ended up with a skateboarder by the name of Ken Hunter. They were both famous in the 2000s for their skateboarding, so they are considered a power couple. Winston Zeddemore ended up retiring from the Ghostbusters, and is now married to Queen Ti'yah Clarke of the Desert Nekonian peoples. He is also a Monster Hunter, and is good friends with Black Panther and the people of Wakanda. Nagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro (Futari Wa Pretty Cure) are married. They still have their Precure powers in this universe, and Nagisa is a high ranking commander in the Japanese Defense Force. She is semi-retired from it, though, but can still be called in if there's a situation. Honoka works at S.H.I.E.L.D as a scientist, alongside Velma Dinkley, Tom Van Beuren (Van Beuren Tom and Jerry), also of the Antiknyghtz!, and many others. Eugene Meltsner (Adventures in Odyssey) is an alien, his blood originating from the planet Bagklock. He is of the Ixfay tribe, and is a Bagklockian Skypiean. His real name is Yuija Malznar, and he is of blood related to the previous royal family. He cannot step foot on Bagklock due to that fact, and has lived on the planet of Avalon most of his life. Milkweed (Fanboy and Chum Chum), Hogwarts and Sakurazami (Magic School from Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure) are part of the same school system. Hikaru Hoshina (Star Twinkle Pretty Cure) went here in Crossover Chaos after graduating her canon school. This is where she met Gastoon Lagaffe (formerly Bow Lagaffe), and Kyle Bloodsworth-Tomason. They currently share an apartment together. Shantae is in a relationship with Vinnie Malaproper (Mission: Magic!). Because of this, she is semi-retired from protecting Sequin Land, which is situated in the Caribbean in this universe. If shit goes down, though, she will go there and save the day. Vinnie often comes along when this happens. The Lylat System (Star Fox) is a dead galaxy. It is currently being mined by the Byakkan Empire, a black comedy parody of KallyPanaStudio's Jellielandia. John Avery Whittaker (Adventures in Odyssey) is a retired Green Lantern. He used to fight alongside Hal Jordan back in the day, and retired during the Blackest Night Crisis. Beatrix (Gaston) Lagaffe is a Grey Jedi. She used to be a true Jedi, but then lost her mind, becoming what she is now. She is also a Grendel, a space werewolf species, is queen of them, and is also a trans woman. Gaston, her name in original canon, is instead her deadname. British Columbia, a capitalist country originally part of Canada, and Alberta, a communist country also originally part of Canada, constantly butt heads over a lot of stupid stuff. The rest of the 1500+ countries in the world think they're idiots. In the ancient past, an ancestor of Housemaster (Arfenhouse) came to Earth from space and landed in Ancient Ireland. His spaceship looked like a toaster, and he even called it such. Hence, why the country of Ulster is named such, and why toasters are named toasters. Wreck-it Ralph and Fix-it Felix are the mail carriers for Muncie, the Democratic Protectorate of Indiana. They have rubbed shoulders with Garfield and Jon Arbuckle, by the way, and are aware of Garfield's heritage from the Stars and Stripes Supergalaxy, and his ties to the Biker Brethren of the planet of Washington. They find it super ridiculous. Sailor Moon and Goku are married, and rule the Moon Kingdom together, due to the fact that Tuxedo Mask and Chichi died heroically in the Exoversal War. Chibiusa in the Crossover Chaos universe's father is Goku, hence she has a pink Saiyan tail. The universe of Ni No Kuni is one of many "parallel universes" in Crossover Chaos, and Swaine Pendragon, who in this universe is a Naga, comes from that universe. Parallel Universes and Alternate Universes are different things. Parallels are universes where there are different people existing then the main verse. Alternates are where the same people exist as the main verse, but are under different circumstances then the main verse. Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is in the same school system as U.A. High School (My Hero Academia) and the Splitsboro Sidekick Academy (Sidekick), among others. The Time Knife (The Good Place) is on Pluto, in the Time Palace. It is watched 24/7 by guards that are trained from birth to protect it.

I always have this headcannon that if someone hurt Puggsy, it would drive Fangface into a rage. Granted in the show he always put Pugs through some cartoony torment, but I'm talking like a serious injury or a death threat. Fangface is the type to always stand up for his friends, and if someone hurt his best friend... yikes.

Watching scary movies. Fangs: GAH! TOO SCARY! THAT CLOWN IS FREAKING ME OUT! HOLD ME, PUGS! Puggsy: It's a frickin' McDonald's commercial, pinhead! (Also included Baby Fangs cuz he's cute)

Inktober #2: Fangface and Puggsy I will never get tired of drawing these two! There was always a running gag on the show where Fangface sat on Puggsy's shoulders... but in this situation it's vice-versa XD

[zee-isaiah-pugnacious7-blog]

Inktober #21: Chibi Rescue I outlined with pen AND markers, then got crazy with the filters on this one! So I had this idea for an AU where Fangface and Puggsy met as kids... mainly because Pugs was running through the woods one night and fell over a cliff. (Danger prone aura kicked in early, I guess). Luckily, Fangsy was around to save him ^^

[zee-isaiah-pugnacious7-blog]

Fangface: Wait a minute! How come I have to go first?!

Puggsy: Because if I go first and get hurt, who's gonna visit you in the hospital?

Sometimes I think Puggsy needs a little more love.
