Warm up sketch today focuses once again on Filmation’s Ghostbusters series. Prime Evil might have Jake on the ropes, but we know how every episode ends!

And here’s the cartoon intro, which will bury itself into your mind:

Another of my favorite 80s cartoons. This one had what is widely considered to be one of the best ever intros. And did you know that an extended version of the theme is floating around out there?
I landed on the pose before I figured out the subject of my latest warm up sketch. Once I saw the almost manic running pose, I instantly thought of one of my favorite Transformers of all time.

I recorded the inking process on this one, which it seems I haven’t done since forever:
Sped up 3X. Which only seems appropriate, given the subject matter!
When I was a kid I constantly practiced talking like Blurr’s one and only voice actor, John Moschitta. Which I think is partly why I think I’m kinda good at talking fast today. Here’s John in one of his Micro Machines commercials:
It’s another round of holiday-themed cartoon discussions, this time focusing on Halloween. But instead of halloween specials, Dave Roman joins me to discuss three halloween-ish episodes of some episodic cartoon series.
Who passes the Halloween test? Kim Possible, Transformers: Animated, or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? The answer may surprise you! I know it did us!

Took time for a warm-up sketch today before diving into penciling, and I got my inspiration when I looked over at the shelf next to my desk:

You can imagine my reaction to the BATS when I was 12 years old: Cobras? Robots? SIGN ME UP Loved the lenticular shield on their chests to give the impression of looking at their robot innards (didn’t make sense, but hey, that’s part of the kid logic of G.I. Joe-why are they wearing clothes as well?). Interchangeable gun-hands just sealed the deal. These days I have several in my collection, and I never get tired of them.
Plus, since they were robots, we now got to watch Sgt. Slaughter go wildly violent on them without having to worry about parent groups censoring our show!
Check out the 5:23 mark for awesome Slaughter action:
Robots. Cobras. Great Big Punch-Out Scenes. Great.
