Ok I’ll see your Folger’s siblings commercial and raise you these guys. My headcanon was the son brought his boyfriend home for holiday family dinner. In a time of little representation we invented our own. Nothing contradicts it, so… also really thought this was a ‘90s ad but apparently 2003.

Roger Rabbit was released in 1988 and took place in 1947, 41 years earlier. If a Roger Rabbit movie was released today and followed a similar historical pattern it would take place in the ‘80s.

The double splitscreen shot from 1:13-1:42 is one of the most insane shots created during the photochemical era.
You’ve got a real woman fondling Maroon and Valiant at both ends of the shot, with the woman’s body hidden by splitscreens that run along the edges of the fluted columns in the BG…

A GameStop I went to yesterday had 4 out of the 5 Aerialbots which was kinda cool to see. They literally each had a different price tho, including the 3 deluxes 🤣 They also had SS86 Scavenger at yet another deluxe price, $24.99. Still not bad for a GameStop which I haven’t been in 1 in about a year?

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Wake me when Dave Franco gets announced for the Scrubs reboot (technically revival but I guess 'reboot' is the all encompassing buzzword that has to be used for these types of things).

Paul Reubens as Himself
Mixed media, 2025
Inspired by the documentary “Pee-Wee as Himself” and my own lifelong admiration of Paul Reubens, the man behind Pee-Wee Herman.
This one of a kind tribute is headed to @toydejour.bsky.social for their “Paging Mr. Herman” group art show next month.

Summer of 2003 I got to paint 2 Alternator Sideswipe prototypes. I was working at a model shop that did work for Hasbro. I had to finish painting and reassemble 2 models, one in robot mode, one in vehicle. Tasks foreshadowing what I would do directly for Hasbro a few years later.

The Palisades Kermit figure is now about the same age the Fisher Price fig was when the Palisades Muppets came out. I’ve wanted to do this comparison shot for a long time, but only just finally replaced my FP Kermit after 40-some years.

#TransformersLegacy #BeastWars Inferno is a Grade A+ Chosen One, the gold standard that all others will be judged against. I guess the one nitpick would be the Matrix isn’t as secured in Beast Mode. But dang those are some enviable chest mechanisms!
