While packing up this month, i found this wonderful piece that belongs to my wife. It’s a book and record set from France very similar to our Power Records or I guess the Disney book and records. Canada has a large French population so many books, records and toys native to France were available here.


I am told that the French Battle of the Planets storybooks were in high demand at the local library where my wife grew up.


While there is no real novelty to copying the record (at least for me, I only know swears), I did think it would be fun to scan the great art from the accompanying pages, so transmute after the jump.








“G Force Hair” was our term for bed head in my college dorm.


I want to note that Hoyt Curtain is credited on the inside, so this featured the original series theme. I am left to assume that the voice actors may actually be the ones who dubbed the series for France as well.



1 Rover 1 is the anti-Scrappy Doo in my book, I’d buy any piece of merchandise I see of him.

I’m pretty smitten with the art in this, i can’t believe it’s been in a drawer for 20 years.

The aforementioned Giant Dinosaur, Spectra had style…



Zoltar being a girl is one of the more mind blowing cartoon reveals of all time, I did not see that coming. I just thought he had really full lips…

This was called “Tornado Fighter” on Gatchaman. I’m not sure why Zoltar is surprised they’re doing this, they always do this…

Wow, they even broke out the fiery Phoenix for this one.

Phew!…Wait, robots don’t sweat!

And the world is saved until around 4:30 tomorrow, when it will be in peril yet again.

]]> Valley of the Dinosaurs

I haven’t done a CBT at all this year, so I’m glad I found this book whilst visiting the groovy retro store Planet of the Stuff two weeks back.


I remember this show well as a kid, mostly because to me it seemed like an animated knock off version of my beloved Land of the Lost.


However I was surprised that the two shows came out at the same time, Lost was the clear winner as Valley never had another season.

Let’s take a look at this after the jump…








Batman coloring book

The origin story is unbelievably similar to Land of the Lost. Hanna Barbera makes sure to add the trappings a complete family and a pet. Their cavemen counter part family has a pet dinosaur ala the Flintstones.

Dune coloring book

That’s the same logic of a person who showers mid stream in a slasher movie. The main story of this book is son Gregg endangers both families when he pisses off a brontosaurus by stealing some oranges.

Dune coloring book

How many times have we all said that?
The family is trapped and about to drown, so Gregg elects to save them which results in this:



Dune coloring book


The love and respect of Gorak, something we should all strive for people.



In hindsight I probably should have at least scanned one page depicting a dinosaur….

We’ve probably mentioned Filmation in every one of our shows (it’s our anniversary BTW, what did you get us?) so it’s no surprise that Jason and myself are huge fans of the legendary animation company.


Episode one explore our earliest memories of Filmation and tries to relay the Saturday morning experience, look for a longer episode 2 in the coming months.


For now we touch upon the DC comics Superheroes, Archie, the Groovy Goolies, Fat Albert, Shazam!, bubble gum rock, dog toys and my obsession with Winnebagos.
