Cartoon With Multiple Stuck Themes

The same animator who created the Chick Magnet toon (see previous post) later created a new cartoon for another on-line competition that that fizzled out---







That guy seems to have the worst luck in choosing video contests.

Chick Magnet - Literally

aThe animator initially created this as a contest entry for adgiggle.com ---




The contest ended without a winner being declared.

Jungle Girl Nyoka Has Been Mucking Around

 quiIn the course of her comic book career, Nyoka found herself bust-deep in mire during four different adventures. It's a dubious track record that no other jungle heroine would likely challenge. 

She apparently never learned to tread carefully on smooth, flat surfaces or to carry a long pole. Nor was she privy to the standard quicksand survival tips (don't struggle, try to gradually shift to a horizontal position). She barely had the foresight to bring a length of rope.

Her big-screen incarnation exhibited slightly better sense, but managed to land in other nasty predicaments during two Republic serials... 'Jungle Girl' and 'The Perils Of Nyoka'.
Despite the deathtraps, Nyoka survived a slew of appearances in Fawcett's 'Master Comics' and 67 issues of her own title. 

The following dramatic misstep comes from Nyoka issue 67---

Gilligan's Island - Mary Ann Steps In Glue - Veooooohhh!

I was trying to post the infamous stuck scene from 'Gilligan's Island' to YouTube, but Time-Warner tagged it for using copyrighted material. The media giant apparently holds the video rights to the series... and has a feature film adaptation in the works.

So I uploaded it to Veoh instead.

The bad news:  you have to watch a commercial first.

The good news: if you're willing to sign up with Veoh and install their player on your Windows PC, you can download the video.

Wonder Woman - Da Feet In Concrete

During her Silver Age Comics tenure, Wonder Woman's adventures drifted toward the bizarre, if not downright goofy. While it might have provided excellent fetish fuel, the following tale from issue 128 broke the wacky-meter by the fifth page...


Apparently, an unconscious Amazon becomes totally rigid and doesn't breathe noticeably. In this same fact-filled issue, we learned that her Invisible Robot Plane is actually a flying horse in disguise.
