Normal nerd, generic geek, ordinary otaku, and all around scatter brained nobody. I try to be cool, but I know I’ll fall head first and land on my butt so please laugh with me; not at me. Love and Peace! 🤞🍩

This sequence by Shinji Otsuka was the first animation test for Tokyo Godfathers, and it served as a reference for the rest of the team

I still kind of love all of it except for the look of whatever that really trippy duck who is not a duck here is, lol.

The art in this chapter is definitely more cutesy than the others as a whole. (If you didn't catch it, the name of the magazine means it's for 1st graders.) The pink bunny is pretty adorable
I did a clean up on the main image with the pyramid- at least the shapes were simple so it's not too fake

I know I posted this cleaned image before but I just re-cleaned it from my own scans. More editing than it looks. Anyway, worth it, because it's incredibly epic. #Zelda Link to the Past, Junichiro Saito, Shogaku Ichinensei Magazine, Sept. 1992

All I want for Christmas is…a painting of a mouse riding a lobster.
Christmas cards during the Victorian Era tended to be rather unusual, reflecting an offbeat sense of humor before Christmas iconography had solidified into what it is today.

There also happens to be an infamous SEA-territory sub that kinda only exists as “lost media” clips today.
Not helpful to anyone wanting to watch the series but an interesting curio into Singapore-region dub quality in 2005.

I had some time today to sit down and edit and clean more of Junichiro Saito's / 斎藤純一郎 Link to the Past #zelda art from the 1992 Shogaku Ichinensei short story chapters. I love this epic piece of Link fighting the Armos Knights.

‘Futz’ means “to fool around” or “to behave in a way that is not very serious.”
It is thought to have come from a modification of the Yiddish phrase ‘arumfartsn zikh,’ the literal translation of which is “to fart around.”
Excuse us.

I think this was the first ever video game magazine cover, hailing all the way back from the crack of dawn of gaming: December 1982. Very well done as it's an actual painting, and not computer-generated. Systems weren't sophisticated to do this kind of thing digitally yet!

In 2009, Coke faced a major challenge: People were waking up to the health risks of soda. To shift the narrative, it launched a campaign promoting the idea that weight was about calories in versus calories out…until the plan backfired catastrophically:
