PEANUTS





As I watch the NEW 1960's PEANUTS DVD set....I think back to when my brother Chris and I were PEANUTS. These pictures were taken around the time that YOU'RE IN LOVE, CHARLIE BHROWN aired for the first time. I remember a few different PEANUTS shirts my brother and I had back then and my grandfather had a PEANUTS serving tray at his house.



FLANKIN!

Here is another piece of MMP art from Chris Mason sent to me by my pal Bob Dube! ALLEN SWIFT does the FELIX FLANKIN voice in the SPARKHILL documentary MAD MONSTER PARTY? MAKING OF A CULT CLASSIC

Who was that masked man?

I took this picture many years ago....just weeks before they told CLAYTON MOORE: THE LONE RANGER he could not wear his mask at appearances anymore. This is when lawyers and rights owners started messing with things they should not mess with! There is and always will be one LONE RANGER. This appearance was at LINCOLN MALL in MATTESON, IL.

SUMMER IN THE CITY


If anyone decides to do a decent book on MR. MAGOO, they would definitely want to use the art of my friend PATRICK OWSLEY! PATRICK did the style guide for the owners of the UPA catalog.

SUPER ART!

Once they are gone...they are gone and then I am sure the price will go up as it did on the FIRST EDITION of THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS : A PORTFOLIO.

NEW RANKIN/BASS RUDOLPH toys for 2009!


With the way this recession/depression has been going, it is also important to get your PRE-ORDERS in on the new RANKIN/BASS RUDOLPH toys for 2009! Many of these toys are made specifically for TIME & SPACE and if you are building a collection, you won't want to miss out on the more popular figures. www.timeandspacetoys.com

SAN DIEGO COMICON INTERNATIONAL WEEK

E-mail me at Rickgoldsc@aol.com with your requests this week! While I rest my broken right wrist, I have someone posting and typing for me :)

RANKIN/BASS TOYS!!!

PRE-ORDER at www.timeandspacetoys.com It is important that if you are interested in these, you get your order in early... so that you don't miss out! In the past, the manufacturer had no idea what the demand would be and certain figures were not produced in the quantity to meet the demand.
The long awaited nativity scene! I proposed one to ENESCO around 2001 BUT it never happened.
