I still have the DVD of the RARE RANKIN/BASS cel animated episode of the SATURDAY SUPERSTAR MOVIE with commercials. RHODA MANN, one of the voice actresses that appears in the special, lent it to me to transfer. RHODA was also the first HOWDY DOODY puppeteer on the HOWDY DOODY SHOW! It is $15 shipped and you can PAYPAL Rickgoldsc@aol.com 
I found this clipping today and boy does it bring back some good memories. Shortly after I received my degree in the arts in Illustration from COLUMBIA COLLEGE CHICAGO, I began teaching Art at ST. RENE SCHOOL and ST. BRUNO SCHOOL. I taught Kindergarten through Eigth grade for several years and it was very rewarding. I have great admiration for teachers...it took alot out of me. This clipping was about an art contest that I actually was able to get some of the students work published in a NOW COMIC BOOK. My pal Patrick Owsley worked for NOW COMICS at the time and I had a meeting with the publisher. I understand that Principal Val Bellucci, seen in the picture with me, has since passed away. He was very kind in bringing me into the school and treated me well. One of my friends, Dennis Bleck, actually shot a documentary about me teaching at the schools. Dennis attended COLUMBIA COLLEGE as well and used the documentary for his final project. 
This was alot of fun! We played at the WORLD MUSIC THEATRE in Tinley Park, IL around 1995. THE STARVING ARTISTS actually opened up a D.A.R.E. FEST that was organized by the TINLEY PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT. JOE 'ELVIS' DIAMOND did not have a back up band and we took the assignment. I knew the Elvis songs well and this was hilarious. That is my sister Lindsey at the left side of the stage with the tambourine. It is hard to believe she was that small then! I remember playing SUSPICOUS MINDS too slow for Joe and he stopped us during the song... It looked like it was part of the act BUT it wasn't. Funny stuff! My pals Alex Ross and Mitch O' Connell were there in the front row enjoying this one! I actually made the sign at the front of the stage by hand with some of Mitch's art.
http://www.markscartoonart.blogspot.com/ My friend MARK knows how to do HANNA-BARBERA DVD box art AND WARNER BROS sure doesn't! Can you believe WB HOME VIDEO passed on this box art? I wonder what they were drinking?
A GREAT illustration by MARK! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his SID SIRLOIN book!
UNIVERSAL improved on the first releases of the series with THE MUNSTERS: THE COMPLETE SERIES and you can get it at TARGET for $50. It has a GREAT colorized version of FAMILY PORTRAIT and it now includes the two MUNSTERS movies. The feature film MUNSTER, GO HOME is newly remastered and looks AMAZING. I personally like that they put the series on seperate one-sided discs now and bettered the quality of the entire set. Kevin Burn's material is on it's own disc, as are the movies. This is the way the series should have been released in the first place.
JACK DAVIS helping me out with an illustration for one of my books!
My pals HANK HARRISON and JACK DAVIS . I talked to JACK today and he is getting over an illness he has had for several months. He is going to try to do another illustration for me soon.
