Remember when they used to actually show Cartoons on Saturday morning? And kids would wake up at ungodly hours to watch Ultraman.
So... I'm getting old. I keep noticing that when I make references to 80's movies or shows around people at my school or work they give me a blank look signifying a complete lack of comprehension. People nowadays just don't know who the Dino Riders are anymore, and for some reason I find that sad. (I actually had this conversation with a girl at my work, and we figured out that Dino Riders must have been one the air when she was 1 or 2). I drew this one to commemorate some of my favorite cartoon characters from when I was a kid. From Left to Right they are: Slimer, Launchpad, Eek the Cat, Michelangelo, The Tick, Rocko, Wile E Coyote, and Destro.
It's got some composition issues, but I was just having too much fun drawing Destro shooting at The Tick to care. (and I orginally had Eek's eyes a shade of pink... but I changed it for some inexplicable reason).

I'm not familiar with Destro, but I have the same problem with the rest. I remember those... thought the Tick was a little later, though? Early 90's? I dunno, I'm old too, I can't remember these things reliably.

Yeah. I think that Eek was probably the early 90s as well. I've also reached that age where the late 80s and early 90s sort of blended together.

Yeeeah, I have trouble differentiating that sometimes, too. The stuff from my really early childhood I know was 80's, because I was born in '78 but the later stuff runs together.
