I work at a second hand store that donates it's profits to a village in Laporte, IN. That helps developmentally disabled adults (sharefoundation.org). Any idea how much it might be worth? We try to be as fair as possible so we can get as much moolah to the organization as we can. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I personally would've loved to color in that one of the fox splayed over the bush after the crash! The character already looked like he came out of Song of the South the way some of the characters appear in this, mixed with the 1970's southern trucking scene.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579432117594526969.post-8064272524460369342014-09-16T20:51:15.960-04:002014-09-16T20:51:15.960-04:00I had this book around 1978!

In the US, the show debuted on The Disney Channel, which unless I didn't say so before, had been a premium channel your parents had to pay extra for back then on top of already paying for cable TV (it was in that tier with familiar channels like Showtime and HBO), though because I lived pretty close to Canada anyway, I could watched it for free courtesy of their public broadcaster CBC as well (it was offered on cable too).Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579432117594526969.post-51850320851970207472014-05-12T21:24:39.551-04:002014-05-12T21:24:39.551-04:00I'm not familiar with the cartoon, but the mod...I'm not familiar with the cartoon, but the model sheets look great.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579432117594526969.post-41217932651834674732014-04-29T23:33:04.274-04:002014-04-29T23:33:04.274-04:00Beautiful sheets!

My older brother has the first book and my sister the later one, my copy was the 1991 book. I do have other yearbooks but they're in storage at the moment. Funny story though that book I said was mine (with the grey cover) was stuck with my sister's things she had over here. She was moving things to her other house and it was stuck with her school things. I never complained over why it was in her possession for two decades but recall how often we borrowed each other's yearbooks simply because we wanted to know what person went to where back then. I recall my sis doing that a lot.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579432117594526969.post-65349692763705507342014-02-09T16:41:22.260-05:002014-02-09T16:41:22.260-05:00Ah, Chris - it's almost as if I was at that sc...Ah, Chris - it's almost as if I was at that school with you.

I found a Magilla Gorilla one at an estate sale last year too that appeared to be unused.<br /><br />It's was still quite hard to part with this though I had no intentions on coloring it anyway, I just sorta like the kitsch with the CB radios and truckers and all. It was so of-the-period.

I otherwise find an interest in the most sardonic view of things in how I chose to view school life in this piece. Of course I'm also cribbing the usual manga tropes here and there and try adding in things you wouldn't expect to see like that little climber doing up the panel on one page. I think there was an effort in trying to put as much detail while remaining simple in the layout, though most of the backgrounds seen here I got out of memory of the one or two schools I've been in, so it made it easier putting these ideas into a story ("write what you know" they would say).Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579432117594526969.post-8353603572403363092013-06-08T23:03:57.380-04:002013-06-08T23:03:57.380-04:00At the time I think I was a little inspired by the...At the time I think I was a little inspired by the usual trips in the romantic comedy type pieces like in Video Girl Ai, Urusei Yatsura and the like, and wanted to try my hand at it, but couldn't quite draw in the chick as I was ashamed to admit I'm not very good at doing so! It's just one of those things.
