Zak Wolf (a.k.a. Sam Valentino)

Here's how ABC would often edit "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" during the 2010s to make room for showing "Scared Shrekless" or the more popular "Toy Story of Terror" uncut. Some airings included Linus's "Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker" bit, but not always.

Happy 60th anniversary to "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" One of my favorite Peanuts TV specials, one I have on Blu-ray, DVD, and even on vinyl record! (Before home video, you could often re-enjoy a movie or TV special as a "storyteller" album, and it'd be almost as good!)

"We'll always have Paris." - Rick Blaine, Casablanca (1942) RIP ERIC BAUZA #bugsbunny #looneytunes #rabbit #cartoon #toon #art #digitalart #fanart #cartoonart #illustration #painting #cinema

People often think of long-running adult animated shows like "The Simpsons" and "South Park" only having a handful of main voice actors, or Mel Blanc voicing the male Looney Tunes, but "Rocko's Modern Life" had these five very talented cast members doing nearly all the voices in the show!

Here is my tribute image to Eric Bauza. Sorry about the lens flare, but I guess it could add to the drama... #RIPEricBauza

Now for a break from sad news; with "Treehouse of Horror XXXVII" premiering last night, I finally got this updated and uploaded just in time for Halloween! *KRAK-A-THOOM!* youtu.be/JTC-E0hr3FU

Oh no, no, NO!!! What's this about Eric Bauza passing away?!

So what do these Dr. Seuss specials have to do with Christmas? #MeTVToons

If "Corn on the Cop" (1965) had a higher animation budget...

And here's another installment in a series of "Things now both under the same ownership thanks to Skydance." The way "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" showed off then-current technologies was a lot like how "The Fairly OddParents" did in the early seasons. ("...Internet?")

I am sorry to say that due to my financial situation, I will not be attending Furpocalypse this year. Things are pretty dreary for me right now, especially with the Skydance merger not helping... hope to see you guys at Anthro New England!

Hmmm, this sounds like another case for the private toon detective Sam Valentino to look into!

Another reason I am so strongly opposed to this merger. For a long time, Paramount-Skydance/Viacom were known for being real copyright maximalists, even on content they aren't currently utilizing. (i.e. the 2007 YouTube lawsuit) I hope my YTPs will be safe! 😨

Here's another installment in a series of "Things now both under the same ownership thanks to Skydance." The 1994 Hanna-Barbera TV movie "Arabian Nights" has its "Sinbad" story utilize a running gag that gets tiresome after a while, similar to how "The Fairly OddParents" later would.

What happens when there's a storm in the middle of the night and there's suddenly a very CLOSE, LOUD THUNDER CRASH; it sucks all the sleepiness from you and causes instant insomnia!

And now both are under the same ownership no thanks to the Skydance merger! Talk about cruel irony...

When you download low-quality 8-bit .WAV files off the Internet and use them in an actual television production.

Another installment in a series of "Things now both under the same ownership thanks to Skydance." The "Fairly OddParents" episode "Knighty Knight" has a version of Merlin the wizard who's seemingly fraudulent and has a kid sidekick (young King Artie!), like a certain Looney Tunes rodent pair...

The traffic lights when I leave one of the entrances for my college campus, I always miss the green light, seeing it turn yellow and then red as I drive up to the intersection. As Wile E. Coyote would say about it...

Unlike the cork Basil's pulling, the razor gets stuck for only a split second, but it hurts a LOT, even more so than actually getting cut!

The second installment in a series of "Things now both under the same ownership thanks to Skydance." To be fair, it was stated "Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island" isn't a COMPLETE ripoff of SpongeBob SquarePants, as it also borrows a lot from "Gilligan's Island."

The Larry Doyle/Sherry Gunther Looney Tunes make their Cartoon Network debut, after the network REFUSED to show them for 22 years. I'm also reminded of how Cartoon Network didn't rerun the very simlar Chris Savino seasons of "Dexter's Laboratory" that often.

Of course I'm going to include this in my revised "Castle Thunder in Modern Cartoons" compilation when I upload it next week (waiting until after "Treehouse of Horror XXXVII" premieres to see if that uses the ancient thunder sound effectss as well).

Ever since I upgraded to MacOS '27, I noticed Preview has an annoying new feature where if I screenshot an image and try to save it to a folder I want with my own filename, Preview will automatically save it to the iCloud with its own AI-generated name!

The first installment in a series of "Things now both under the same ownership thanks to Skydance." These overseas animation errors the domestic crew thought were hilarious and decided to keep them in rather than ask for a retake.

Not just me who needs some emergency funds, but my good friend here, too.

Shortest was probably December 2009 to January 2010 when I worked at an AJWright store. I was laid off when the store went out of business.

Just a quick vertical video to show off my "Wolfman Zak" getup I plan to wear to this year's Furpocalypse with its' Rock & Roll Nightmare theme. Of course, I lip-sync to the Wolf Pack 5 animatronic showtape. #FursuitFriday

With the big Skydance Cartoon Network data leak comes a vlog from the foxy private toon detective Sam Valentino! #Foxtober #FursuitFriday youtu.be/auRqcz6MMP0

Reminding you guys that my car insurance bill is due on Tuesday, and if I can reach up to the halfway point of my goal (50%) before that, that would definitely be enough to keep me afloat afterward! So please show me some generosity and tip me. ko-fi.com/zak_wolf/goa...

Me when I drop some kind of small object and I can't find where it landed...

First we get a throwback to the iMac G3 with the Apple Silicon iMacs coming in a variety of colors, and now what looks like a throwback to the iMac G4 with Apple's new HomeView!

When you know the blade in your shaving razor needs to be replaced...

Generative AI is getting scarily good, but it still does better at generating/animating rubber masks than it does with realistic people or animals, due to the whole "Uncanny Valley" thing. Even on-screen unmaskings, like this spoof I did, if "Fowl Weather" were a "Mission: Impossible"-esque caper...

The "Fangface" episode with the werewolf transformation potion, it's no surprise when Puggsy accidentally ingests some, he transforms and acts very much like Fangs does as Fangface! Of course, they were the two "comic relief" members of the gang... #MeTVToons

Hmm, a very useful clue... #Foxtober

Even if I'm making a somewhat decent sum of money on eBay, it's still not going to be enough for me to help pay my car insurance bill due one week from today, so please tip me/donate a bit if you can! Thank you. ko-fi.com/zak_wolf/goa...

Warner Bros. Animation next year now that Skydance bought them out...

This is a dance off. If you see this, post a dance!

Any amount would still be appreciated when you can! 🙏

On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, people who complain about "Sesame Street" being too "woke" nowadays don't realize they've been doing such things as far back as the 1970s! I love how this debunks the old "Tonto Talk" stereotypes, even if they use the term "Indian."
