Continuing with the promotional package for The Comic Strip
syndicated series that features TigerSharks ( the Thundercat clones in
water) and bunch of comedies, Street Frogs (don't ask), Karate Kat (my
favorite) and Mini-Monster (do I have to tell you the premise). Here's
the cover and some TigerSharks art to start. I didn't design any of
these characters. Designs were done by Bob Camp and Pepe Moreno. My main role was to call animation re-takes (animation mistakes in the rough cuts) in the post-production process.
Street Frog was Rankin/Bass attempt at urban themed (black) show. Hip-Hop music was just starting off and I think R/B was going for a Beatles or Monkees type animation show. But, problems with the the original Hip Hop musicians caused the show to fall short of the mark, and it never quite found a audience.
Next week, Karate Kat.
