Another Saturday Shopping Trip 🛍

 

Last November I went to a toy exhibition, I went there again and got some new stuff.

Here's what I bought today.

I ALWAYS wanted to watch Huckleberry Hound and I finally got myself a DVD. Only 6 episodes but ey I'm all for it. 

Garfield in golf-wear.

Here's Eeyore, the most relatable and likeable character in Disney history. Here's him close to my Winnie and Christopher Robin frame for your pleasure. 

Got more porcelain dolls, like I said previously these are adorable and I'm extremely interested in these things.

Took a picture of Pinocchio, who is now clearly looking like a real boy with Jiminy Cricket. 

 

Newly added to the toy club is 2 Donald Ducks and Dodger, his toy design is really good.

I love Foghorn Leghorn so had to buy this, he's holding onto Henery Hawk which is great.  

I already have an Aladdin toy, but he only has a lamp, here THIS aladdin has a sword and more stylish arabian clothing.

Some more fun toys. That Bambi owl is the best.

Here's John Smith doing a breakdance.

Goofy has got himself a lady to hang out with, apparently it's Anita from One Hundred and One Dalmatians. She was falling all over the place, and didnt know where she could stand so she had to be placed close to someone. 

I bought a full bag of tiny figurines of random human beings. This stuff really interests me.

This was also in the bag.

Now for the books!

I was so glad I finally bought these, more to experience and explore from Goofy Donald and Mickey. These are some of the better books made in Disney's name.

I'm going to make a full post on Richard Scarry's artwork of his bunny in the future.

And finally, I got myself something Betty Boop related. 

I'm a fan of her cartoons so this was a great find.

The Early Years Of Comic Strips Surprised Me

 

The 1930s was the best decade for animation. 

The 1940s was the best decade for music.

The 1960s was the best decade for picture books.

And the 1900s-1910s were considered the best decade for comic strips.

I'm willing to talk about something that kinda influenced me. Yes. It's in the earlier days of publishing comic strips. 

The drawings were really amazing and had alot of potential. If I was growing up around this time period like the early 1910s, I would look at these pictures and buy myself comics all the time. They probably might've influenced early cartoonists.

What I really enjoy about these is that they have really fun character designs. 

Especially the animals. The dog's design in the picture is appealing.

This one is probably my favorite comic strips. The guy's stretched out legs, get me every time I look at it. 

Also coming from a Gen Z, the writing makes sense and adds the charm to the strip. It's certainly thousands of times better than this 

The fact that these comic strips were made a century ago feels insane.

Nowadays comic strips are like this. It's interesting but to me, it doesn't hold up the charm as back in the 20th century.

Garfield for example was more appealing and funny back in the 80s than nowadays. It's still funny now but the illustrations were kinda boring and redundant.

Back then when I was little, I didn't care and never grew up on something old and vintage. But when I grew up and my mind was trying to feel it all, I loved the vintage stuff. I loved animation in the 30s-50s and I loved the charm and comfort of classic hollywood actors/actresses.

BONUS 💥

I did some of my own comics. 

NEXT... 

It's time to go to the nostalgic routes of my first drawings and sketches of my main characters in the Artmania series.
