Tawky And Hoppy

By -


Tawky Tawny, Captain Marvel.  Furry before there was a name for it.


C. C. Beck, artist.  This is One Dapper Tiger!


Adam and Eve were only naked after they tasted the Forbidden Fruit.  


Ron Goulart said that he had no problems with Captain Marvel but a talking tiger was unrealistic!
All In Color For A Dime, 1969.


I am surprised he ever had any.


Of the three of them, only Tawky has a sense of style.


Metaphor, anyone?


A tiger has a lot of nerve saying something like this.  And ain't he from India?


Ahead of his time.


Since Captain M. is not retarded this must be a dream sequence.

Now this is just weird!  But hey! -
'Hoppy is a pink rabbit who lives in the town of Funny Animalville, along with an assortment of other funny animal characters. As revealed in the origin story from Fawcett's Funny Animals #1, Hoppy is a fan of Captain Marvel. One day, he decides to emulate his hero and speaks the magic word "Shazam!" Surprisingly, the magic word transforms Hoppy into Captain Marvel Bunny'. -  Wikipedia.  Oh, Hell, while I'm at it:


Captain Black Bunny, by Chad Grothkopf.  He is the lapin equivalent of Black Adam, a pesky ancient Egyptian with super powers and really cool eyes.  Black Bunny was referenced in this -


Blackjack O'Hare of Rocket Raccoon fame.  This is the Black Bunny Brigade.


 Here at Mister Scribbles we keep our eyes on the goal, which is the bringing of Anthro Rabbits to the world.  Mr. Tawny is a great Furry creation, but now it is time to return to our roots.


Shazam, indeed!


All these Hoppy drawings are by Chad Grothkopf, who drew the first animated cartoon created for broadcast television, no one saw it as very few people had sets.  (Willie The Worm, Flescher Studios, 1938.)  Huge talent, I just now heard of this guy.

Willie The Worm from Funny Animals.


  Sic Transit Gloria Mundi!


Oh...I forgot what I was doing.   Remember Tawky?  This post is about Tawky.  On that note I'll leave these two back in the shadows of forgotten comics.  Captain Marvel et al. died when C. C. Beck quit drawing him, comic heroes give way to other toys.
Best of luck to the both of you, wherever you are.

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

The Cockroach Union and Waterbugs Protective Association

      Hi Guys! I'm back with some more anthro bug weirdness courtesy of Peterman's Roach Food!   This stuff was designed to kill cockroaches and other insect vermin way back in the early 1900s !  It came in a bright red tin covered with microscopic pictures that tell a most distressing story !  Seems that the bugs are up in arms because something is killing them off !  They have formed a " protective association " and are marching in protest kind of like Coxey's Army !           But it's no good !  All that marching has worked up the bugs' appetites !  So they check in to chow down on some of that delicious " roach food ."  Too bad it's poison !  One by one, the roaches eat the tainted feast and they croak , right there on the package !     Man, that's tough !  But I guess if you've got cockroaches marching around in your kitchen , this is how you deal with them !   ...

Two Different Dragons

  I'm not sure if these dragons are considered "anthro" or "furry"(although they both have a little fur)-but they are both intelligent creatures!  Haku from Spirited Away- He is an eastern dragon with a wolf-like head and white fur/scales and green mane. He can transform into a human boy when he chooses-plus he is also a river spirit/guardian. He never speaks in his dragon form but he is a very intelligent creature. If you have not seen this classic Studio Ghibli movie, please do so! Falkor the luck dragon is from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story. In the original book illustrations, he had the look of a Eastern dragon with a lion's head. In the movie,he had the long body of an Eastern dragon but with a dog-like face. Either way,he is a positive creature who encourages the hero Atreyeu throughout the film. " Believe and good luck will find you"
