Seems the YouTube DMCA police have chained your video to the wall.

OMG I forgot about the "Dick Tracy" tv show. What a stinker that was!

My two daughters survived the blizzard in Boston (first time they EVER saw that much snow having lived in Florida all their lives). Guess you're used to the weather AprilSeven. Last blizzard I was in was back in '77-78 living in Marlboro Mass. I was hoping for clear skies tonight, but it looks like ...

It's interesting to note that in the original manga, Cobalt is not included in the story. I can't imagine why he was left out - unless this manga (in Dark Horse Vol. 10) was created BEFORE he "existed"? Actually the Manga story was dated from 1965 according to Dark Horse (though that might not have...

Maybe one of these days Google will do a doodle to honor Dr. Tezuka.
Maybe we should start an e-petition toward that end. Let's see his birthday is November 3. (Wow that's three days before mine!)

Now that character wouldn't have been Don Dracula? I think Tezuka created him a bit later though.....

I think this might be the only episode from the '60's with Skunk. Either that, or he was drawn so differently that I never recognized him. He was used more often in the 1980 series. Guess Dr. Fooler reneged on his promise from the Mad Machine.

This explains the story that I heard that many of the episodes only seen in Japan were lost. I suspect that Mushi had a 'fire' or something. Anyway when they restored them for the Japanese market they must have used the NBC dubbed versions to fill in what was missing in some of the Japanese ones. On...

Jeffbert/Astrobuddy, if Atom was 4'6" I wonder how tall Cobalt is supposed to be? I've seen various references to Atom's height/weight. In Atom Cat there is a scene where Dr. Tenma is measuring him and states he's 120 cm tall, (just under 4 feet). Also there is a scene in either the Manga or one of...
