The last set of edits I wanted to do in the spirit of this year's Femslash February, a "sampler platter" of different crossover ships I like.

This set includes a ship for at least one girl from each of the 12 Mystery Teen shows (and multiple for a few of them), so there should be a nice variety here.

A quick Melody/Valerie edit so they don't get left out this February.

Finding that last clip made me think of my own fuzzy childhood memory of a scene from a TNSDM episode. All I could really remember about it was that it involved a painting and a ghost named Rudolph (I also misremembered it taking place in a dining room for some reason), and that it stood out to me as a child because that scene was the first time I had heard the name Rudolph used out of the reindeer.

Looking at all of the episode descriptions again I had a feeling it may have been from the Phyllis Diller episode, and lo and behold, it was indeed from "A Good Medium is Rare".

So have that clip.

Hanna-Barbera's JABBERJAW

ZANY MUSICAL COMEDY UNDER THE SEA

A WAYOUT BLUE SHARK WITH A BLUNT SNOUT WHO DIGS ROCK MUSIC

JABBER JUMBLES THE ACTION FOR FUN AND ADVENTURE

A Blue Shark who isn't ferocious or terrifying? That's Jabberjaw. A shark with the brain of a sardine and the courage of a guppy. But he's farout on drums, man. Wow! You should hear this fish man those sticks. There's no one like him in the seven seas. Well, all right! It's the year 2076. It's kind of different down here with the bubbles and seaweed. Folks live with the fish. Everybody's friendly, now. No one is uptight about eating each other or jazz like that. Things are cool. When you go to the zoo, you see sharks and whales swimming in cages. They take peanuts right out of your hand. You go elsewhere, like on dry land, if you want to see a monkey eating a banana or have a tiger hiss at you. So this heavy Blue Shark named Jabberjaw is the pet of these groovy teenagers. The kids have their own rock group called The Neptunes. These cats are beautiful! They have gigs everywhere. But audiences get more than music from them. They get mystery and adventure. With wacky Jabber wiping out the villains just by doing dumb things.

As the man says, it's a show that's sure to delight the whole family.

The New Shmoo advertisement/series description (image source)

This advertisement shows a slightly different, earlier version of the series. It looks like the show was just "The Shmoo" before adding "New" to it, and it seems like it was going to be focused on psychic phenomena, with perhaps a slight lean towards science fiction, before changing to the more overall supernatural feel of the final product.

Transcript of the series description under the cut:

THE SHMOO

What better way is there to explore the world of psychic phenomena than with the help of a supernatural critter like the Shmoo. What is the Shmoo? The Shmoo is anything you could ever want him to be and more. He is a shape-less white creature with comical whiskers who can make himself look like a seal, or an egg, or a telephone pole or any shape imaginable. This adorable, jibberish-talking creature helps a team of three kid reporters who travel the country investigating real life stories about telekinesis, time travel, reincarnation, astral projection and other physic phenomena. They always encounter weird characters and scary happenings, but with the aid of their loyal friend, the Shmoo, they always expose what is false and clear away the fog of superstition.

I looked a smidge bit into dubbed HB cartoons today (for a few shows anyway), mainly just to see if characters had different names in other languages or not. Some bits of trivia that stood out to me (thanks to the Dubbing Database for compiling sources for most of this info) under the cut:

. In Germany, Drak Pack (Die Monster-Gang) aired re-runs as recently as 2009

. In the Portuguese dub of Drak Pack (Família Drácula), Dr. Dred is named Dr. Terror and Toad is Sapão (which Google Translate says makes him Frog instead of Toad)

. In the Italian dub of Drak Pack (Il Trio Drak), the opening narrator is a woman (Carla Comaschi)

. Il Trio Drak had the same voice actor play Franky and Howler (Marco Bolognesi) like the English version did

. Il Trio Drak first aired in Italy on October 16th, 1981, a little over a year after its debut in the United States on September 6th, 1980

. In the Spanish dub of Drak Pack (El Grupo Increíble), Drak and Franky's names stay the same, but Howler is named Aullidos

. El Grupo Increíble has two different voice actors for Franky (Rubén Moya) and Howler/Aullidos (Jose María Iglesias), but does follow the English version in having the same voice actor (Arturo Mercado) play both Toad (named Sapo in the dub) and Fly (named Mosca in the dub)

. In the Italian dub of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids (Butch Cassidy), Elvis and Wally are played by the same voice actor (Massimo Giuliani)

. Butch Cassidy first aired in Italy on November 4th, 1979, a few years after its debut in the United States on September 8th, 1973

. In the Italian dub of Goober and the Ghost Chasers (Goober e i cacciatori di fantasmi), Goober and Chris Partridge are played by the same voice actor (Franco Latini), as are Gillie and Danny Partridge (Marco Joannucci)

. In the Spanish dub of Speed Buggy (El Superveloz Buggy Buggy), all four main characters got new names: Buggy Veloz for Speed Buggy, Tuerquitas for Tinker, Marco for Mark, and Silvia for Debbie (bonus trivia, she shares her name with her dub voice actress, Silvia Garcel)

. In El Superveloz Buggy Buggy, Tinker/Tuerquitas exclaims things related to cars when excited/shocked/etc., like "¡Mofles!" ("Mufflers!")

. Like with the English versions of Speed Buggy and Laff-a-Lympics, Tinker/Tuerquitas has different voice actors between those shows, Salvador Nájar in El Superveloz Buggy Buggy and Jesús Brock in Las Olimpiadas De La Risa

. Tinker also had different names between El Superveloz Buggy Buggy and Las Olimpiadas De La Risa, being Tuerquitas in El Superveloz Buggy Buggy and Pelirrojo in Las Olimpiadas De La Risa

. The Italian dub of Speed Buggy (no title change) first aired in Italy on February 6th, 1980, a few years after its debut in the United States on September 8th, 1973

. In the Brazilian dub of Speed Buggy (Chispinha), the boys got new names: Chispinha for Speed Buggy, Tito for Tinker, and Mauro for Mark

. Much like how Speedy Buggy aired on multiple networks in the United States, Chispinha aired on multiple networks in Brazil

. Chispinha first aired in Brazil in 1974, a year after its debut in the United States

I fell in love with the girls at the rock show.

A set of Cindy Mae/Merilee/Stephanie edits very loosely inspired by the song "The Rock Show" by Blink-182.

Strawna and her pet cat (that I haven't come up with a name for yet). She isn't able to bring her cat with her to Gravedale, but she does have one.

I included a second version of the picture with the cat in a little hat and sweater, since Strawna makes clothes for it to wear whenever it gets cold.

Reference image I used for the pose under the cut:

A Laurie/Tina edit based on lyrics from "Eight Days A Week".

The Partridges appear in eight episodes, so I thought it would be fun to make an edit using images from each one.

Since I've been thinking about shipping more than usual this month it's got me thinking about my fankids/next gen OCs (slightly) more than usual as well.

Some of y'all may remember when I posted my initial fankid list back in mid-2023, so for those who are curious how that's changed in the past year and a half (or are just curious to see how my shipping preferences have changed in that time), I'm updating it here under the cut.

To start, the characters who have remained the same:

. Antonia (Mickey/Nita)

. Winona (Debbie/Velma)

. Rocket and Moon (Shaggy/Tinker)

. Molly, Elizabeth, Barbara, Andrew (Melody/Stanley)

. Brendan, Nora, Roger, June, and Jane (Gillie/Ted/Tina)

And the changes that have been made since then:

. My Alex Super/Daphne fankid has been renamed Diana

. A new fankid, Beau Rose (Cindy Mae/Merilee/Stephanie) has been added

. The Butch/Wally kids have been replaced by Butch/Henry and Wally/Woody kids - Charity (Butch/Henry) and Greg and Wendy (Wally/Woody)

. This last change isn't technically fankid related but since I mentioned in that initial post I'll say it now, the Mark/Fred ship is no longer a thing in my fankid headcanons (apologies to the Mark fans out there, I don't mean to leave him out on purpose)

[ghostchasersmagazine]

Been browsing through Buford Files episodes to find this shot again (it was from "The Demon of Ur"), since its the only scene I can recall off the top of my head that gives a clue about what Woody and Cindy Mae's family does.

Based on what I understand from a quick search, a "swamp landing" is the entrance to a swamp and can be used a base for recreational activities, for both locals and tourists.

Combining that with that fact the swamp boat Woody and Cindy Mae are using in this scene is stated to be their personal craft, I think it's reasonable to guess that the Boggs family works in the tourism industry. I lean a bit towards the family focusing on giving out swamp tours specifically, given how familiar the two of them are with the area.

Femslash February 2025 - Mermaid AU (from @femslashfeb's prompt list)

Merilee/Stephanie (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids)

Make sure to support your local lyre player.

[ghostchasersmagazine]

Icon change for the month since it's officially Femslash season.

Like with the past couple of years I'm going to try to do at least a couple pieces for Femslash Feb this month. I have pretty solid ideas for two of the prompts and rough ideas for three of others, so I'm going to make getting those done my goal for the month. As always we'll see though.

Came across a French animation fan site today, and it had a few posts about Hanna-Barbera cartoons. The two I'm going to share here show a couple of French Hanna-Barbera comic strips, since I think it's neat to see what kind of media got made for those shows outside of the U.S..

This one is a Jabberjaw (called Mantalo in French) comic strip, and this one is a Buford Files (called Bajou in French) comic strip.

Note that the posts may look blank (or at least they do on my computer), but if you click where the images are supposed to be they do show up.
