Gee Mr. Yogi, you sound just like my uncle Hair! We-e-ell. He should feel honored to sound like me!

Wanted to do something with one of my other Hanna-Barbera fan characters, so here's a little comic with Minnie, team captain Yogi, and a good ol' fashioned voice actor joke.

Note that she's referring to Hair Bear as her "uncle" here as a sign of affection, as biologically speaking she's actually Square Bear's niece.

Howdy! What’s your opinion on Skip x Augie? (or Skaugie lol)

Hiya Anon!

I have no real strong opinions on Skip and Augie as a ship. Like, I don't ship it, but I also have no reason to object to it either. It just doesn't capture my attention personally.

This might be because I don't have real strong opinions on Skip and Augie as characters either. I do like them well enough, but I don't think about them too often in terms like, headcanons and whatnot. I think the strongest opinion I have regarding them is that I do like Augie more than Skip.

So yeah, bit of an anticlimactic answer, but I think that Skip and Augie are fine as a ship in a neutral sort of sense.

Wally/Woody is another ship I've been wanting to make an edit for since I started editing a couple years ago, so I finally made one today.

So I've seen the screenshot of the Butch Cassidy episode The Counterfeiters of Butch sitting on the rocks, and WOW, that's incredibly dangerous, even for Butch. Those rocks could've easily made a rockslide [it's been a while since I've seen the episode, so I don't remember all the details]. Honestly, as much as I like Butch, with some of the things he does in the show, he's lucky he didn't get hurt or worse.

I'm assuming you're referring to this one?

I went back and watched the scene again, and this screenshot is actually from right after a rockslide.

Here's the previous scene for context:

In Butch's defense, he stops right after the rockslide happens and immediately calls Mr. Socrates for assistance. So between that and him actually staying put and not like, climbing up the rocks to continue chasing the bad guy on foot, this is one of the tamer situations he's gotten himself into.

But more generally speaking, yeah, Butch does get himself to dangerous situations pretty often (see: the motorcycle jump at the beginning of the clip).

This is probably his most defining trait as a character, both in how he's willing to do these things and his ability to do them without getting hurt. There are multiple discussions that could be had about the former aspect - why he's so willing to put himself in danger, if that should be considered a character flaw or not, etc. - but I do think it's interesting to consider the latter aspect too.

The out-of-universe answer for how Butch never gets hurt is a pretty clear one: he's the main character is a comedic children's show. It would be a strange tonal shift for it to suddenly go dramatic and have our hero get seriously injured.

But in-universe is harder to say. I do think you're on to something when you say luck is involved, as this seems like something that can't be explained as just being due to his spy training or whatever natural strength he posses.

The interpretation of this I tend to learn towards (and this isn't a super satisfying explanation admittedly) is that Butch is simply inexplicably good at everything he does, to a point where it's something the other characters have noticed as well and will even joke about.

There's a scene (also from "The Counterfeiters") that I think demonstrates this well. After Wally "disappears", Butch is able to instantly figure out exactly what happened to him and how, and Stephanie and Merilee seem to be surprised about how he was able to so fast. I posted it here if you want to see it in action.

Thinking about it in that regard, the reason Butch never gets hurt during any of his stunts is because he just instinctively knows how to avoid doing so; he's just inherently that good at everything he does. This obviously isn't a perfect answer, but I do think it's an amusing one in a "Well of course Butch can do that, he can do everything else" sense (and also the best one I have off the top of my head).

I was answering an ask and apparently you can only upload one video per post, so here's this scene from "The Counterfeiters" uploaded separately.

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KIDS

Why do you think aromanticism could save them?: “Butch shows absolutely no romantic interest in his "love interest" throughout the show, to the point where fans felt it was necessary to specifically bring it up on the show's TV Tropes page. There's also a gag during the show's theme song where he hides from his female fans and then flees in a panic when they find him.”

[ghostchasersmagazine]

Damn, why is there so little content on them??? I NEED MORE!!! Seriously, the main characters are so funny! It would be cool if they rebooted it into something similar to a mystical corporation, that would be interesting.

[ghostchasersmagazine]

Everybody give it up for more cleaned up sketches!! This time it's characters that I have simply been thinking about recently that are not the main gang, yes I did get distracted while cleaning up my Shaphne sketches, yes this is the result now I must return to the caves to finish them.

Here comes the Drak Pack! Featuring Frankie Howler and Drak Jr!

[ghostchasersmagazine]

Shoutout to this panel from the Laff-a-Lympics issue "Trouble at the Track Meet" where the spacing of the dialogue balloons makes it seem like Shaggy uses both he/him and they/them pronouns.

He/They Shaggy real in Laff-a-Lympics and is further proof why it is the best Scooby-related piece of media.

Thinking about the Drak Whack. That the Drak Pack have to have willing physical contact with each other to transform into their monster forms, arguably their true forms. That their monster forms are the main or even only way they can defend themselves from harm so they arguably need each other to survive. That, in turn, they trust each other so much that they're willing to put their lives quite literally into each others' hands. That despite how serious this is they treat it with such normality, usually with a high-five.

Thinking about all the symbolic and interpretation possibilities behind the Drak Pack's powers being accessed only through the trust and intimacy shared between each other.

[ghostchasersmagazine]

A detail about the Drak Whack I've been thinking about recently is that there seems to be a psychological element to it as well as physical. Like, the Drak Pack have to be actively thinking about/wanting to transform to be able to do so.

I don't think this is ever directly addressed in the show, but there are examples where I think it comes into play, like how in "International Graffiti" the three of them don't automatically transform after falling on top of each other other, or how in "Package Deal" Franky and Howler have to wait for Drak to wake up first before they can transform.

I don't have much else to say about it at the moment, I just think it's interesting to think about.
