Wanted to make myself an animated icon for my Deviantart account, so I spent the afternoon making these Maddie gifs.

My favorite is probably either the first one or the last one.

Been working on some OC design changes recently, so I traced a couple of Speed Buggy screenshots to give myself a visual reference for them.

Top image is of Duane and Missy traced from an image of Mark and Debbie. Missy's changes can't really be seen here due the piece being only chest up, but some of Duane's can be seen (the color swap of his turtleneck + vest and giving him an earring).

Bottom image is of Rocket traced from an image of Tinker. Really the only change he had was making him a strawberry blonde instead of a redhead, since that was always my intention for him. I also included a second version of the piece with the colors a bit desaturated to match the background better.

Original images I traced from under the cut:

Drak: Hi uncle! We're back from Pirate's Park. Big D: Ah yes, how was it? (later) Drak: And then as luck would have it, the seal came back to lead us to where Dr. Dred was. You recall the seal from before, the one we ran into after dealing with the whale? Tracking must have been part of his training, as he did seem very well trained. All of the animals were, of course. Anyway, the seal lead us to Dr. Dred-.

A little comic inspired by "The Perilous Plunder of Pirate's Park". Since Big D wasn't able to go to the park, Drak makes sure he gets to hear all of the details about it afterwards.

The newest members of my collection, Hong Kong Phooey and what the tag calls "Scooby Doo Baseball" (I've dubbed him "Pizza Hat Scooby").

These two were made in 1998 and were sold in the Warners Brothers store.

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.
