36 DAYS OF TYPE - Archive - 2021 - P to R

For 2021, the theme I created for myself for 36 DAYS OF TYPE was plants (for the letters) and fungi (for the numbers). For the letters, the letter appears either as the first letter of the common name or the scientific name of the plant.

P is for the Pottsylvania Creeper, the iconic plant from ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE

R is the Rabbit's Foot Fern - a nice companion to the Bunny Ear Cactus.

Profiles in Villainy

Boris & Natasha

Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale are a pair of ruthless (often witless) spies working for the nefarious government of the sovereign nation of Pottsylvania.  Boris was raised by wolves in the Pottsylvanian forest and was a petty crook before he was recruited by secret intelligence.  Whereas Natasha was trained from birth by a group of scientists seeking to create the perfect secret agent.  

The pair were partnered and sent to America to endeavor on numerous schemes that aimed to disrupt western democracy.  These schemes were time and again thwarted by the actions of Bullwinkle the Moose and Rocky the Flying Squirrel.  Indeed, the constant meddling by Rocky and Bullwinkle became so great that Boris and Natasha were assigned the secondary objection of: ‘kill moose and squirrel.’  Fortunately, Rocky and Bullwinkle’s luck and guile coupled with Boris and Natasha’s bumbling incompetence has kept the two heroes one step ahead of these treacherous spies.  

Actor Paul Frees provided the voice for Boris, while actress June Foray voiced Natasha.  The pair first appeared in the premier episode of the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, airing on November 19th, 1959.

[borisgoodenov]

At home in Pottsylvania, born and raised Where the jailhouse is where I spent most of my days Cursing, swigging, japing, smoking all day Bartering for food so I don't have to pay When a couple of guys who were up to some good started fixing trouble in my neighborhood. I lost in one minor brawl and my mom got mad and said "You're grounded for twenty years for not being so rad." I went "Nah" and drove off, heading who knows where Driving off in the distance without saying "bye" or care I only had my motorcycle and that's grand I get to explore and see all the different lands I arrived in a place at the crack of dawn to a place that I admit had a beautiful lawn I looked at the whole yard and smiled with glee This place that I bought was just only for me!

[vintagerpg]

This is the Bullwinkle and Rocky Role-Playing Party Game (1988). Yes, this is a real RPG that exists. The cheerful orange box is packed with doo-dads — spinners for resolution, big fold-up character cards, novelty diplomas as rewards for winning (from Wossamotta U for heroes and the Ukranian Safe-Cracking Academy of Pottsylvania for villains) and plastic hand puppets for no reason at all.

Bullwinkle and Rocky has very little in common with other games produced by TSR. Or any other RPGs that were available at the time from any publisher, with one exception: the similarly themed Toon. Like that game, B&R is a light weight game about cartoon comedy (surprise: Warren Spector worked on both). The rules in the box are centered around getting laughs and little else. There are so few rules, in fact, that Lawrence Schick, in Heroic Worlds, wonders if it is even technically an RPG at all.

There are three variants of play in the box. The first is a storytelling game that uses keywords on cards played in turn to weave a narrative (beating Once Upon a Time to the punch by about five years). The second variant puts players in control of specific  characters from the cartoons with their own goals and special abilities — things are rigged for the villains, so the game really turns on the idea that failure is a good thing, a thoroughly 21st century design concept. This one also features a rotating GM role and, if you squint, feels a lot like the basic framework of games like Fiasco. The third variant plays like the second, but with custom characters, made using keywords, anticipating games like Over the Edge.  

Who’d a thunk — Bullwinkle and Rocky, decades ahead of its time. And with hand puppets! Easily one of the oddest things in my collection.

[Fearless Leader is on the roof of his fortress as he shows off his latest invention, the Pottsylvanian Tunnelizer and Town Terrorizer.]

Fearless Leader: Well, Natasha? Badenov?

[Fearless Leader jumps into the Tunnelizer.]

Fearless Leader: How do you like it?

Boris Badenov: Hmmm...

Natasha Fatale: Uh... we love it, darling.

Boris Badenov: Yeah, is best one we have seen.

Natasha Fatale: If we going to build one ourselves, we would making exactly like that.

Boris Badenov: Exactly.

Natasha Fatale: One question.

Fearless Leader: Yes?

Natasha Fatale and Boris Badenov: What is it?

[Fearless Leader repeatedly hits the wall of the Tunnelizer with his left hand.]

Fearless Leader: It's my new Pottsylvanian Tunnelizer and Town Terrorizer. See that ugly, empty space further away from my fortress?

[Fearless Leader points to the town of Frostbite Falls on the map.]

Natasha Fatale: It's not exactly empty, Fearless Leader.

Boris Badenov: That is town of Frostbite Falls right there.

Fearless Leader: In six hours, that town will be gone!

Natasha Fatale: Gone?

Fearless Leader: Vanished! Destroyed! Obliterated! I'm flooding it! I'm going to tunnel to the main Frostbite Falls reservoir, steal all its water, and build a new Lake Pottsylvania! [laughs evilly]

Boris Badenov: You need help?

Fearless Leader: No! I want you two to go and eliminate moose and squirrel! This is one time I'm going to do something drastic, and those goodie-goodies won't stop me!

Boris Badenov: But what will happen to all the people?

Fearless Leader: In a word, they'll all be sunk!

[Fearless Leader laughs evilly again, then pulls the lever, setting the Tunnelizer from LOW to HIGH, starting it up. As this happens, Natasha Fatale and Boris Badenov hold and look at each other worriedly]

Natasha Fatale and Boris Badenov: [both shriek]

[Fearless Leader's tunnelizer flies off the roof]

Fearless Leader: Yahoo! Heh-heh, yippie! Oh!

[Fearless Leader's tunnelizer drills into the ground, leaving a hole in it.]

The 10 Best Cartoon Bad Guys of All Time

10. Boris Badenov - The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show

Shaddup you mouth!Never in the history of cartoons has there been a character so happy to be evil than Boris Badenov. Along with his sidekick, the almost as evil (and somehow strangely sexy), Natasha Fatale, Boris did everything he could to make Moose & Squirrel's life a living hell. He obviously hated America & everything to do with it. But, he also hated his own country of Pottsylvania & did his best to avoid going there whenever possible. 9. Berg Katse - Gatchaman

The original sex change artistAlso known as Zoltar in "Battle of the Planets" & Galactor in "G-Force". Berg Katse is the leader of Galactor (that was the name of the organization in the original version), an evil alien race, determined to rule the Earth. What set Berg apart from the other alien bad guys, is he was a shape-shifting sex-changer. Yes, sometimes he was a man & sometimes he was a woman! The English versions explain this by saying it was two different people, Zoltar & his sister. Although, even as I kid, I figured out they were one & the same. Although I thought he was just a woman, dressed like a man. Little did I know what screwy heads the Japanese had with their characters. Considering Berg had to deal with the fact that sometimes he had a cock & sometimes not, I have to give him credit that he was able to do as well as he did running the whole show. 8. Cobra Commander - G.I. Joe

COBRA!Cobra Commander is leader of Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization, determined to rule the world! Kind of like Galactor, but Earthbound. And Cobra's ideas to take over the world were so crazy, that aliens from another world were like, "That's some crazy shit, Cobra!" He always hid his face, either behind a hood, with eye holes, or a helmet with a mirrored front. Somehow, this mirrored face didn't reflect anything. It was Cobra Commander's voice that was the star of the show though. It was raspy & lispy & when he spoke, you listened. Cobra Commander was such a great character, that he even appeared in another cartoon, "The Transformers", which obviously took place years after Cobra was disbanded, as he was pretty much alone. As far as we know, Cobra Commander is still out there, biding his time. Mwahaha! COBRA! 7. General Grievous - Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Kick ass cyborg!Appearing in the 2nd "season" of the animated Star Wars tale, that takes place between Episodes 2 & 3, Grievous stood out as one mean mother fucker. He killed almost all the Jedi, BY HIMSELF! He stood taller than the Jedis & had 4 arms, which meant, 4 fucking light sabers! He was so cool, that George Lucas said, "He's cooler than any character I ever came up with. Let's put him in the next movie!" Of course, Lucas turned him into a smaller Cyborg with an exposed heart, which was easily shot by a blaster. But, for a small shining moment, in the animated series, Grievous kicked so much alien ass, that Galactor was looking to hire him. 6. The Legion of Doom - Superfriends

It's almost like they know the camera is in the room!Yes, I know this is a team of Super-villains, but they moved as one. Actually, they pretty much never moved as one. But, that didn't matter either. The LoD had a much cooler HQ than the Superfriends ever had. Their HQ would rise up out of a swamp. And inside, it was just a table that fit all members of the LoD. Their leader was Lex Luthor, the mastermind. They also had Bizarro, Black Manta, Riddler, Giganta, Sinestro, Cheetah, Solomon Grundy, the Scarecrow, Brainiac, Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, & the Toyman. Alone, these bad guys kind of sucked, but together....Watch out!!! Actually, they kind of sucked together too. But the name, the name!!! Legion of DOOOOOOM!!! 5. Dishonest John - Beany & Cecil

NYA HA HA!You know why Dishonest John deserves to be on this list? Because his name was Dishonest John & he was still able to con people (and sea serpents). He had the word "dishonest" sitting there for all to see. But it didn't matter! Nya Ha Ha!! 4. Megatron - The Transformers

Hey Starscream! Wax my ass!If you could put evil into a robot & then boost up the evil to 11, that was Megatron. He could give two shits about human life. He was all about getting energy & didn't care who or what was in his way. He even treated his own soldiers like shit. He also transformed into the stupidest form, a gun, that only worked if someone shot it for him. It didn't matter. They were all scared of him, the good, the bad, didn't matter. Megatron was Megacool! 3. Bluto - Popeye cartoons

This big mumbling fool was all muscle. It seemed Bluto was only there for one reason, to cock-block Popeye into nailing Olive. And it worked too, because Popeye & Olive never did it. Bluto didn't need any spinach to kick the shit out of Popeye either. He could walk through walls, bend steel bars with his teeth, & toss Popeye a block away. He shaved with a razor so nicked, that a normal man would have bled to death using it on his face. And when he shaved, he had a full beard. The only questionable thing was why was he such a prick to Popeye? Bah, no matter! Bluto is one mean sumamabitch! 2. Joker - Batman: The Animated Series

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!The Clown Prince of Crime! Never mind the Calypso Joker from the 60s, or even the smeary faced dude from the new Batman movie, the Joker from Batman: TAS has them all beat. He is truly maniacal & crazy. Just see him interact with his one true "love" Harley Quinn. He could care less about her, or does he? His plans are diabolical & over-the-top! He's scary, funny, & evil to the core. 1. Venger - Dungeons & Dragons

The Force of Evil!Talk about evil. This guy wants to kill kids! His father is Dungeon Master, the creator of the Realm of Dungeons & Dragons. Does Venger care? Fuck no! Dungeon Master protects the kids. Does Venger care? Fuck no! The only thing Venger is scared of is a 3 headed dragon, that is about 90 feet tall. It's the only thing that scares him! And I bet even that never made Venger shit his pants. All the kids wanted to do was get back home, but Venger said, "No way little fucks!" and ruined their chances time & time again. Fucking with kids is evil to the core & that's all Venger did. He is truly the champ of cartoon bad guys.
