Clutch Cargo...with his pals, Spinner and Paddlefoot...coming to DVD!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

For those of you who have never seen this cartoon, it featured flat and listless animation but the original and uniquetwist of real human mouths speaking the dialog...it's the source of Conan O'Brien's fake interviews with Clinton, Bush, Schwarzenegger, etc.

1. That thing gave me serious childhood creeps.

Does it come with the requiste chemical enhancements?

4. It was a very, very disturbing show. Even the voices were a little creepy.

This one's nostalgia. I have two VHS tapes that came out about 10 years ago, but Clutch & Friends mania failed to kick in.

It will be interesting to see if the DVD benefits from Conan plugs. He owes this 'toon a serious debt...I think it would be cool if he repaid it.

:toast:

2. Oh, thank you. Fond memories of major dissociation as a child.

I would watch this as a 6-7 year old every now and then. I would lose track of time, the world around me would seem unreal, and I hadn't taken anything other than a few cookies and milk.

Can't wait for the DVD. Close the circle.

I hope the DVD has a warning: "Do not drive or operate heavy equipment after viewing this DVD."

3. I remember that show.

That was a LONNNNNG time ago.

5. seriously creepy

I agree about that with the real mouths moving superimposed over the most limited of animation. Process called Syncro-Vox)

Can Scott McCloud:Space Angel (another Syncro-Vox cartoon only better drawn, by Alex Toth) be far behind with a dvd release? I remember really liking that one...



Somewhere I have an old Jack and Jill magazine with a three page Clutch Cargo comic in it...
