Re: Your Favorite Sci-Fi Cartoon - Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century

*Maybe a change of pace would be a good thing...television, comic book, whatever: 

My all-time favorite:

Cindy: Yes, but he was too much like fantasy to me. I went for so-called hard science fiction, where you were left with the impression that something new had been disclosed. I'm presently attempting to write same, and finding it hard--interesting possible alternative meaning for the word--no? From the author's standpoint, I mean....

Re: Your Favorite Sci-Fi Cartoon - Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century

*It took some digging on the web, but I finally located a good web site which lists the Filmation Star Trek cartoons from the early 1970s.  I have a couple of these on video.  I loved watching them as a kid...so much so that I had my parents rearrange my Saturday a.m. piano lessons so I wouldn't miss an episode (back then, we only had cartoons from 7:00 a.m. until noon on Saturdays).  "The Counter-Clock Incident" was my favorite of them all.  Quality story lines, good artwork, and the original Star Trek television cast members supplied the voices:

*Okay.  But you didn't mention your favorite cartoon (if you have one).

Re: Your Favorite Sci-Fi Cartoon - Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century

Cindy: Alley Oop, who travelled in time, was my favourite back then. Betty, funny with a message, is my favourite now. Both wonderfully but loosely drawn. Don't like hooror, and can't abide even a hint of torture (makes me want to go out and kill the instigator to death!).

*I'll add this here (after quoting myself above):  This evening I was browsing in a multimedia store with my husband.  I found a book entitled _A Princess of Mars_ by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  That book's main character was John Carter, also of the cartoon/pulp series fame.  However, the info at the link I'd provided previously says the reading public was first introduced to John Carter in the pulp series "All-Story."  Hmmmmm.  Which came first, the pulp series or the book?

Re: Your Favorite Sci-Fi Cartoon - Duck Dodgers in the 24th and 1/2 Century

Cindy: I've been reading about the space shuttle "Buran" historically, on the internet. It reads just like the science fiction stories about space ships, etc. from the 1940's or so. They really had a potential winner in that system. Give it a read, and then we can go into the pros and cons, if you're interested. Not much I like in science fiction these days. Having to write it for myself, it seems. Gotta go now, because the library's closing....
