On the cartoon road of........


Hello to any and every artist out there,
Now I know that with such a colorfully detailed opening greeting you would be thinking you are gonna need a bag of Skittie candies or maybe some other colorful given yummy to scarf down, while ingesting this one read of many forms of change. You bet, I am still on a Superman thread of ideas stirring around in my jolted knowledgeable noggin of mine after witnessing Man of Steel or for those who have yet to see it MOS. I got to thinking late this morning and even a little form last night sure without a doubt there are many varied takes of Kal-El, but even outside of comics is what I'm driving this time. Also to make the understanding of this journey complete I was at the same time thinking of a path or if you will a road to take this into and at first I was thinking of a dirt road, and then a crosswalk came to mind so I knew it was now a paved street crossing if you will of where my brewing tanks were heading. Then I came across this image 
,after I was typing into my web browser Orko for a search the character, and then I recalled that famous road the Beatles had a classic image of for their eleventh recorded album 
, known better as Abbey road in London. So after finding many different takes on Dear ol Abbey road in cartoon form and with it being more related to comics I was able to find this 
,which had me rolling on the floor especially with the Deadpool character's word balloon, which reads "What have you people done with John Lennon and the other Beatles...?"  now I know you all think I'm talking about two subject here right?, Well it is true I am at that! No matter what I'm saying in all of the text. Let me say this about ALL cartoon take offs of the Last son of Krypton, any and all forms have one bit of greatness besides yours truly loving them and that being would be rather if a whole another comicstrip  character as in say a animal like these two       

seen here of of a certain beagle named Snoopy who always took a fancy to being modeled like the Red Barron. Or that other great comic strip animal known as Garfield the Orange cat who would do anything for food wise in great peril, especailly though for a pan of lasagna in distress. And then you can't without a doubt forget those even smaller animals known as Ants 
 
or Mouses. Now I did happen to say two of in the way of Mouse did I not, well in answer to Mighty Mouse not having his iconic yellow set of spandex he to like Atom Ant came from cartooning ideas, but back to the Mouses related question I think either a fan of Micky Mouse's went and did this powerful smashing take on 

the Mouse of steel before, or after, his namesake company known as Disney bought  Superman's comic rival of Spider-Man's Marvel Comics in late summer of two thousand and nine. There is always hope for Scooby Doo to always be more like his above seen nephew Scrappy Doo of never being fearful or maybe more like Scrappy hero of Under Dog seen here

, although I think Scooby has had a few note I say few rather lightly, since we all know he's down fall is like Garfield's being food but also hunting ghosts don't set to well with him either.  Then without a doubt there is always the sailor known as Popeye that has tired to match muscles with the Kent boy since they were both toons in the late thirties to forties made by Max Fleiscther 
,productions. But of course we can't for whatever reason BIG or little like they are can't leave out those three apple height sized characters known as SMURFS from this list of who is much like Superman in cartoon form but I would caution you choose wisely between Hefty Smurf
 














or this more famous one 

with glasses to save damsel in trouble Lois Smurffeete if you will?  And Finally for some reason or other I can always see Santa Claus coming 

to the fortress of Solitude asking to be having super powers if he didn't have his little helpers known as Elves around to make his toys for little children can't you? AS to what all these other takes of the man of steel have that he does not is not a weakness because he has Kryptonite for that but a better wording would be flatus in the case of how they are different from one as perfect as Superman.
