Blast from the Past: Seen on Channel 15! (1998)

Once upon a time Those Funky Idiots aired on public access in Muncie, Indiana and the mayor hated us. We never tried to win him over, but I did make a flyer for the show featuring early cartoon versions of the cast. I don't remember if I ever handed any of the fliers out to anybody, but one copy did hang on the wall at Bob's Comic Castle for awhile. Thanks again, Bob!
The featured cast include (From top to bottom) Birnie, The Rummage Sale Lady, Vinnie Tuscany, Poppy Sinclair, Arlo Wazzo (Holding an urn containing the cremated remains of Nana Wingate), and Amanda Wazzo.

Vinnie Tuscany 2014

  Vinnie has had a mohawk since 2013. I gave him one to change things up a bit. It makes his head resemble a snow cone.

Blast from the Past: Pulp Fixation (1996?)

  Back in the day when Those Funky Idiots was a public access show in Muncie, Indiana, I always submitted the master tape for our latest episode in a plastic VCR tape container. Occassionally I would make "poster art" for an episode and slip the drawing into the container's plastic sleeve. This particular drawing was for the second part of our Pulp Fiction homage two parter which we called "Pulp Fixation". Instead of Mia Wallace, that's Nia Wally (Played by the former Meisa Beatty. Now she's Meisa Cope) in the drawing. I won't go into the whole plot, but at one point Vinnie Tuscany (Tim Richardson) bumps into Nia Wally and they enter a dancing contest which leads into a parody of the famous Twist dance scene from the movie. Instead of Jack Rabbit Slims, we filmed our dance in the middle of Gibson's Skating Rink. It turned out great!
