Separated At Birth (Slight Return)

but the theme's still hard to resist.

A couple of more here:

Chuck Berry = Dishonest John (physically, vocally, and who knows what else)
Paris Hilton = Tweety (perhaps even more the Bob Clampett version)

Paris Hilton = Tweety (perhaps even more the Bob Clampett version)
Actually, Tweety's a guy. And he's smart.

[larriva9/11]

Who's fussing over gender? Then you might as well suggest that Popeye + Mammy Yokum don't qualify, either.

That is hilarious! It is great that she has a cigarette in her hand, too.

How about Goofy and Goopy Geer.

Thanx--the name slipped my mind...

As self-plagiarism/tribute goes, Clampett's Tweety + Clampett's Boo Birds...

Hubie and Bertie are great. Plus the cartoons they are in are really funny, such as Cheese Chasers. Chip and Dale, however, are simply "cute" and not really funny.

For me, they are nothing special. The only cartoon I like for some extent is House-hunting mice from them. Cheese Chasers in particular is a very dull, posing and predictable cartoon for my taste.

Porky & Gabby versus Casper and Hot Stuff

Actually, Spooky and Hot Stuff have more in common (the same mischievous
personality) ... plus their comics were drawn by the same artist (Howie Post).

Disney's first young female superstar

Disney's latest young female superstar

[EDIT --- You know the picture; go look it up yourself. --- Jon]

[Geezil]

[Edit: Not that it matters much anymore since the setup went away, but ...]

There's at least some resemblance if you look closely at the eyes. ;)

[larriva9/11]

And generally, a little misty lens can bring out the 1920s in anything...

[J. J. Hunsecker]

I'm not up on what's hip these days, so...uh, who is Disney's lastest young female superstar? And why is Disney posing such jailbait in provocative photos?

[Jon Cooke]

... and was it really necessary to post said photo on this forum? :shame:

Yeesh, how old was that kid anyway? (Sorry, I'm not too hip either, J.J.)

Props as due to J.J. and Jon for still being able to dodge blanket mass media blitzes with style (and I mean that entirely as a compliment!).

The unfortunate answers follow (unfortunately):

1) She's Miley "Hannah Montana" Cyrus (!).

2) Crucially, Disney did no such posing (Vanity Fair magazine commissioned it) and public record has it that the Mouse Factory is just as incensed with the published results as a whole lot of preteens' moms have no doubt become in more recent days.

Thanks Geezil!
I've been unable, try as I might, to entirely dodge the mass media blitzes. I've heard of Miley Cyrus (http://www.theonion.com/content/columnists/hanna_montanas_secret) (never heard her music though), and seen one photo of her from RADAR magazine. (http://www.radaronline.com/from-the-magazine/2008/04/power_brats_miley_cyrus_lourdes_ciccone_maddox_shi loh_jolie.php) She looks different in the photo from Vanity Fair than she does in the one from RADAR.

[larriva9/11]

Though, uh, "censoring" the Miley photo kinda deflated my Separated At Birth point (and sure, it wasn't quite toon related, except tangentially in Alice's case--but it could certainly be best understood in toon-fan terms), I'm glad that this thread hasn't (so far) been undermined by extraneous debates over pedophilia the way its predecessor was undermined by extraneous debates over the papacy. (And for the record, my own attitude t/w the Miley photo parallels my attitude t/w the Censored 11, i.e. I don't want to pretend there's nothing, er, "wrong", but let's not get too zealously proscriptive about it. Besides, at this point the pic's too much of a "media phenomenon", much as Janet Jackson's nipple shield was a few years ago.)

Getting back on topic of sorts, I've been pondering whether there's any Yosemite Sam/Danny Bonaduce parallels...

The T&J animators said that they used Lana Turner footage for reference on animating Tom's girlfriend (though the design was swiped from an earlier Rudy Ising cartoon The Alley Cat).

[larriva9/11]

Reggie Mantle + Charlie Sheen
Archie Andrews + Rick Astley (which might give Rickrolling a new dimension)

[PudgieDParrot]

I'm not sure if anyone already said this, but here goes (again!)

I'm sure these members of the early 30's WB pantheon have similarities to Disney characters born in the same era!

Damn, that's good.

There was another thread which noted the vocal resemblance of Wile E. to Kelsey Grammer--well, at least there are the obvious character (if not visual) parallels to Sideshow Bob...

[oceansoul]

Maybe OT, but

Chuck Jones and Steven Spielberg.

[larriva9/11]

No more off topic than Bob Clampett and Roy Orbison.

Personally, I see more of this

In either this thread or the last one or somewhere (or not), I may have offered Simmons Hall at MIT as a sibling to Screwy's nuthouse in Happy-Go-Nutty.

Seeing the Dover Boys for the first time in a spell, I just noticed now that Dan Backslide starts by saying what was to be a Dick Dastardly signature line, "drat and double drat". And I'm also reminded of how when I first saw the toon in '79, Dora Standpipe reminded me of Lene Lovich...

Suffice to say, I got this strange notion of Sarah Palin telling John McCain: "Hey, grandpa! I brought a little BUNNY RABBIT for ya! To HAVE!"

[frizfrelengfan]

Totally OT but I can't help it: Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.

In general, Porky in his nightgown + Britney Spears in commando

LeFou (Gaston´s sidekick in Disney´s Beauty and the Beast) and Cousin Eerie (from Warren´s horror comic magazines).

For those of you currently following Canadian politics, the Dover Boys have been trying to wrest power from Dan Backslide, all of this hinging upon the decisions made by Governor-General Dora Standpipe

Actually, to Paris Hilton's credit, I think she is SMARTER than Penelope Pitstop. That's saying something about Penelope Pitstop!

[Thad]

Hilton was at least in one thing I liked, 1 Night in Paris. Can't say the same for Pitstop.

I await the underground X-rated video of Paris Hilton with the Ant Hill Mob... :eek:

Casper, Henry (from the comics and the "Betty Boop and Henry" cartoon), and Harold from the children's book "Harold and the Purple Crayon."

Plus the title character at bottom in this first illustration, who dates back to the 1940s and looks quite a lot like Harold (note illo #2) for some obscure reason ... ;)
