A looney blast from the past....

[Matthew Hunter]

I just got my printer/scanner up and running again. Thought this might interest you all! My mom found these in a long-forgotten drawer when we redid the kitchen this summer. It's a set of stickers with a "create a scene" setting on the back. They came from a Looney Tunes TV dinner from Tyson. Copyright reads 1990.What's interesting about them is that they don't use the designs that would become standard clipart for the characters only a couple years later. :bugs2: :sylvester :speedy: :coyote:

The seeds of Space Jam go further back than I thought...

What's interesting about them is that they don't use the designs that would become standard clipart for the characters only a couple years later.That's true, but it's still better art than what tended to be used on licensed products up until about 1988—namely the later Western Publishing comic book models, a sort of late Freleng/McKimson style combination.
Ironically, versions of those Western models are beginning to reappear now on the latest DVD packages...

Ironically, versions of those Western models are beginning to reappear now on the latest DVD packages...To me, they make the post 1990 stock designs look good by comparison.
