Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’ve only ever used post-it notes for drawing, so I always preferred the 3x5” - never got around to using these, which I’m happy for now.

A constant reminder of what they used to be

I recognise Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo… …but what’s that last one?

Time Squad. I was shocked that my mind could dredge it up after all these years.

It’s like Mr. Peabody and Sherman except instead of going back in time to educate the kid they’re time cops going back to correct history and the kid is the one who knows how it should go down. Think something like going back to colonial America and finding the founding fathers wanting to open a tea shop to have a tea party in, then coaxing them into the Boston Tea Party and kicking off the Revolutionary War.

Time Squad! It was a show they pushed pretty hard for awhile as it had some pretty big talent in it, but it never really took off.

So, same story as Class of 3000, but before it ever came out? Hope there wasn't a lawsuit, like in Co3k's case.

I have a book of postcards from their Adult Swim line-up from the early 2000s

Mm... That sounds mildly interesting ;)

If it wasn't packed away, I'd share a pic

I peeked at your profile hoping to see some of the drawings. Do you post them on a separate account? I'd love to see them

And depending on what you typically draw, i think incorporating the characters would be really cool! Hopefully you have a bunch so you can experiment. If nothing else you can photocopy it so you can practice on a facsimile

I do have some Inktober drawings from a few months ago, but I make a lot of posts so they got pushed waaay far back to the 15th page on my profile overview😅I'm pretty sure I've drawn most of these characters at least a couple times (minus the Time Squad, as I never really got into that show) but yes! They're all really fun to draw! Do you enjoy drawing too?
