Bugs versus Homer
This is a cool pic... and check out who's in the audience!

Where did you find that picture?
A lot of the animated characters of the last 60 years are there. The team look like they are having fun. Well except for Ryu. He looks concerned about something.

Oh wow -there's a LOT of characters from TV shows that I recognize here -though also some I don't.
Very cool find!
Tiny's a kindly soul -he might be worried about Bugs or Homer getting hurt. Either that or he's got a bet riding on the outcome (probably against Jason) but isn't so sure now that his pick is going to win?

That is a great picture. I see a lot of character I recognize and more I don't possibly because they are on American TV rather than Canadian.

Other than G-Force, my favorite there in the audience is Batmite hanging onto Batman's ear. Too funny! I recognize *most* of the characters, but tere are a few I don't.
Dragonsbain, I just found it while surfing around the internet.

That's Pinky from Pinky and the Brain. I can see Mighty Mouse on the other side of the ring, between Batman's ears.
It's a parody of the cover art for a 'Superman vs Muhammed Ali' comic done back in the 1970s. (I don't know if I still have it.)

Looking at it again, there are also more recent comic characters. I see Pikachu, and Sponge Bob and the Rugrats are standing in front of the Gatch Team.

That's a great find. Jason's laughing his head off. Keyop looks like he's ready to jump in. I like how Space Ghost id chewing on his nails.

Google turned up the image -I see what you mean about Bugs vs Homer being a parody.
I'm not sure I can "spot the celebrities" with any certainty in this one though (besides Batman) -especially as it would have been the 1970s.
Posted by amethyst on 31-07-2011 at 02:06:
Some caricatures look familiar, but I couldn't name them. However, that might be Lex Luther next to Batman.
Is it sad that we recognize cartoons and comics more than real people?

Cartoon characters are more visually distinctive though, and they haven't aged any in appearance between now and the 1970s (don't really want to think about what a 51 year old Jason might look like...). I think I like the all-cartoon version better!
I did find *this* on wikipedia.
I think I can spot Donny & Marie Osmond, Lex Luthor, Alfred E. Neuman, Jerry Garcia, the Jackson 5 and Frank Sinatra. Any others is a real guessing game.
Posted by Dragonsbain on 31-07-2011 at 03:22:
Amethyst: That question is the beginning of a Doctoral Thesis.
I agree with you. Wholehardly.

I found all of those except for Sinatra. I do believe that I've found the Fords, Sonny & Cher, Lucille Ball, Christopher Reeves, Don King (though I'm not positive because I remember him from the 80's with the wigged-out grey afro), the Beatles.
I've got strong possibilities for Diana Prince, Jimmy Olsen. That's it so far.

The actual comic had a simplified rendering of the audience: outlines with numbers, and the list of the names.
Even those of us who knew them back in the 1970s would have trouble recognizing them now because our memories have altered. Either we look for their modern faces, or our memories only retain a few distinctive features.
BTW, the man in the lower right corner is, I think, (now) former President Jimmy Carter.

Thanks for the listing, LB! That's great to see and fun to peruse!

When I think of an older Jason, I think of the actor Sam Elliott. Only problem is his voice is too deep.

Sounds like he'd make a better Joe, then?
I came up with the speculative age of "51" by pretending that Jason had been ~18 in 1978, or ten years older than me.
I'd like to think he could still look good to me, now, but he'd have some grey hair, lines on his face, probably need reading glasses...
That's the great thing about animated characters -they don't age.
I mean, how long has Bart Simpson been a kid? Since 1989 or so?
Posted by Becky Rock on 31-07-2011 at 18:12:
And Maggie?

Also think about those cartoon strips in the newspaper - the Peanuts and Family Circus strips are how old? And the kids have never grown up. COme to think about it Beetle Bailey has never left the army either. He must be past retirement age by now.

That's better than what I first pictured. I remembered that Joe was originally based on Steve McQueen, so my mind went right to him as the fire chief in Towering Inferno. Not bad, but Sam Elliott has the look and the attitude, and has aged well (though, I do prefer him with long scraggly hair a la Roadhouse, then with the short cropped of We Were Soldiers).
