In Japan, an AOL-like service called Open Data Network promotes itself using a Disney Pooh theme. In the US, that would mean it was targeting kids, but (as best as I can tell) they’re not particularly doing that in cute-friendly Japan. In fact, I have a sign-up disc with a video that seems to show two successful businesswomen using a service called PoohMail2Plus. (I picked up the disc when I was in Tokyo last year, and just found it in my messy office–which is why I’m suddenly bringing all this up.)

There are bears that have been licensed, such as Yogi, Pooh, Paddington, the Care Bears, and other lovable ursines who I’m forgetting right now. And then there’s

 My friend Frank Calomino is selling his 16mm print of a Yogi Bear show on eBay. It’s got original commercials (obviously from a 1966 rerun) and is a bit faded, but 16mm prints are still the only way to see these things as they originally aired. I’m plugging it here because I want him to get a good price for it (and it gives me an excuse to post those nifty frame grabs above). No Comments » posted in Old Brew

Brew regular Chris Sobieniak caught this swipe: While having to go to the store earlier today, I came across what I spotted as a near identical pose lifted from one of Preston Blair’s famous animation books! The Ohio Lottery Commission has released a scratch ‘n win ticket called Lucky Dog Doubler that shows a dog with a wad of cash in his mouth while having his front left paw out.I decided to check for that same image in “Cartoon Animation” and it couldn’t help but think of how uncanny if was for some artist to swipe that shot from page 13 (though with some slight modifications and other liberties thrown in). I’ve attached the dogs in question just so you can compare, but I got a laugh seeing that on a scratch ‘n win ticket! No Comments » posted in Old Brew

ODN’s Pooh site is available for your entertainment here. It’s 99% in Japanese, and that’s one reason why I just spent about five minutes wandering around it, being pleasantly confused. If you like oddball uses of American cartoon characters in foreign lands, I suggest you do the same. One other note: Both the disc and the site have prominent credits for A.A. Milne and Ernest Shepard. I’m not sure why–or if they’d be pleased or disgruntled to be associated with the Disneyfied versions of their characters. But it’s nice to see an example of Disney licensing that actually credits the guys who came up with the characters in the first place. No Comments » posted in Old Brew

If you’re in Portland (Oregon, that is) you can see these in person at a coffee shop this month. If you’re anywhere else, stop by the online gallery and prepare to spend some time being startled and fascinated. No Comments » posted in Old Brew
