Looks interesting. I love these types of book. I had already been hinting around about the Hanna-Barbera Treasury for a Christmas idea, very might well have to add this one on too.

Doing research last night though it looks like none of my local Borders or Waldenbooks carry the Treasury unfortunately.

Sounds like I nice book. However, I don’t understand why Scrappy and Yippy are on the cover since their cartoon were never shown on telvision during the 1990’s.

The first ping of ’90s nostalgia?

(OMG, need to cash in the the ’80s vein before it dies up!)

What annoys me even more about not being able to find a copy of the H-B Treasury around is that all of the bookstores have about 5 copies of the Nicktoons books on their shelves.

Watch out, the whole Retro-90’s fad could come at any moment!

Pardon my ignorance here but what is the name of the green character on the cover? Thanks

Bladder, the Incontinent Fox

The cover art is by Mark Martin who tried to follow my request to draw cartoony characters that would sort of familar but wouldn’t infringe any copyright.
