When the TV show aired, the title was FRANKENSTEIN JR. & THE
IMPOSSIBLES. Was “The Incredibles” a working title for the band?

Interesting concept drawing of the Impossibles with the name “The Incredibles.” Does that mean Disney can sue Hanna-Barbera for (to quote Chuck Jones) retroactive plagiarism?

Yeah, it was “The Impossibles” when it aired. I’m with Karl. Was it a working title?

Wow! Right down to the gold and black color scheme.

What’s with all the Pixar bashing all of the sudden?

Joe Barbera’s “The Blackstones” presentation (A “Flintstones” series in blackface) never sold either, and Iwao drew it, too. Maybe it’s in the book.

Nic, I don’t think anyone is bashing anything here. We’re just having fun.

I love them both to peeeces.
