Street Frogs & Mini-Monsters will be coming soon, especially Mini-Monsters, with "Spooktober" a week and a half away. Comic Strip, as you noted, is R-B's answer to Disney Afternoon, but it bombed because of the options the producers allowed affiliated stations to have.

Some local affiliates would air TCS in it's full 2 hour version on weekends, while others would air the show in half hour installments (2 shorts per show)on weekday afternoons. I guess that Rankin-Bass' idea was for "The Comic Strip" was to rotate with new segments each new season, like The Disney Afternoon, but since TCS didn't go beyond a single season, that obviously didn't happen.<br /><br />For the record, the other 3 attractions on "The Comic Strip" were: Tigersharks (an adventure show done in the mold of "ThunderCats" and "Silverhawks" and also the only half hour segment on the show), Mini Monsters and Street Frogs.Goldstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846460632113045285noreply@blogger.com
