Comic Strip

[sadiqq7]

MAN THIS IS MEMORIES SUNDAY MORNINGS BEFORE CHURCH!

[DJCandyManMike]

I only ever saw this show a few times when I went to visit family in Florida, but thank goodness God gave me a good enough memory that I remember this show! That intro kicks serious ass!

[zshaw7549]

I remember watching this everytime in elementary school but I can't remember if it came on during the weekend or afterscchool. If anyone was raised in the DC Metro Area during the time this show was aired, please tell me if it came on the Mon- Fri or on Sunday Mornings.

[LongHairedCreepyGuy]

@zshaw7549 I was only able to watch it when I visited my sister (she had cable, we didn't), so I remember it from the weekends.

[chillg1]

@zshaw7549 in chicago it came on everday back in the 80's

[AkiRCuTe]

AWESOME!!!! I like to mucho this song!!!! Thanks! :))

[FanHawk2010]

OMG! I never thought I'd see this ever again!! I miss watching these cartoons!!!

[Jonster2612]

Who can do hip hop better than a frog? LMFAO

[Zorlion]

That was a cartoon show, I wish they kept is running, the younger generation don't know what they are missing.

[bluricane]

I hated this show back then because the only cartoon they used air was Tiger Sharks,and they were like a Thunder Cat imitation.My favorite were the Street Frogs and they rarely showed that..

[fyi1a]

Very funny. You should check out comics by jlewh.

[pompezz]

i'M GONNA CRY!!!!

[MrAdchiti]

I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS A FEW TIMES WHEN I WAS IN 2ND GRADE FROM THE 1989-1990 SCHOOL YEAR WHEN IT AIRED ON SYNDICATION ON WCGV CHANNEL 24 THEN KNOWN AS A FOX AFFILIATE BUT NOW IS AFFILIATED WITH MY NETWORK TV.

[dennisphillips69]

man the good ol days 

[stremybrandy]

if you watch this in the morning you will get up and go outside and play all day.

[stryderblaze80]

[yhzelkrischel]

ye b mga

[stebopign]

remember when kids looked forward to saturday mornings?

well... cable happened, now they get cartoons whenever they want. LoL.

[Awesmic]

Now that I recall, TigerSharks was indeed ANOTHER spiritual spinoff of Thundercats in this variety show. Same animation company, same style intro...

It all makes sense now. Thundercats was the army, Silverhawks was the air force, Tigersharks was the navy. Rankin/Bass practically had all sides covered for their Saturday morning / weekday timeslots back in the day, lol.

[phesterjr]

@Awesmic This shit use to come on every Saturday before I had to go to Judo class in the morning. Who the fuck doesn't miss being a kid in the 80's, man!

[skalabin69]

@phesterjr i do, man those cartoons were the sh*t, unlike the ones on tv now so retarded

[stryderblaze80]

@Awesmic

Agreed!!!!!

[falconcourt500]

i remember these shows,sweet!!!!!!

[ellocorod]

Sounds like Wake Me Up Before You Go !!!

[Lamolecula]

Dios mio. Un clasico. Graxias a quien lo subio.!!!

[ChArLiRoCkS89]

OMG, used to watch this every morning before going to school, with the flinstone kids and the tom & jerry kids!!! :D :D

[lobstersushi88]

MrCoco345 must be having a bad day.

[MrCoco345]

rubbish

[a1cjlock]

I remember back in the day living in South Florida you had three channels to watch cartoons! WBFS 33, WDZL 39 (now WSFL) in miami, and WFLX 29 in West Palm Beach. If I missed a show on one station I knew I'd might find it on the other! Damn good memories!

[peugteobike]

too bad that you don't see this on tv anymore.great memories will live forever

[1massacre]

Who the hell didnt watch Comic Strip back then.

[renekenshin6573]

I used to watch Tiger sharks and Karate Kat back then, this is so nostalgic :D

[suspekt29]

The theme to this popped into my head this morning.  I knew it would be on YouTube. Man I miss 1989

[Frank371292]

I'm kinda' surprised, reading these comments, that some areas aired this as a two and a half hour block instead of a half hour each weekday.  Go figure.

I don't suppose you have the Tuesday and Thursday version of the intro. I remember this one was used on the Monday/Wednesday/Friday episodes. I mean, I thought this one was a little cooler, personally, but it'd be nice to see both, still.

For what it's worth--not much, admittedly--I liked the Mini Monsters the best of the four segments.

[carlotta1924]

ahh, memories! loved this cartoon!

[johnissoevil]

I remember when WWOR was airing this show on Saturdays. At the same time, Fox launched a Saturday night stand up comedy show "Comic Strip Live." To help curb the confusion, channel 9 advertised this cartoon as "Comic Strip Animated."

[LADYTHUNNDER]

HA i used to wake up every sat morning to rec this cartoon my fav is tiger sharks.this is so throw back man the best memories.thanks for posting

[jase7474]

Agreed. This is back when Satuday mornings were Saturday mornings. When ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX had nothing but wall to wall cartoons from 5am to 1pm sometimes.

[Shazzasky]

I watched this on WSBK Channel 38 in Boston which is now UPN. It used to be on 8:30 every morning in the Spring and Summer of 1990 I remember. I was 7 going on 8 that summer. I loved 2 of the cartoons of the 4 they used to use. Each day they used 2 cartoons. I remember the Street Frogs were one of my favs and I think the other I loved were the monsters.

[galantpd]

I used to watch this as a kid.

Wasn't it on in prime time?

[Metnal]

Love Karate Kat

[mireaux7]

nothing with more flavor for kids than generic cheesy cartoons like these...but even as cheesy as these cartoons were in the late 80's..even the worst 80's handdrawn anime beats out today's standard CG generated cartoons...which brings up the question.."does anyone DRAW cartoons anymore??..or has the inkbrush been forever replaced with a computer mouse??"....."yo dawg,..git down wit da street frogs!!"

[Magegg]

Totally true.

[KerryC05]

Man LISTEN to that bass! And the Sax just makes this intro soooooo much better!!  The Keyboards just put it on the map man!! C.O.M.I.C.-S.T.R.I.P-Come an take a trip on The Comic Strip!

[Kagereneko]

Oh shit... I just remembered the saturdays in the mornings back in 1989... My favorite one was the Karate Kat...

[Kennysteele81]

wow this brings so many sunday morning memories.

[jfliguy]

@Kennysteele81 You remember sunday mornings. Hell yeah it came on like early and then I know down here when Sunday morning cartoons were over with and they showed the 3 Stooges and then Blondie. Man I miss those days.

[ja4real]

I miss this so much. Gosh,those were the good ol' dayz. thanks so much 4 posting

[Focusakker]

So, what channel airs the Comic Strip here in the Tri-State Area?

[delorianstar]

[Ornajela]

[dz13wb]

Sniff sniff... Oh the old times...

[Janayla94]

The first time I saw this intro was in 1987 when I was in 3rd grade.

[JXPCWS]

The Comic Strip was the last project done by Rankin/Bass creators Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass.

[bolbolsailok]

[ANSON29]

[CelesteK]

I'd watch it on Saturday mornings on WUHF Rochester and WUTV Buffalo.

[robschulz]

[NathanMosaic]

One of the most underrated cartoons ever!

[bamccull]

It was a show that featured four cartoons. You might not see all of them but they usually played 2 of the shows. Either you were 2 young to remember or weren't born at all.

[astrid26a]

I am like bouncing up and down I can't believe someone posted this yayyyy!

[mammashira]

no one I talk to remembers this theme song and for a while I thought maybe it wasn't for real. I am SOOO stoked to see this. LOVED comic strip!!!!

[knight3176]

00:41 to 00:45 that guy who says underwater adventure with the tigersharks is the guy who voiced our favorite lord of the thundercats

[phoenixmoon3]

this theme song is up there with Kidd Video( the best) and Where's Waldo.

[stremybrandy]

the good old days with a bowl of coco puffs in the morning waching tiger sharks,

[Ancina1863]

Those are bad ass cartoons.

Estas son las caricaturas con las que crecí, las típicas del sabado por la mañana, siempre las recordare.

[patrickballoonman]

Mystery with the Mini-Monsters!

Comedy with Karate Kat!

Music with the Street Frogs!

Action with the Tigersharks!

[Ghenges]

Son of a peach.. I used to try to explain to people about these cartoons and they all thought I was smoking crack. I knew it wasn't a dream! Thanks for posting!

[json1977]

I remember this show, it used to come on Sunday mornings

[jaysato]

i remember this. people barely did. i had to remind them.

[popsicle]

i could clearly relate..

[jase7474]

loved these the shows that had 3-4 cartoons like this one, Saturday SuperCade, and the one that had Robotix, Inhumanoids, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines, and Gem.

[blackxypher]

when does the dvd come out?

[OmegaX2000]

Does anyone know where to find this series? And I mean the entire series.

[golfovallecano61]

MITICO

[directordino]

Tiger Sharks & Karate Kat ahhhhh, i feel sorry for kids these days who may see this

[ShadesMP5]

EHHHHHHHHH!!! Wrong answer! This was a Sunday morning TV show from the 80's. Back in the 80's they had the weirdest coolest shit on Sunday morning. And the comic strip was the shit. Tiger Sharks and Karate Kat are BAD ASS!!

[Derekgray124]

I liked Karate Cat and Tiger sharks myself out of all of them. I was just thinking of theme song this morning. How ironic it being Sunday and all lol..Ohh to be 8 again

[SpankRamen]

Saturday mornings in the mid-80's! Could you ask for more?

[mstrglss]

All I remember is that they hardly ever showed tiger sharks, so I stopped watching it.

[bhayes06]

Shudder. One hour of crap that couldn't hold a candle to "Thundercats" or "SilverHawks." Please gag me.

[cubbi1977]

I have not seen this since 1990, I thought I've never see that show again. :)

[NostalgiaManila]

Wish you could watch FULL-LENGTH hi-res quality EPISODES of your favorite 80's cartoons and not just the opening credits? Now you can! Just Google: "Nostalgia Manila" and you'll find the blog. Now playing FULL-LENGTH episodes of: Thundercats, The New Adventures of Batman, Silverhawks, The Smurfs, and Classic Looney Tunes Favorites Merrie Melodies!

[Bishop2120]

I used to watch this show every Sunday before doing my paper route. Ah, those were the days. They just don't make 'em like this anymore. I love the theme song and most of the shows were pretty good. Tigersharks were cool...

[chaosdimension24]

LOL Havent seen this cartoon in 12 years. Thanks for the upload. Brings back memories :) Karate Kat & Tiger Sharks is the best :)

[Phrivalus]

Yo, I can't find any cartoons for Karate Kat. That's like calling 1-800-collect-an-ass-whuppin'! And no, that ain't no toll free call, partner.

[SonicSwimmer78]

I know what you mean, Mitzuki. I wish they released that on DVD as well. Ah!  By the way, I originally posted that video to RetroJunk.com! If anyone's interested, I have a hi-fi .mp3 of both the TigerSharks and the Comic Strip, thanks to a Lorimar Home Video of the TigerSharks (which I still have!) containing two episodes.

[Mitzki]

Man, thanks for the memories. This was the time when cartoons were at their best IMO. Hopefully someone will release a Comic Strip DVD just as they did for He-Man and Thundercats.

[Willjin]

That's really great. I want to see some of this stuff on dvd :-/. Especially Tigersharks.

[WoolyBully101]

Gosh! I can remember this!! Tiger Sharks was definitely my number one comic strip! Now my childhood years are coming back to me!

[Gambit2483]

This was a really good show. All four shows were all different themes and had some pretty good stories, although I didn't like street frogs all that much. Tigersharks kicked ass though

[vhunter]

different themes - hence the name 'comic strip' :)

[vhunter]

in fact, it should be 'strips', but then it would sound weird..oh well, it is what it is (and it's a great cartoon memory!!)

[be4igo]

Hahaha. I still remembered the intro word for word. And this show was almost 20 years ago.

[Tavious007]

i used to watch this show all the time. whenever we start talking about old cartoons, i always bring this up...and nobody knows what the hell i'm talking about!

[rexangelus]

can you tell me the name of these cartoons

[dorourke105]

This cartoon used to be on sunday mornings in syndication, it was by the same guys who did Thundercats and Silverhawks

[dreaminjosh]

No one ever remembers this show. I never really used to know what times anything came one when I was little, so I would just keep the TV on all day and when I heard theme songs I recognized I would run to the TV. I remember hearing this come on and nearly breaking my neck to get in there to watch it.

[mattiehottie]

naaalala ko pa pinapanood ko to lagi twing hapon pagkauwi gling sa school...channel 9....damn, sarap alalahanin ulit ung mga panahong un....those times was awesome!!!

[carlotta1924]

true! we also had better times then... *sigh* memories, memories.

[silverknightangel]

damm, it's so sad I can't get to see any of these again, I really miss this old cartoons, subb

[shoryukenx]

OMG! Can you still get this on video???? I never thought I would see any of these guys ever again. It seems like yesterday I was watching this!

[n9thnahledg]

I try to remind some people about this and they blank out, this is a great help. thnx!

[progress426]

DamN.....

[ChikYY]

Mil gracias!! tenia siglos buscando ver esto denuevo..YOURE THE BEST !!!

Tiger Sharks, Mini Monsters, Street Frogs and Kararte Kat. They were great shows.

[davidrin]

[twincastx]
