Clutch Cargo Opening

For those that have never seen an episode of Clutch Cargo, this is the cartoon that inspired the people at Late Night With Conan O'Brien's TV gag. You know, the one with the photo of someone famous, but someone else's lips are super-imposed over it?

Thumbs up if you looked up Clutch Cargo because the Max Headroom TV pirate was humming this theme.

Didn't it hit you as odd that Spinner never went to school and was running around the world with an older man who was not his father?

Wasn't there a sci-fi version with this type of moving-mouth animation called "Space Angel"? The title character ( I believe) was named Scott McCloud and wore an eyepatch, had a girlfriend named Crystal, and had a sidekick who spoke with a Scottish accent named Tarus, who had red hair & beard? Please tell me that I'm not wrong on this cuz somehow I remember seeing this and Clutch Cargo as a grade-school kid in the 60s. Thanx.

@olddude521 I remember that well . . . why did they even frigging bother?

[olddude521]

@elc1960 What really sucked about these cartoons was once in a blue moon they actually tried to use some real animation.It looked worse than those lousy moving lips.
