After many drunken retro conversations with friends this weeks conversation steered itself towards kids cartoons. After half an hour of captain caveman and many others.. an image of dinosaur like creatures which had strange stationery (yes stationery) items as powers, popped into my head. One could cut, one could staple, one could punch holes with his teeth... Everyone told me I was making it up and moved swiftly on to scooby doo. I begged and pleaded with them to remember Saturday mornings, they were part of the Fun Factory show but my attempts where shot down. After about a 3 hour search on the internet I found them. I found... the diplodos
http://templeimages.free.fr/images/1htm/diplodos.htm is a link for pictures if you can't remember them. Or google diplodos.
The reason many people can't remember them is because it was originally a french cartoon only translated for one series ( I think) so not many people saw it.
I printed the pictures and took them to the pub where I received many "oh yeah's" and "Nope you're still making it ups."
Just goes to show, with the internet, a little hard work and a day without the boss in the office, you can achieve almost anything.
Just thought I would share my retro glory with all of you retro junkies.
