Batfink

Today's next post should be familiar to everyone. It's Batfink!

Batfink is a superpowered anthropomorphic grey bat in a yellow costume with a big red "B" on the chest and red gauntlets and boots. He uses his super-sonic sonar radar and metallic black wings to fight crime. In the last episode of the series ("Batfink: This Is Your Life"), it's revealed that he got his powers from being born in an abandoned plutonium mine and that he'd lost his natural wings as a child while saving his mother's life after escaped convicts blew up their mountaintop cave. This incident is what motivated him to become a crimefighter.
Karate is a gi-clad martial arts expert and Batfink's oafish sidekick who drives the Battillac. He is somewhat oversized and isn't very bright, but is strong enough to help Batfink out of any situation. He carries a wide variety of objects and gadgets in his "utility sleeve", but he often has trouble finding what he needs in it. Karate tended to succeed by dumb luck rather than by skill or ingenuity, and often Karate's involvement would make a bad situation worse.
Together they would take on criminals and madmen, protecting the city from crimes and nefarious schemes!

Telebugs

Today's second post is about a trio of intelligent robots with televisions for heads, it's the Telebugs!

The robots' names are C.H.I.P. (Coordinated Hexadecimal Information Processor), S.A.M.A.N.T.H.A. (Solar Activated Micro Automated Non-inTerference Hearing Apparatus) and B.U.G. (Binary Unmanned Gamma camera) - who were accompanied by a flying video pack called M.I.C. (Mobile Independent Camera). They were invented by Professor Brainstrain (who is also known as Pwofessor Bwainstwain, owing to his unfortunate speech impediment) to stop enemies such as Baron Bullybyte, Magna, Angel Brain, Zudo Bug and Arcadia, whilst working as reporters for a TV executive named Mr McStarch.

Round The Bend

Time for a little 'toilet humour' with Round the Bend!

 

Round the Bend was a satirical parody of Saturday morning magazine shows — with a host providing linking material between cartoons, music videos and news sections - albeit set in a sewer. The anarchic tone of the show and its parody cartoons was similar to that of Viz, but made appropriate for children.

The cast was made up of Doc Croc and his three rat assistants. On occasion, the cast would be plagued by a shade-wearing teddy bear which, despite its diminutive size, would inflict great physical beatings to Doc Croc and the rest of the crew.

Keep an eye out for the parody of Thundercats in this episode!
