great stuff!cheers Kenny! my faves were the 2 on the left on the big pic.
oh and I remember a little girl used to keep coming in and singing ta-ra-ra-bum-di-hey (god knows if thats how you spell it!) and the banana splits would keep trying to get rid of her.

"Oh-oh ! Chongo !" was a popular catchphrase in our school at the time.

Yes it was arabian nights, what a cartoon that was. Think everyone in the street was up to watch it.

slightly scary !

I liked the show but found some of the psychadelic weirdness pretty disturbing.
I remember during the show they'd show a clip of 2 blonde twin girls playing guitars saying a weird song, and this would for some reason make the splits go crazy and they'd throw themselves around like they were going mental !
Weird !

Drooper always reminds me of Woody Allen.
