Hello, I am telling you about one big masterpiece.
Here's the Chilean Mampato comic series: it has a time-travelling redhead boy teamed up with big nosed Ogu the caveman and green eyed Rena, a preteen flying saucer-driving alien rebel-feminist! I think that makes a surprising Latin American masterpiece, because Chileans prefer a hairy caveman with a full loincloth to a nearly hairless one with a small loincloth.
Who is Ogu the caveman, what does he look like? Yes, Ogu does look like a hairy Fred Flintstone impression. But the main difference: unlike our more familiar Alley Oop who doesn't marry yet, he has a wife and a son! Guess what: their names are Tinalin and Agu.
Who is Rena, what does she look like? Yes, Rena does look like a green eyed tomboy Judy Jetson impression with feminist attitude! The main difference: she has dyed pink-white hair, tan skin and green eyes, making her perhaps a human saiyan hybrid. She may also be slightly younger than Judy.

The nasty food alphabet
Dear young foodies, which food is dangerous for you to eat?
African bullfrogs: this big frog beast from the African savannah is quite dangerous for you to eat, because it contains lots of toxins! I believe that many Africans like to eat the whole bullfrog as bush meat, that's why!
Blood clams: the blackish clam creature - from silty regions of the majestic Yangzi river - is notorious for you to eat, because it has a harbour of deadly diseases that can kill you, unless you're vaccinated.
Chimps: the chimpanzee is a wonderful animal to watch at a jungle park, because it dips the stick to pick termites as a snack and hunts the smaller animals (monkeys and duikers in particular) for lunch. But as you go too close, it gets mad on you and can rip your face off! You may also avoid the creature's bush meat, because it's full of nasty diseases.
Duikers: most duiker species (a favourite prey of the chimp) are primarily forest animals, even though a few of them are familiarly seen in the savannah. Beware, their meat may be full of nasty diseases. Oil palms and elephant grasses are two of the many foods they feed on.
Elephants: elephants as bush meat is what humans most loved to eat in the prehistoric times, because they're big and tough for many animals to hunt, but not so for them. Dammit, some Africans still eat elephants.
Gorillas: strong but gentle, gorillas are mostly peaceful animals lead by their silverback. Like chimps however, they face extinction due to some nasty diseases linked with the bush meat trade!
Monitor lizards: those large and smart lizards native to the tropics are typically infamous for their diversity of colour. Goanna and komodo are two of many names given to the lizards.
Pangolins: most African pangolin species are seen in the crowded jungle habitat, except for the ground pangolin which lives in the savannah. Like chimps and gorillas, most of those pangolins are endangered due to the bush meat trade!

Cool tv talent contest facts you will know!
Hello fans, I think Pop-stars and Idol have become legends, so what does it mean they have origins dating back further than expected?
1. The first Middle Eastern tv talent shows: the Middle East tv talent show sub-genre made Arab and Middle East history in the mid to late seventies, because it's probably an Algerian invention! I think according to an old edition (possibly a second edition, from 2000) of Rough Guide's Middle East/Europe music book, many talented stars from the seventies onwards have probably started their careers in some pioneering tv talent contests spoken in Arabic, that's interesting!
2. Many tv-made pop groups (regardless of nationality or language) have ironically short lives: why are many of the current pop-groups (you mean, pop groups created in a tv talent show) so crap and soulless? Is it because they use autotune and generate just as much controversy as their more natural elders, the Beatles and Monkees formula bands?
3. The first Indo-European tv talent shows, apart from English: oh dear, according to the DK/Kindersley's Spain book (my Tia Georgette owns this), it's ironic, the talent show genre currently dominates many Spanish-speaking pop music industries! I think the first non-Anglophone Western tv talent shows of the current generations (apart from Eurovision, which is surprisingly the oldest surviving such tv contest, although not a true one) may have been made in the seventies/eighties to nineties, regardless of continents and languages. I think Romania remains ahead of time when it comes to true television contests in as early as 1970, as is a large part of Germany in as early as the 1960s.
4. Many tv-made solo pop stars have surprisingly long careers: in their beginnings - like pop-groups made by tv, they entered a tv contest and sang song covers that are actually quite okay - even when you make a close up at their pretty wide-ranging qualities of singing and other talents, regardless of their profiles!
5. The first Asian/advanced tv talent shows: the Asian tv talent show genre unquestionably made history in the mid to late 80s, because I think it's probably a Japanese invention with a big twist. Being quite ahead for its original time, it can be split into a possible group of language-bound sub-genres (even though they need slightly more description) but only has three generations, because it gets bastardised fast!
6. Contestants dead or alive: even though the bounds between countries are kind of unworthy, the winning contestant (dead or alive) is in the top of a talent pyramid. Some notable contestants in some controversial talent shows could have been dead.

Netflix and chill!
Hello fans, welcome to the addictive world of Netflix!
Netflix is currently here at our home since this Autumn! It has a wide range of films and shows to offer.
Miniforce: the incredibly popular South Korean show has many dubs and is largely inspired by both Transformers and Power Rangers - and to some extent - Sonic the Hedgehog games (particularly the four title characters). This includes: Vietnamese, the English "test dub" (mostly seen on Youtube), Indonesian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, and the TUTUM English dub (mostly seen on Netflix). Like most locally Korean-made "Aeni" exports, it is destined to become an instant classic.
G.O.R.A: Turkey's answer to Zathura, this time featuring a Turkish man captured by aliens! It's kinda crap, because it's made of crude cgi animation and the same human character who badly speaks English! Ironically, it has an equally successful sequel called A.R.O.G (this time it got a world first - being an unofficial film homage to Alley Oop!), because the actor (who is also a comedian) is big in Turkey.
Pajaros Volando: a worthy 2010 Argentinian film about an 'almost-becoming-a-hoax' alien encounter! This features a Spanish-speaking hippie community (played by comedians and actors) trying to encounter some UFO thing? It's in the end that the poncho-clad priest had only actually encountered it! Many hilarious moments include: the titular character playing a guitar and a funny lady teasing the men, as if they think her brown alien puppet (presumably E.T.) is alive!?

Dove shop laserdiscs
Hello
I went to the dove shop at Glenn Innes, looking for something amazing.
An NTSC coded Wayne's World 2 DVD is really amazing! I also saw a Hong Kong laserdisc, which is a huge CD or silver vinyl by the way!
It is a karaoke one, I believe it is made in 1993 by Hong Kong company Star Entertainment.
This is the first time I bought a laserdisc at a thrift shop!

Chic Chat, Kiwi cousin of Peppermint Park
Hello fans.
It's controversial but important at the same time that I want to define what is unintentionally creepy and disturbing even by today's standards!
Chic Chat: one of NZ’s less well known kids shows has been a permanent television archive resident for a long time.
Therefore, the only good videotape of it is known to exist in the archive itself.
This is because it probably has a current reputation for being awkward and gross to Kiwi kids with the host's puppets speaking in pirate accents!
Even though it has many differences to the equally notorious Peppermint Park, particularly the Scottish accented rodent star Willie McNabb and the show's decent puppeteer host Chic Littlewood, it shares something in common with it, gross and awkwardly embarrassing puppetry!
It probably ran for two years in the early 80s, when dad was a model. Peppermint Park came later, in 1987.
Peppermint Park was set in a defunct American theme park of the same name, while Chic Chat's setting was a fake afternoon backyard.

Marsupilami day, coming on January 31st!
Welcome to my site!
Let's celebrate 65 years after the marsupilami's first appearance into the comics on Jan 31st 1952.
We found out that the best known marsupilami species had become widespread in South America, but now rarer in its native African land.
Happy 65th anniversary for the big break into pop culture!
