Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space Pre-Production Artwork

The legendary Alex Toth created this art for Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space. Just thought I'd share it with you.

Scooby-Doo Meets Josie and the Pussycats

Two of Hanna-Barbera's greatest cartoons meet, but not without glitches like these:

Freddy tells Valerie to deactivate the trap, but Velma steps in and flips the switch.

Shaggy turns the crank the wrong way; he's lowering the trap, not raising it.

In a far shot of all the kids together, neither Josie nor Daphne move their lips while speaking.

The canvas, though nailed to the deck, slides across the floor when Sebastian crawls under it.

Velma grows even more suspicious of Lance Goodwin, pondering his resemblance to Capt. Scavenger. Which, incidentally is nil. They don't look at all alike. If that's your idea of deduction, then arrest Capt. Canaby, who looks a lot more like the ghost than Goodwin. More...

Obituary: Casey Kasem

Although his face wasn't as well-known as his voice, we will never forget the man who brought to life not one, but two scaredy-cat cartoon characters: Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and Alex from Josie and the Pussycats.

Alexandra Cabot: Threat or Menace?

For a small group just starting out, the Pussycats already have their own entourage. They always travel with their manager Alex, plus Alan, their roadie, but why do they bring Alexandra along? She doesn't hold any position or perform any function that we can see. And she isn't very good company, either. More...

Josie and the Pussycats Glitches

There are plenty of bloopers in the animated TV series Josie and the Pussycats, like these from the first episode, The Nemo's a No-No Affair:
The kids have to work for their passage because Alex didn't have enough money for the fares. Now, we know that the Cabots are rich (hence they can charge hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise to their father's account at a department store in All Wong in Hong Kong). Alexander II must keep a pretty tight reign on his kids' allowance, with no handouts to budding musical groups.
When the laser sentry is out of commission, Nemo loses the picture from his remote camera. But the camera wasn't mounted on the robot, it was following along with it, watching its every move.
Right before the Pussycats crash into the submarine, Melody stands up to take a picture, and a hand reaches up to pull her down. Now, whose hand is it? The blue sleeve looks like Josie's, but the beefy arm looks like Alan's.
