Description
Roger Ramjet, he's our manHero of our nation
For his adventures just be sure
And stay tuned to this station
Roger Ramjet is probably one of my favourite cartoons from the 60s, I recall seeing it first in the 80s when I was little and my mom remarking that she used to watch it when it first came out.
I gave him Powdered Toast Man's "Leave everything to me" stance
(Oddly enough, Roger and Powdered Toast Man share the same voice actor, the incredible Gary Owens).

I THINK that the first verse went SOMETHING like this:
"Roger Ramjet and his Eagles,
"Fighting for our freedom.
"Trying to win in outer space --
"Not to join 'em but to beat 'em!"
Then you went into the refrain "Roger Ramjet, he's our man ..."
I also recall that the general in the series would always stand behind Roger's jet exhaust in sending him off -- and getting blasted every time.
Not to mention that there was always a bird nesting in the exhaust ...
Thanks for the fun memories.

Cool! I think I got him mixed up with Tom Slick and Tom of T.H.U.M.B when I was watching some old Betamax recordings. Nice mention of Gary Owens who was also the voice of the original Space Ghost and also performed in Mighty Orbots as Ron Du.

Big time Space Ghost/Orbots fan here, but yeah gotta give it to the man he had an awesome voice.
I'm glad you dig this, for whatever reason it's at the bottom of my gallery in terms of popularity. Who doesn't like Roger Ramjet?

I often wonder what the animators in the 60s would have done if they had something like Flash to make things cheaper and faster.

Awesome! I worship your cartooning skills which bitchslap mine all over the place!!! Now do Kindly old Ma Ramjet and Lance Crossfire and Noodles Romanov and Jaqueline Hyde and...
One criticism, it's too professional looking, the series was NEVER that well drawn hahahahahaha (just kidding)
Oh and while we are on the subject of cartoon voice actors, why has nobody mentioned Mel Blanc? Another iconic cartoon voice actor who did (among others ) Ratchet in the original Transformer was good old Scatman Crothers, a very iconic voice.

I leaped out of bed this morning and I knew what I had to draw. When I finished colouring I decided to play around with an idea I had for shading, it came out really well.
One of these days I gotta do the whole crew
Mel Blanc is a god!

It's fantastic!
I started to ask you to submit it as a print and then I remembered. It's SOOO annoying that fan art can't be prints. I would buy a mug with this on it and quite possibly a poster too. Sigh. I want a mug with my cybernetic hero painting but it's fan art so no go.
This could have been my first print purchase ever.

Would you be very upset if I were to print off the download version on iron on paper and put it on a tee shirt? I will take a pic and link it if you like. I'll do you a gift art in trade.

Thank you, It just arrived. I am soo excited!! It might not be done until after xmas now as I am not sure I can afford fresh cardtridges for my printer on top of everything (it takes a sepparate cartridge for each of the 4 process colours *sigh*). Let me know if there is something I can do in return.

Well, the file openned without any problems. I zoomed RIGHT in and I was astonished at how close I had to go in order to see the pixcels. Maybe my files are too small. Anyway, it would have made a great mug DAMMIT .

I know, there must be some way I can get my art onto a mug...
I usually work at is at a high resolution, this one I think started out as being 10" by 10" at 300 dpi. Because I'm mad, bwah heh heh!
