Description
Scott_Da_Hedgehog once inquired as to whether or not the BarbozaToons ever spawned a "Tiny Toons"-like TV series. The answer: they sure did! Meet the principal cast of "The BarbozaToon Kids", the Gryphon Television Animation production that ran in syndication from 1992 to 1996. Similar to "Tiny Toons" in that it featured junior versions of the original BarbozaToons characters, each episode featured three new six-minute cartoons based on the exploits of the BarbozaToon Kids as they sought to emulate their classic counterparts. From left to right:- Katy Kitty, the cute yet violent female equivalent of Bitty Kitty
- Ragamutt, the shaggy, unkempt, and extremely dumb junior version of Finnigan
- Kev Kangaroo, the bright, fun-loving, and resourceful counterpart to Ken Kangaroo
- Harley O'Hare, the hip and easily angered kid version of Commander O'Hare
- Stewie Skunk, Smelson Skunk's young Southern-bred and simple-minded equivalent
- Donna Blitzin, the trendy and socially alert child version of Vixen the Reindeer
- Romulus Raven, the sleazy and tough-talking equivalent of Regulus Raven
- Max Headworm, the Earthworm's enigmatic and fast-moving juvenile counterpart
There's more to the cast, of course, but this is all I could fit on one page - expect the other half of the cast to come soon.

In the 90's it would be a good cartoon for Warner Bros

Max Headworm? You are the only person that I've seen that made a Max Headroom reference.

Wow. I am suddenly reminded of my childhood as a big TTA fan.

Hey, JB
I like how you use your imagination with your characters' history. Your style is very much like Tiny Toons.
I'll be looking forward to the grand opening of your new animation studio in the future!

Very nice. One question.. how does a worm wear a shirt if it has no arms

Rubber bands and/or strings ^^

Nice work on their designs. Again very expressive and you make them look like the kids they aught to be. I especially like Kev's blazing orange look (against Ken's subdued peach(?) color).
I could imagine some fairly odd-couple situations between Smelson and Stewie though

>w< Aw they're so cute! I never saw it, but you do the cutest expressions for them; I'm so in love with your WB style, and yet you always keep a uniqueness about it thats all your own X3

Well, there's a reason you've never seen this show - it doesn't actually exist. It's just another chapter in my endless endeavors to make my fabricated history for the BarbozaToons look as genuine as possible.

I gotta second Ishoka. I can easily imagine Katy Kitty having a Sweetie-like voice.
All of these guys look good. I wonder if they ever got stuck having to do eco-friendly episodes? XD

Oh yes, of course. It was the early-to-mid 1990s, after all.

Wow, splendid work with the designs of them all
Katy kinda reminds me of Sweety with her colors and giant bow.. I like it

Well, technically, he'd probably be trying to emulate Ice-T or Public Enemy, given that this is 1992 and all. In Season 2, though, some dope like Snow (the post-Vanilla Ice forerunner to Eminem) would be right up his alley.

Ah well.. I have no freaking clue about the whole rap scene back then... All I know is that is was just as pathetic as it is today XD

Wow, there is no end to your talents, is there? I'm loving the design for Katy Kitty - she looks adorable!

I must say you have a very amazing understanding of toon anatomy. The only thing that stands out to me is where the line that makes up Ken's pinky shouldn't go all the way to the base of the palm. If you erased maybe 1 mm or even less it might look better.

Actually, I just realized that I gave Kev gloves for no apparent reason (since Ken doesn't wear them - in fact, aside from Maxine Mink, none of my characters wear gloves, and even then, Maxine's are the evening wear kind). Apparently, I was thinking of Buster Bunny and got my wires crossed.
But then again, he is wearing a hoodie, so I guess it could be part of his winter ensemble.
