In an earlier article, August Paul Yang said this about the
alt.tv.Disney.afternoon Newsgroup:

 APY> It's real, although the Disney Afternoon Mailing list sees more
 APY> traffic. 

Forgive me for going off-topic for just a minute--in fact, if anybody
wants to answer my question email me the response so we don't clutter
up the Newsgroup.  I just wondered, being very new to the Net, what
does it mean to be on a Newsgroup's "mailing list"?  What's the
difference between posting in a Newsgroup and being on its mailing
list?  Does this Newsgroup have a mailing list?  Questions, questions,
questions!  Thanks for any help.

This is true.  September 9, 1990, if I remember correctly.  :)

SOmething tells me this refernce book is woefully out of date.  :)

The Tiny Toons magazine was handled by DC (I distinctly remember seeing
blurbs for it in their newsletter, DIRECT CURRENTS), but poor sales killed
it after something like 7 or 8 issues.  Once again, the fact that the 
series wasn' being watched by little kids like Warners thought it would
(not saying that kids don't watch, but heck, look at the ages of the people
here, why doncha?  :) more-or-less doomed the magazine.

The BUGS BUNNY mini-series, while I thought it was fairly well done,
did not sell that well, which is probably why the Tiny Toons didn't get
their own comic.

Here's an interesting factoid:  at the same time that they came out
with the TINY TOON ADVENTURES Magazine, DC also started to market a 
LOONEY TUNES Magazine, again pandering to the little kids.  It also
met with a swift death.  Interestingly enough, there's a new LOONEY
TUNES Magazine out...which isn't even being published by a company
that I recognize as being part of Time-Warner.  Evedently, Warner
Animation didn't appreciate DC's efforts on its behalf.  :)  On the
other hand, this mag is pandering to the kids as well.  *Sigh*  :)

As for novels...I've written short stories with the Tiny Toonsters in
'em before, but whole novels?  Now, that'd be interesting.  :)

I asked this before but either nobody replied or I did not see any 
replies.  Is it possible to purchase video copies of the TTA series? 
Since the show is not being broadcast over here, I thought it would be 
nice to have a copy of the shows as they are so excellently done. If 
it is possible, where and how much? (Of course, cost would be a key 
factor. <g>)

I think this is a line in Yankee Doodle Dandy, starring Jimmy Cagney. Near the
end of the movie, he's lying in a hammock reading the trade paper. Some young
college kids come along and ask him what the headline means. The headline
reads something like Hix Stix Nix Pix, if not exactly like. He translates

Although I am more of A Disney fanatic when it comes to cartoons, I admit that
Tiny Toons comes to a very close second. What I think makes them so enjoyable
are the adventures (shorts, minies, etc) where the tiny toons are singing. 
  My favorite one, was the last part of one of the 'adventures' where (i think
it was) Monte stole a slurpee machine and the rap was blamed on Buster.  
I would really appreciate any episode/adventure titles that have the 
singing in it, and a possible trade could be made(?)

First, for those of us who may still be wondering, it should have
been 1990.

Second, they never had their own DC comic book.  Rather, DC Comics
(a unit of Time-Warner) handled the distribution of their activity
magazine.  It was a quarterly, and I *think* it's been cancelled.
Each issue had a subscription form for DC Comics -- at least the
books not labeled "For Mature Readers".  Bugs Bunny, on the other
hand, was the star of a 3-issue mini-series by DC Comics.  And where
*do* they get the idea that there were novels?

_\ rec.arts.tv.tiny-toon was NOT one of the ones they removed.


Yesterday afternoon an article titled "Bogus USENET Newsgroups"
arrived in news.announce.newgroups (moderated), listing all of
the USENET newsgroups that are forged, superseded or deleted.
Here's the relevant part of that article:

_\ rec.arts.tv.tiny-toon           no proposal


Somebody (probably "Dr. Roger Rabbit" at the Univ. of Michigan)
forged a newgroup control message for this group.  Some sites
automatically respond to a newgroup message by creating the group;
if so, anyone who 'knows the system' can create a newsgroup on
your machine.

Of course, part of the reason 'the system' *works* is that the
hundreds of people who know how to forge control messages don't.

Why haven't your sysadmins detected and removed the bogus group?
I dunno.  But rec.arts.tv.tiny-toon is definitely a forgery.



Here's the "Notes:" section from the end of the article about
bogus newsgroups:

_\ This article covers the seven USENET hierarchies of comp, misc, news,
_\ rec, sci, soc and talk.  It does include INET groups.
_\ 
_\ While USENET is a co-operative anarchy, and doesn't really have
_\ "official" and "bogus" groups that are enforcable anywhere other than
_\ at each individual site, groups listed in this article are considered
_\ by a majority of admins to be not valid based on the reasons above.
_\ Keeping a coherent picture of what most admins think the USENET
_\ namespace looks like helps everyone to use network news more
_\ effectively by being better able to target appropriate audiences.
_\ People posting to groups in this list will probably find propogation
_\ of their postings to be poor, and thus potential responses to them to
_\ be limited.
_\ 
_\ Groups appear in this list by virtue of either having had
_\ well-propagated newgroup messages or a remarkably high number of
_\ articles posted to them.  Some of the superseded groups have not yet
_\ rmgroup messages sent for them, as they are in their three month
