I've noticed that when the moon is close to the horizon, it fills up a really good section of the sky and diminishes as it rises higher. My best guess is an illusion caused by atmosphere... especially since when the moon is low and huge, it tends to be a different color. Yellow to orange, usually.

She'll be in Scotland for a week, and then will go computer shopping when she gets back. Please help spread the word about this." I'm not sure if that means she lost all the new fan fiction - if you were thinking of sending it all again, I'd personally hold off until we hear from her again about whether or not she still needs it.

All the DAL net servers get the same channels. all the ports for IRC on the DAL net servers get the same channels. If you get a message when you join a room that says 'chanserv sets -o' it means that you either 1) didn't create the room or 2) created the room and let your ownership expire by not showing up once every 20 days or 3) don't have the room password. if a room is empty, it's still there, just no one happens to be there at the time. there are only around 50 of us on the list, and we don't all have alligning services. a room will only show up on the channel list if it is 1) registered or 2) has people in it and 3) isn't secret. if no one's there, wait a while, but ping yourself or someone so you don't get disconnected. eventually, someone will show up. i'm usually on at nite before 11 pm ct, and will come in the afternoons if 1) i don't have school, 2) am really bored, or 3) get asked to come on then. if you have icq, let me know, and you can im me when you're on. hope this cleared something up, hackle >> Hi K-fellows, >> I poked around all DAL net servers and I've found no channels (like >> #swatkats, #mkctowers, #rpgsk etc...).

Everyone who receives a copy should copy it to others, to reduce costs for everyone. I'll charge no fee, but I'll priviledge those who send my either money or empty CDs, since I can't afford buying dozens of CDs.

I'd like to start by saying I HATE MY COMPUTER! We salvaged the hard drive, but due to lack of RAM, ROM, and memory space on this 5-year-old model, it's moving at the speed of tED tURNER's ability to count to 10 (that's about 6 bytes per second). I CANNOT GET ON THE INTERNET. Netscape freezes, and I haven't been able to dial into Prodigy. This, of course, spells trouble for the archive. Yes, I am getting a new computer -- in the next 3 weeks. However, I care too much to let the 25 fanfics I have to put up from the past 6 weeks wait that long (not to mention the fact that there'll be 35 by then ...). I NEED SOMEONE TO DO THE UPDATE! I will still edit the stories and have them ready in text files, but I need someone to make the actual update. This requires: 1. Being able to upload into a geocities account (I will give the password) 2. Configuring the fanfic2.htm and fanfic3.htm files to show the new pieces 3. Uploading the fanfic2.htm and fanfic3.htm files into another geocities account (again, I will supply the password). This means you must have some basic .htm coding knowledge. I will do the fanfic.htm file -- the front page of the archive -- myself. You will not have to recieve or edit story files from authors. I am also looking for someone for this position more permanately, because I will be exceptionally busy this year, but we'll cross that brigde when we come to it. I also might need to speak with the person who does the update personally, because my computer and e-mail are SO slow, so that means I need a phone number. ANY VOLUNTEERS -- PLEASE CONTACT ME! Usual address -- djclawson@garden.net On the side, if anyone needs to reach me about the current condition of their fanfiction, they can e-mail me with their phone number.

Sort of... here's the deal: In a few months I'll be going into the U.S. Air Force's Officer Training School (USAF-OTS). It's an intensive 4-month course which leads to a commission as a second lieutenant upon completion, and will ultimately result in my working in my field of study (atmospheric sciences/meteorology). I first learned about OTS back in 1995 at a career fair on campus. At the time the USAF was the only organization specifically looking for meteorologists, and my understanding is that there's still a need for trained weather forecasters. I left a resume with the USAF representatives there, but it wasn't until last March that I was finally contacted by a recruiter (your guess is as good as mine as to why it took so long for them to get back to me). I took the qualifying exam in April and was interviewed by another USAF officer in May. The selection board which determined whether or not I would be accepted met in early August, with the results being released in late August. So what does any of this have to do with the list? As it turns out, plenty. I'm list admin, and I don't expect to have *any* internet access while I'm in training. Thus, NO admin stuff, like subscribing to the list, handling bounced email, misdirected messages, etc., will be done throughout my training period. I will also NOT be able to check or reply to any email sent to any of the following addresses: razor@netcom.com, razor@maxie.com, owner-kats@maxie.com or kats-request@maxie.com. And, due to training, I definitely won't be at ConFurence 9. The list itself will continue to operate normally; postings to the list will be redistributed to everyone on the list (and digest). I'll post another reminder to the list as soon as I know when I'll be going into training. It could be as early as the end of October, or it may not be until January. ------------------------------ From: Dana Uehara Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 14:20:31 -0700 Subject: updated web page To list katizens: I've updated my web page to include links to information on the mailing list, as well as some screen grabs I've done of a few SK episodes.

This edtion is small, and the next one will be better. More in-depth. Jokes of the Month How tED tURNER eats a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup "I don't remember how since I cancelled them too." There's no wrong way to eat a Reeses. How President Clinton eats a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup "I'll only eat them if they're in the middle of a Big Mac." There's no wrong way to eat a Reeses. How the Jake Clawson eats a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup "Me, eat those things?! I don't wanna get sick." There's no wrong way to eat a Reeses. How Vice- President Al Snore eats a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup "Wha..? Oh. They make great ear plugs" There's no wrong way to eat a Reeses. Ok, enough jokes, because I can't think of any more. Episode of the Month Okay, I did a lot of SK viewing last night, so I could pick the episode of the month. And the episode of the month is (drumrolling in the background) "Destructive Nature" I like this one beacause it's so darn funny, in a way. And because it has a major part for Razor (yours truly). A lot of action, and stuff in this one. I already like this one, even though I don't have it on tape. Fan Fiction of the Month My favorite Fan Fiction of the month is (more drumrolling...) The "Unlikely Couple"Series by Jason Miller I really like this series is beacause I like how it is written. He did a very good job with this, and it has my "2 thums up". I spelled that on purpose. SK Site of the Month (Drumrolling...) The SWAT Kats Fan Club Of course, I would pick my site first. And yes, I'll pick your site next month.

Yes, I did go to the computer store today, mainly to drool, and I'll hopefully have something running by Sunday. I am a president of a SWAT Kat Club, specifically on Prodigy. If you're on it, jump TV BB, subject CARTOONS, and click on any topic starting with "SKC." ABOUT NETNAMES: I thought I should bring it up. I mentioned it in a sense more regarding my fanfic archive in a previous note about a month back or so, but I'll do it again. SWAT Kat NAMES AS NICKNAMES = BAD I guess I sound like a hypocrite, but Dr. Jake Clawson (which *does* have the doctor in front of it) is only the formal, full name -- most of you know me as "DJ" and that's the name my actual net address implies. Unless we're within a small group of people (such as my BB club) where each person is choosing a name of a show character for the theme of the club, it's a tad annoying to just give yourself the exact name of a character from the show. You have to CHANGE IT A LITTLE BIT, GIVE IT CHARACTER, ETC. If everyone just took the name of their favorite character, there'd be twenty "Razor"s on my fanfiction archive and everything would get confusing. So seeing... President - Jake Clawson Vice President - Chance Furlong ...is rather annoying to me. I mean no offense to the people with those names, only am I offering advice.

I wasn't sure if it was still there, but it's nice to know that it is. Just so there's no confusion: 'razor@maxie.com' is still me, even though you'd get the name "Razor" if you tried to finger the email address. *That* was deliberately set because I'd been playing Razor on a couple of internet MUCKs (FurryMUCK and FurToonia), and that was how I met the sysadmin of maxie.com (ergo, that's how he set my account up on there. ;-) BTW, for anyone interested, I've built Megakat City (most of it, anyway! ;-) on FurToonia. Telnet to ft.tyger.org, port 9999 and take a look around. If you have any comments on the building, or want to add to what I've built on Megakat City, let me know! (There aren't any counterparts to Megakat City on FurryMUCK that I know of that are publicly accessible, however; this is partly because of the building quota and also because of the occasional tremendous amount of lag on there.) BTW2, I've moved the screen grabs to maxie.com. For now, you can access the page at http://maxie.com/~razor/katpix.html. I'll be moving the SK mailing list info exclusively to maxie.com shortly too, but for now you can access it at *either* rat.org or maxie.com (http://rat.org/razor/sklist.html or http://maxie.com/~razor/sklist.html).

Factors I listed in my amateurish = wandering state of mind: - - rate of blood flow (different for frogs, T-Bone, Viper) - - mutagen reaction rate - - absorption rate of mutagen through integument (when Viper pours it on = his head) I shouldn't mention problems with conservation of matter. Most of the = mutants appeared considerably larger than their normal counterparts.... = If their density decreased, they'd hardly make formidable opponents. = I'd push over the froggy dude like a hollow chunk of Styrofoam(TM). And = Viper would have a hard time holding those heavy pressurized canisters. Anyway, just got me curious.

I took the liberty of sending the original post to him, and this is his reply.) - -------------------- Body-wide mutations, if they can be induced, would take weeks to develop. There is no way that we can artificially increase the rate of cell production (although we are trying, in the efforts to effect healing and limb regeneration). I say "if they can be induced," because there is no way to induce an instant mutation at the genetic level, save for massive doses of ionizing radiation. Even then, the mutations do not show up in the victim; they appear in the offspring. Even if you could induce a rapid mutation, it probably wouldn't survive. DNA is constantly mutating, and the body is aware of this. There are countless mechanisms in your body for recognizing and either repairing or destroying DNA that isn't coded properly. That's the facts.

That would explain the radical changes in climate that the city seems to undergo (sweltery summer in "When Strikes Mutilor" as opposed to winter in "Cold War"), as well as how... convenient the natural land formations are.

You can argue until you're blue in the face that "Megakat City resembles this city, or that city, etc." Typically, if I'm not mistaken, cartoon cities are created as composites of all different cities (those of you on the Disney TV Animation mailing list, for example, may remember some extensive discussion on where "Goof Troop"'s Spoonerville was).

Sunlight is a mixture of colors, from red through violet. Each color has its own wavelength, red and orange having the longest wavelengths, blue and violet the shortest. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, it runs into air molecules, dust particles and whatever else happens to be in the air. These particles deflect, or "scatter," the different wavelengths of light. Blue and violet get scattered more, so when you look up at the sky, blue light reaches you from all directions... and voila, a blue sky! Why not violet? From what I've heard it's because our eyes are more receptive to blue than to violet. Green would get moderate scattering, but perhaps kats are more receptive to green than other colors (assuming, of course, that they aren't color blind). What about the yellow sky? When the sun is low in the sky (like sunset), light has to pass through more of the atmosphere. By the time it gets to your eyes the blue wavelengths have been scattered out, so only red and yellow reach your eyes. Sometimes green will reach your eyes too, resulting in the "green flash" phenomenon that you might see at sunset. If kats *are* more receptive to green, then they might see more than just the green flash. How much scattering you get depends on how many, and how large, particles you have in the air. That's why you can get some really nice sunsets from volcanic eruptions, such as Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines. Realistically, though, I think the sky in Megakat City is the color it is because the animators just thought it was a cool color, and everything else stands out better against that color. As a background, blue would be good for bright colors, but green seems to be better for dark colors. One technique used in animation (not sure how much they use it in SK, though) is changing everything (background, objects) to a reddish hue during times of physical conflict, or during intense, climactic scenes. - ----------------------------------- Dana Uehara (razor@maxie.com) http://rat.org/razor/index.html ------------------------------ From: Justin Bennett (by way of Razor ) Date: Wed, 20 Aug 1997 00:45:14 -0700 Subject: Re: On similarity, and another furball At 11:56 PM 8/19/97 -0700, you wrote: >> Jake Clawson wrote: Kats, In my opinion, I think MegaKat City is a >>replica of Jacksonville, Florida almost. > >Megakat State Beach looks a *lot* like Malibu, CA (particularly along the >Pacific Coast Highway).

The sky never changed from a reddish/sunset sorta colour. No doubt, it was to reflect the change at CBS to the TMNT being in the "Action Zone", as opposed to just, um, regular cartoons, I guess.

(I'm getting it, I promise. It belongs to a college in California). ________________ Cartoon Laws of Physics LAW 1: "Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation." Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 9.8 m/s^2 (32 feet per second per second) takes over. LAW 2: "Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter intervenes suddenly." Whether shot from a cannon, or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an oversized boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion "the stooge's surcease." LAW 3: "Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter." Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the specialty of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of the reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction. LAW 4: "The time required for an object to fall 20 stories is greater than or equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral down 20 flights to attempt to capture it unbroken." Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to capture it inevitably unsuccessful. LAW 5: "All principles of gravity are negated by fear." Psychic forces are sufficient in most cases for a shock to propel them directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an adversary's signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to the cradle of a chandelier, a treetop, or a crest of a f lagpole. The feet of the character who is running or the wheels of a speeding auto need never touch the ground, especially in flight. LAW 6: "As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once." This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A "Wacky" c haracter has the option of self-replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required. LAW 7: "Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot." This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has baffled generations, but at least it is known that whoever paints an entrance on a wall's surface to trick an opponent will be unable to pursue him into this theoretical space. The painter is flattened against the wal l when they attempt to follow into the painting. This is ultimately a problem of art, not of science. LAW 8: "Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent." Cartoon cats posses even more deaths that the traditional nine lives might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed, accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self-pit y, they reinflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify. COROLLARY: A cat will assume the shape of its container. LAW 9: Everything falls faster than an anvil. LAW 10: "For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance." This is the one law of animation cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching it happen to a duck instead.

I had this brought home today at work, in that I can easily lift 150 lbs, yet trying to lift a 150 lb artillery projectile that's coated with grease was a PITA.

Okay. Why don't we have a confurence in every continent? It could work... We could centralize it to the center of each continent, or something else. SWATFest sounds good, and so does MegaKon.

If we did a convention, chances are we would do it in a hotel (like a Holidy Inn) with a conference center. We *do* have to put everyone up in somewhere to stay, after all. I was thinking New York City, or maybe in a 30-minute radius, because it has 3 major airports (La Guardia, Newark, and JFK) nearby and a lot of hotels. That or Orlando, where they're *very* accostomed to conventions, especially of the sci-fi/fantasy nature. I went to a seaQuest convention there, and despite the fact we were only 65 people, they were very accomadating and accostomed to see us walking around in seaQuest uniforms and the like. ------------------------------ From: djclawson@garden.net (DJ Clawson) Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 08:43:01 -0700 Subject: Re: confurence -- name Zax wrote" >But what do we call it? > >MegaKon? > >SwatFest? > >Radical Con? > >We-Need-More-Chopper-Backup Con? Hehe. How about Katcon'98 (or whatever year...)? I've actually put a lot of thought into this. I went to a seaQuest convention, and it was QuestieCon'96. If we all chipped in for the expenses, I bet we could talk some ex-kat creators into going, like Lance Falk and maybe Glenn Leopold. I'd handle Davis Doi, but I doubt he would go -- Turner refuses to even let him read the fanfiction I sent him, because of legal reasons. He's now the president of H-B, BTW. The Tremblays might be in Canada right now, but they might be rather impressed with the whole idea of the convention that they wouldn't be able to miss it for the world. I bet a lot of the voice actors are used to the convention circuit, being most of them are famous animation actors (it also means they might be harder to get, unless they *really* liked SWAT Kats). ------------------------------ From: djclawson@garden.net (DJ Clawson) Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 08:47:16 -0700 Subject: Re: confurence -- getting in At 12:20 PM 8/22/97 +0200, David Viktora wrote: >>>> Jake Clawson wrote: Wouldn't it be great if we had a SK convention?

Well, David, that is a factor. However, we do have to make this realistic to the most amount of people possible, and we have to understand that it's just impossible to accomodate everybody -- that's the way conventions work. Now everyone can get down there. There were people from Britian and Canada at the seaQuest convention, but that's about as far as it went. A lot of people probably wouldn't be able to go because of age -- it's very hard to convince parents to fly them down to a convention on a cartoon show (trust me -- I tried something like it many years ago).

Do you really think we'd have enough people to justify having a convention? Granted, we've got quite a bit of people on the list, some more vocal than others. But at the same time how many katfans aren't on the list, or don't have internet access? My guess is not very many... or those who are, would be minors (i.e., under 18). ConFurence is considered a "small" con, if I'm not mistaken; yet it has around 300-400 attendees. I suspect that at best, Katcon would have about 20-30 attendees, if it's lucky. In principle, "Katcon" might be a lot of fun. In reality? I wouldn't expect it to be more than an informal katfan gathering. - ----------------------------------- Dana Uehara (razor@maxie.com) http://rat.org/razor/index.html ------------------------------ From: Ryioko@aol.com Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 16:14:38 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: confurence There's going to be a Quantum Leap convention in the Ramada Inn at Newark Airport.

Still, I think wanting to plunge into a major kat-convention is rather fanboy-ish. It'd make a lot more sense to start small and build up as definite interest in the series goes. For now, I think a "Katcon" should be nothing more than an informal gathering of katfans, maybe at someone's place or perhaps a vacant classroom at a university. Katcon could expand as public interest in the series grows. As far as Turner Entertainment and Hanna-Barbera are concerned, the Kats are dead. Face it -- we haven't seen new episodes in at *least* two years, and it's very unlikely the series will be revived per se. However, we *may* see something similar to the Kats coming out, *if* there's enough public interest. But that's a *very* big "if". I'd like to see more adventures of T-Bone and Razor myself (if I didn't, I wouldn't be running this list!), but other than the fanfic, my hope for the series is slim. (It's really too bad a lot of the really vocal katfans weren't around two years ago, when there was a far better chance of saving the series!) BTW, speaking of fanfic, some of my own fanfic is (or should be, shortly!) on DJ's site. (DJ, I'll be sending you an updated version of my fanfic as soon as I can, but it may not be right away since I'll be somewhat busy this weekend.) - ----------------------------------- Dana Uehara (razor@maxie.com) http://rat.org/razor/index.html ------------------------------ From: ypawtows@pop.halcyon.com (Yvonne Pawtowski) Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 15:15:15 -0700 Subject: Re: confurence -- name At 08:43 AM 8/22/97 -0700, DJ Clawson wrote: > > Hehe. > How about Katcon'98 (or whatever year...)?

I say we could get 60, through the list, outside references, my site (1000 hits per month isn't so bad), and Strike's sites.

I even admonished at least one person about doing this (you know who you are). Please, people, do NOT post or "group-reply" (reply to poster AND list) *unless* your message or reply is suitable (read: relevant) enough for the list! The quickest way to ensure that personal replies *remain* personal is for me to re-moderate the list. The *only* reason I have not done so is because I've discovered that re-moderation would throw ALL postings to the list into a black hole (I know, because I tried it). Given the choice between a dead list and one that has discussion that I can at least monitor, I choose the latter *for now*. I have asked maxie.com's sysadmin for help, and am awaiting a response. I unmoderated the list some time ago because list traffic was slow enough that moderation seemed unnecessary. Now that things have picked up, I'm going to re-moderate the list as soon as I can get that problem fixed. (BTW, anyone who thinks *this* is bad should consider what happened when the list was on mv.net. It was set so that replies would go back to the list, which I disliked *because* it was too damn easy to post a personal reply to the list. This is why, by default, a "reply" goes back to the original poster, and also why I will not change this. Replies to *digests* go back to the list, because otherwise replying to a digest would go to owner-kats, aka me.) Evidently I need to crack down on people who insist on posting personal replies to the list. Until I can get moderation set up, I will begin to warn people individually *every time* I see a message that is better sent in email. Since this is a judgment call on my part, some replies (especially borderline on-topic/personal ones) may not receive any comment. Don't let any of this scare you from posting. As long as your posting is about the SWAT Kats ("Katcon", for example, was relevant, for the most part), it's fine. If it isn't, you'll hear from me. If you're not sure, remember you can *always* ask me first. As hard-nosed as I may seem, I don't bite unless provoked. BTW, on this and ANY other katmin message I post, if you have a comment about it, please email ME. Do NOT post to the list, or you may be one of the first recipients of my warnings! OK, time to get off both the soapbox and litterbox and return you to your regularly scheduled listmail. ----------------------------------- Dana Uehara (razor@maxie.com) http://rat.org/razor/index.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: meteorology part 2 Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 09:48:40 -0700 From: "Jonathan Higa" Reply-To: To: "SWAT Kats List" I've always been confused by the use of the term "scattering" in atmospheric science: after all, in one context one says that the sky is blue because more blue is "scattered"; on the other hand, one says that the sky is red because the blue is "scattered out"! So, does scattering mean more or less? To clear up my addled brain, I consulted a friend's physics textbook. The term "scattering" is apparently physics jargon which refers to *transmitted* refracted light (i.e., the first interpretation above is the technical one). In fact, the amount of light transmitted through the atmosphere is proportional to the fourth power of the light's frequency. This has a natural analogy: Imagine being on one bank of a turbulent river, and you have to reach the other side. Are you more likely to get through if you move faster or slower? Clearly, faster. Higher frequencies of light have more energy and more momentum than lower frequencies, so they permeate more. It's not as much that there isn't any red light getting through the sky -- it is. But there's much more blue light. The overall color you see is the weighted average of all the visible frequencies with respect to this fourth-power rule. Okay, so my brain is happy now with the daytime sky color. Now another (rhetorical) question that comes to my simplistic mind is, how come the sky starts out blue, but at sunset it runs from red to violet in rainbow order? The explanation usually given is that the other colors get "scattered" out through more of the atmosphere, but you see that this doesn't quite work -- as the sun sets, light passes through *more* and *more* of the atmosphere, so the color trend should be one direction at most -- not blue to red to violet! In the evening sky, a different principle applies. Time for another analogy. Suppose you're in a blue room and someone shines a red light into your eyes. What color do you see? Red. This is what happens: According to Snell's law, when the sun reaches a certain level near the horizon, the solar spectrum is refracted (bent) *directly* to you. Higher frequencies of light (the blue end) are refracted less -- so at the beginning of the sunset you see red (which is bent toward you), and at the end you see violet (the other colors are sent below your horizon). It's like standing in a rainbow and having it pass over you. Now I'm much less confused... I hope I didn't confuse everybody else. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: KatCon '98 (fwd) Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 10:07:15 PDT From: "Klawz _" To: jakeclawson@hotmail.com, kats@maxie.com, djclawson@garden.net > Maybe this year, >during the third week of November, we could have the Kon.

So, if I've sent the mail to the wrong address, let me know. Anyway, here's my question: As a bit of an aerodynamics buff, I always wondered how on Earth the TurboKat managed to use the yellow inlets as VTOL exhausts. Wouldn't the use of them as thrusters toast them completely? (Or are all my perceptions of aerospace technology warped?) Also, I've seen the only other operational jump-jet, the Harrier, perform this straight-flight to VTOL operation before. It takes an unbelievably long time for this maneuver to be performed without stalling the aircraft. I wonder how the TurboKat manages the same maneuver in 2-3 secs. That's my little contribution. IF anyone out there has an idea how the TurboKat manages this, tell me; I'm rather curious as to how this feat was performed.

Huge forearms! I guess they drew it that way so his paws/hands wouldn't look too out-of-proportion, but....) Razor can lift and throw large sections of the Turbokat's wingflaps. ("Bride of the Pastmaster.") He can also shatter the thick glass of the mummies' eyeplates. ("The Deadly Pyramid.") On the other paw, we know that T-Bone can easily lift up and carry Razor under his arm (see, "Cry Turmoil!") He can also kick very hard. ;D T-Bone can also eaily carry Ann Gora ("The Ci-Kat-A") and Molly Metallikat, who is considerably heavier. ("Unlikely Alloys.") Granted, he used his jetpack to fly them down and up, respectively, but he has to be pretty strong to keep a good one-armed grip on them to keep them from falling. (Especially Molly - fighting gravity by going up - as well as fighting at the same time!) Then again, in the same episode, we see Razor carrying Dr. Greenbox. And they can both snap stalactites off at their base with a single chop. ;) ("Caverns of Horror.") << And speaking of "DarkSide..." take a good look on the red shoulder patches on T-Bone and Razor's flightsuits.

Christian Berger told me the movies he's planning for the SK CD-ROM will be in AVI format. Also, another argument for Megakat City being a composite of several cities: Alkatraz Island, which is clearly based on Alcatraz Island near San Francisco (Pier 41/Fisherman's Wharf). Alcatraz is now a part of the National Park System, however; and from some listmail archives, it was never a women's prison. OK, so Alkatraz wasn't exactly like Alcatraz. But if you look at the way the island was drawn, and its location, it's not much of a stretch to say that Alkatraz was based on Alcatraz. BTW, I'd like everyone to take a look at the updated SK mailing list information web page, at http://maxie.com/~razor/sklist.html. Let me know if you've got any questions.

According to announcements made at the studio, the remaining staff of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons will be relocating from their home of 35 years, the Hanna-Barbera building on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood, to join the offices of Warner Bros. Classics and Television Animation in Sherman Oaks. Designed by architect Arthur Froehlich, Hanna-Barbera Studios' futuristic "Jetsons"-style building has become a landmark to the animation industry since it was erected in 1962, five years after William Hanna and Joe Barbera founded the company to produce television animation. News of the pending move, scheduled to take place by December, comes amidst industry rumors that the Hanna-Barbera building and lot has been sold to Universal. Universal, who declined comment at the time of this report, does have its' own animation production unit, Universal Cartoon Studios, based in the Universal City lot, about a mile away from Hanna-Barbera. It is uncertain at this time what will become of the building. Hanna-Barbera is currently in production on "Cow and Chicken," "Dexter's Laboratory," "Johnny Bravo" and a series of shorts for Cartoon Network. --COURTESY Animation World Network Ed Rudnicki erudnick@pica.army.mil Oculi numquam claudunt El Sarroso ----------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Marathon Date: Sat, 30 Aug 1997 13:00:29 PDT From: "Jake Clawson" To: kats@maxie.com Okay.
