Dead on Fordman, it is the Conjunction Junction guy and Bill, some day they will make their way to the front of cocktail cab.  Older people recognize them quickly, I always liked how the colors and lack of detail for them (along with Sherman and Mr. Peabody) blend in well with arcade art.  Bill was around in one form or another before Old School, in the rental house basement he was on a wall near the 2600 cabinet (pic attached).  Our landlord had to be puzzled by our basement, Schoolhouse Rock on the wall behind a horrid sheetrock cabinet.

Heh, my cottage (rental) was comprised of off-white cinderblock that i got so sick of. So the last four years I lived there, I painted random colored paint "splotches" all over the cinder walls. Took me over three hours and three coats of color matched paint to get rid of it so I could get my deposit back... and that jerk still found something to gripe about.

Never thought of doing actual characters.

z:
Did the drawing with chalk, when it was time to move we just brushed it off the walls.

This thread is getting me motivated to put Bill and the engineer on the wide wall of the cocktail cabinet.  Now I'm wondering whether to paint them on or make them with a few layers of colored foam board so they are a little 3Dish.

Expressline99:
ooooo 3Dish! But could you protect the foam board from being scraped, kicked or bumped?

z:
Foam cut outs of cartoon characters, why would a kid be tempted to grab at that?  ;)  My friends and I would avoid them but with kids around I think I'd have to make them out of something more solid than foam.  I may try a few test pieces out of foam and then if they look good do them with layers of 1/4" plywood so they are more solid.
