The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Do any lbt characters remind you of...

Hmmm...well...Spike reminds me of a dog...

Ducky reminds me of my mom a little bit. Since my mom has a habit of speaking without contractions, i.e: Cannot instead of "can't"

And Little Foot reminds me of myself when I was younger. I use to sound a lot like him :)

Mr. Threehorn. He's as stubborn and mule-headed as my next-door neighbors

In fact Don Bluth wrote that Spike was to some degree designed after a dog he had known. Bluth wrote an article about this in the issue of his "Toon Talk" magazine which dealt with LBT in particular.

Interesting, I'd never have known.  I wonder if that is why he never speaks during the first movie.

I don't think Bluth was explicit about that point in his article. This weekend I'm moving to a new place and today I brought most of my LBT stuff there, including that Toontalk magazine in which the article is printed. Therefore I cannot check it out at the moment, but I will as soon as I can.

Ok getting off topic here:

Actually...what's ironic is that there is already a character Spike in the Rugrats, who is indeed a dog and doesn't talk obviously... :P: but he talks in one of the movies, it was a cross over between the Wild Thornberrys and the Rugrats. They are similar in some ways....

But yeah, nice observation and info Malte. :)

On-topic: Oh yeah...Mr. Three Horn reminds me of a few conservatives I know :p and Pterano reminds me of a cousin's dad who was immature and a liar :p I feel bad for my cousin because of this :p But Pterano does remind me of every single scared, insecure adult that's out there....

The joining of a great fan of Spike reminded me that I had promised to post that article about him from Don Bluth's Toon Talk magazine. However, as I think that this is a thread where it will easily get lost, I will post it in the character discussion section in the thread about Spike.
