Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Hank The Ranger
“We are going to do something about it!” The undisputed leader of our friends that are lost in the Realm, Hank the Ranger guides his friends with care and wisdom beyond his years. Hank uses his brains and his brawn to determine how the gang can get out of trouble. He isn’t afraid to takeContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Hank The Ranger”
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Bobby The Barbarian And Uni
“Try picking on somebody my size!” Bobby was the youngest adventurer in the group of kids in the classic cartoon, Dungeons & Dragons. He was also the closest in age to me at the time. Headstrong, physically strong, and afraid of being seen as weak or immature, Bobby would often rush into battle with littleContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Bobby The Barbarian And Uni”
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Diana The Acrobat
“You take two, I’ll take eighteen.” Quite possibly the bravest member of our group of friends in the Realm, Diana the Acrobat is always ready for a fight and willing to do anything to protect herself and her friends from danger. She wields her magic staff with fierce determination and is often called upon toContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Diana The Acrobat”
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Venger & Dungeon Master
“You shall see who has the greater power.” As I continue revisiting my youth, I’ve collected all of the Dungeons And Dragons Cartoon Classics figures. The last figures that I picked up were Venger and Dungeon Master, who come in a two figure set. Even though they are the last figures that I’ve acquired inContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Venger & Dungeon Master”
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Presto The Magician
“My hocus-pocus is out of focus!” If anyone on the classic Dungeons & Dragons cartoon was the perfect embodiment of low self-esteem, high intelligence, and a heaping dose of awkwardness, it was Presto the Magician. Presto was a typical 1980s nerd and most viewers of the cartoon likely identified with him. I did somewhat, butContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Presto The Magician”
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Eric The Cavalier
“You’re crazy!” Always ready with a sarcastic suggestion or a cowardly comment, Eric The Cavalier was one of the funniest characters on the classic Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. He was also the group’s realist. As much as I longed to be as cool and brave as Hank, I identified most with Eric. Despite his somewhatContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Eric The Cavalier”
Year In Review 2023!
Stats, Changes, And What To Expect In 2024! 2023 was a time of change for Ken’s Alternate Universe. I monetized the blog to generate a little bit of income (Thirty-four cents in seven months, I’m on fire!) and was on track to have the most posts ever in a year. Then I hit a brickContinue reading “Year In Review 2023!”
Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Sheila The Thief
“We’re trapped in another world!” Being a kid in rural Louisiana with hardly any friends to play with in the 1980s meant that my only exposure to Dungeons & Dragons was the classic cartoon that ran for three season from 1983 to 1985. I loved the series. I didn’t even know at the time thatContinue reading “Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon Classics: Sheila The Thief”
Genie (2023)
“I wish that you did….“ Swooping into the holiday season with little more than a puff of magical smoke, 2023’s Genie has been available on the Peacock streaming service since the end of November. Sadly, there hasn’t been much talk about this light family comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Paapa Essiedu. It seems to haveContinue reading “Genie (2023)”
