Whatcha Watchin'?

Great pick! During our holiday movie marathon a few years back, this was my entry and I was both thrilled to share and mortified by the damper it put on the whole party. :sob: No regrets.

Iā€™m a little late to this, but for the past few decades Iā€™ve hosted a yearly watch party featuring the 1970 version of Scrooge - starring Albert Finney, Alec Guinness, Edith Evans, Suzanne Neve, Kenneth More, and many other heavy hitters from stage and screen.

One of my favorite musicals of all time.

So, Iā€™ve just starting watching Fallout.
45 mins in episode one, so far, so good.
But, who the fuck is this little guy? -

I know Iā€™ve seen it before on maybe some webtoon or otherā€¦

ETA: Itā€™s so strikingly familiar, I am kicking myself for not recognising it.
Canā€™t be XKCD.
Could it be SMBC?

Vault Boy! He is the mascot of Vault-Tec in the Fallout universe, and has appeared all over the interwebs. TIL that he was partly based on the Monopoly man.

Wow!
Iā€™ve seen him for ages.
Most likely the toon Iā€™m thinking of referenced this, rather than vice-versa.

But thanks.

They did such an excellent job capturing the style of a 50s style character, I remember the very first time I had seen him I wondered where I recognized him from. :slight_smile:

We have tickets to see Flow on Sunday!

Also, if you havenā€™t seen Wild Robot, you should. It was both gorgeous and engaging. Had some tears
