That's Winky Dink. He was the first interactive TV cartoon back when that meant drawing on the screen (with the special Winky Dink kit...or permanent markers).

Bill Griffith can crank out some good stories (that is... when he's not veering dangerously close to being the underground comix version of Guy Gilchrist.) On that note you might want to check out his latest book... Invisible Ink: My Mother's Secret Love Affair With A Famous Cartoonist.

You know, this could be alright, or at least not dreadful, if there was the tiniest element of suspense or conflict. Like, make a week's arc out of how they're desperately trying to avoid spoilers through ever more absurd measures, that would at least be extremely relatable to the target audience. Instead it's literally just THESE GUYS ARE GOING TO SEE STAR WARS.

I assume it's a colorist fuckup because the art in this strip is usually solid and good, but what the gently caress is up with Hil's foot? Am I just seeing it wrong? It's upsetting to look at.

And this strip would have been a good payoff to that!

It doesn't even really happen "at the end".
