Clutch Cargo & Race Bannon:

Brothers, Lovers or the Same Dude

If you haven't noticed by now I have a penchant for vintage cartoons, thats what the kids are calling old things now. Clutch debuted in 1959, which was sixty-six years ago, conversely Jonny Quest premiered in 1964, which is sixty-one years ago. If both men were about thirty-five at the time, they might be long dead or really old. One hundred one for Clutch and ninety-six for Race respectively.

A five year difference would be excellent for brothers, a good enough age that Race would look up to his older brother Clutch, but young enough not to get in his way too much, as he built the groundwork for what would later become his adventuring lifestyle. This is the ideal way to look at both fictional men, as siblings who just followed after each other. I am not sure what it was with the late fifties and mid-sixties that loved fit, whyte, thick eye-browed men who were prematurely greying, but they are a "type" to say the least.

It goes without saying both "brothers" are a little suspect in their relation to tender-aged children. Clutch was living on the edge, having a boy who couldn't be more than nine years old following him around the world, everywhere. I have said the same about Pete Darien, following his aunt Dr. Quinn Darien, on a boat with a fifty-foot lizard-dinosaur monster or kaiju if you please. All of these kids, Spinner, Jonny and Hadji are put in an unfathomable amount of danger, all the time and I haven't seen not one of them doing homework, ever. #CPS

I am not sure if I am not alone in wondering where all these free-wheeling children's parents are, at the least Jonny is with his dad, and his dad's lover. But Hadji and Spinner have more or less been seemingly given to these men who don't seem to have a single permanent address. #HumanTrafficking

Now are they gay? This is a good question, because contrary to the popular beliefs of the fifties and sixties gay and pedophile don't mean the same thing. Neither of them seem particularly predatory, so I would leave the pedo description out of equation. But gay is a strong possibility or homoromantic as some of the kids may prefer. I would be hard-pressed to not think Race is fucking Dr. Quest, they give me a little too much Bert and Ernie vibe and we already know those muppets are queer as fuck.

I like my final postulation, that their the same person. Clutch was getting Hollywood-old and needed to freshen up his image and all that syncro-vox ish was in the past, he needed to be fully animated now like any modern man. Changed his name, kept the tender-aged child, but doubled them, and got himself a man. Race was giving us that BDE - Big Dick Energy that Clutch just couldn't do traveling around with a clearly abducted little boy, who had obviously Stockholm syndrome, Paddlefoot was clearly just a ploy for grooming his vulnerable young self. Oh wait, I said I wasn't doing that, but damn, come on now, where were Spinner's parents?

Whatever their real situation I found both of them quite attractive, I have always favored a thick eyebrow, and premature gray is my love language. I would love to get a reunion with both of them recounting the old times and giving us the real tea on what was up with them traveling around with young boys. More importantly I would want to know how they made their money, Race could have been kept, but Clutch seemed to have unlimited funds to be traveling all around the world. Hook a brother up. #ijs

Clutch Cargo was a low budget cartoon from 1959. It was notorious for its use of Syncro-Vox, a cost-saving technique whereby the voice actors’ mouths were superimposed on the characters’ faces. While some consider it one of the worst TV shows ever, others see it as true classic.  Either way, it has been parodied well into the 21st century!

It has been awhile since I posted something here.

A month had passed since Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released to the world. Audience reactions ranged from bliss to boredom. But I can count on this ad to have a greater emotional response than any plot twist.

When I was at the theater, this ad played before the previews started. I soon tweeted that it had very Gillian Wearing vibe. The fact that the pets were shot in a static angle and that they had Annoying Orange style lips made it one of the most intense series of images I’ve seen. This is coming from someone that admires David Lynch’s filmography.

For computer generated animals, they move with unnatural contortions.

Clutch Cargo really needs to be a YTP source more often.
