BRINK and BIMBO?!!!
Well it finally happened! We must be more successful than I could have ever imagined because we haven’t even been animated yet and we’ve already been ripped off! Yes it’s true. I was in Chinatown the other day looking for some Tiger Balm for Alan’s bad knees (don’t ask) and as I walked past a little nick nack shop I saw this little product here depicting 2 cartoons characters called BRINK and BIMBO! I mean they bear more than a striking resemblance to our beloved duo BRONK and BONGO wouldn’t you say? Well, okay, BONGO doesn’t have breasts, not since the operation anyway, thanks Dr.90210! But other than that you have to admit the resemblance is uncanny.
Clearly this is a sign that we are onto something big! The second your characters show up immortalized forever, horribly off model on a toilet cover that is made up of mostly toxic materials you know the world has opened it’s arms and embraced you! Nothing says “We love you!” more than stealing your likeness and making a cheap, off model, knock off and selling it at a low price undermining your overall value.
Sure they got a few things wrong, the breasts, the pants and vest, the spelling and what is that floating between them? A gun? Quality control doesn’t seem to be high on the list of priorities at BUTTCO toilet seats INC. But their hearts were in the right place.
I’m glad I only bought a case of them.
Bloggingly yours, Alan and Manny.

I have this seat! It’s one of my most prized posessions. I’m sorry to hear that this is not officially licensed Bronk and Bongo™ merchandise. Going to the bathroom won’t be as much fun now. …Is that too much information?

What an outrage!!! Buttco seats are crap!!! In no way are they ergonomic!!!

I heard that they are made from a recycled corn meal compound. Lousy toilet seats, but delicious with coffee.

I was hoping to get a few weeks of sales under my belt before Manny found out and blew my cover. Oh well, on to my next item — Wonk and Fungo Belgian-style ale. Keeps a long time, goes well with cheese. Free shipping! Order today.

Manny, you should of told the people that that is your cartoon!
On May 26th, 2006 at 12:00 am
I think admiting that a cartoon on a toilet seat reveals all too soon that it is going to be crap. Although, Brink and Bimbo does have a nice ring to it.

Manny, I have one thing to tell you. STOP BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF!! YOUR CARTOON IS GONNA BE GREAT!! .. anyways, if your never gonna start animation, you can always hire me to do it in flash :). I bet by now, sparkles and gloom has their pencil tests back from korea already.lol -Steve http://www.stephenstudios.com

Alan and I are painstakingly drawing every frame of this cartoon ourselves. Forget Korea, we don’t trust anyone else with this. That is why our air-date is 2025! Alan, hand me the red crayon will you?

Does anyone besides me remember a Disney character named Bongo Bear? He wore a red circus uniform and rode a unicycle.
On May 28th, 2006 at 12:00 am
Yes, I remember seeing his TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY. BONGO BEAR having spent his entire life living in the shadows of his more famous and powerful counterparts like Mickey, Donald, Pluto and striving for the attention a bear on a unicycle so rightly deserves. He eventually spiralled into a severe depression that lasted for years until he overdosed alongside of John Belushi, March 5,1982. Sadly even his death went unnoticed, relegated to the shadows of John’s.

I heard Flip the Frog went off the deep end like that after Ub Iwerks went back to work for Disney. Once a toon starts hittin’ the sauce in the morning, IT’S OVER.
