You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

Scooby-Doo, When Do You Celebrate Your 50th Anniversary?

50 years ago, this fall, Scooby-Doo Where Are You! debuted on CBS, on September 13, 1969—and spooky old houses, seemingly supernatural doings, villains in disguise, and meddling kids and their munchie-chomping mutts have never been the same. This silly-but scary animated TV series is among the most popular ever created. It's of course entirely fitting we salute Scooby on his 50th during our Countdown to Halloween 2019, for the cowardly Great Dane and his pals have confronted any number of ghouls and ghastly specters during their first five decades. Plenty of merchandise has paid tribute to the Scoobster, including this rare 1969 coloring book. Happy anniversary to this Hanna-Barbara headliner and may he be haunted by baddies for another 50 years.
