The Comic Strip was a 1987 Rankin/Bass Productions Animated Series which ran for one season, 65 episodes in all. This was Rankin/Bass's last television series before it went into dormancy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The premise: four different cartoons (with different animation styles) were shown in rotation sequence, with two of the four appearing in roughly 12-minute slots per 30-minute episode. An animated variant of the live-action Wheel Program, essentially.The four cartoons were: Mini Monsters, which chronicled the adventures of two normal children at a summer camp also attended by the children of some of fiction's most famous monsters (including the children of Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolf Man); Karate Kat, about an anthropomorphic cat detective who fought crime using karate skills; Street Frogs, showing the escapades of a Five Frog Band of aspiring musicians and street dancers, most episodes covering their (doomed) efforts to raise money for the group; TigerSharks, showing a team of human/marine hybrids and their underwater adventures. Of the four, this was the only cartoon to be consistently shown in two-part episodes. This series had an animation style similar to the earlier-produced ThunderCats and SilverHawks that distinguished it from the other three shows in the line-up.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series as a whole shared many of the same cast and crew with the ThunderCats and SilverHawks series, being the second series to be made in the wake of ThunderCats's popularity, after SilverHawks.Not related to, or to be confused with The Comic Strip Presents.A clip of the show's intro can be seen here. | |

The Comic Strip / int_225d8ff9 | comment |
Ambiguously Human: The Tigersharks are ostensibly humans from Earth, but in their non-transformed forms, Lorca and Octavia have lavender and green skin respectively. Octavia's hair is also teal with streaks of light blue-silver and she has black lips. Most of the team also have pointed ears, even the ones who appear closest to baseline human. One has to wonder if alien DNA didn't enter the human genome at some point between the present day and the setting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

All for Nothing: Most Street Frogs episodes, as their comedic antics somehow always ruin their chances to make money. | |
