Brian Bennett (@bennettscience) beat me to the punch this evening by posting a ds106zone The Twilight Zone trading card of Mr. Hollis from The Twilight Zone episode “It’s a Good Life.” While I had started working on GIFs from the episode a couple weeks back (originally thinking of doing a multi-panel GIF, either synchronized or sequenced), it was after I had initially posted my original static trading cards (and then GIFfed the Katatmit) that I decided to put this episode into Trading Cards, and completed my first two, that of Mr. & Mrs. Freemont, and the Mr. Hollis Jack-in-the-Box shadow (below).
This evening when Brian posted his Mr. Hollis head trading Card, I decided it was a good opportunity to complete a couple more and add mine to complement his.
Here, then, are four animated Character Trading Cards from the Season 3, Episode 8 entry, “It’s a Good Life.” I have posted static jpeg versions to the Flickr group for inclusion in the Gallery. (Animated GIFs can get easily borked when posted to Flickr.)
The Next Morning: In the end, after a good night’s sleep, I just couldn’t leave an animated Mr. Hollis Bobblehead unposted, and so here it is: |
Brilliant, I love this collection of cards, and I want the bubblegum to boot 🙂
Hey, Jim — I took a photo of some of the old The DS106Zone gum that you were interested in. Sorry I can’t actually share any with you for chewing purposes — but you might be able to source out some of your own when you are at a card or scifi convention at some point … 😉
Speaking of which — I have to get that John Carpenter-autographed Escape from New York poster to you at some point. Best to hand-deliver it some day, I think.
