The Animation is now up online . Think i had the idea as long as 4 years ago when i just did a quick sketch of Joey Ramone and put him into a background from The Flintstones world I didnt really have any other song in mind than "Listen To My Heart" . Seemed to fit in very easily The original Flintsones series was one of the first things i can remember watching as a kid. Mainly for the opening and closing segments. Very simple and repetitive. But in a catchy good way. originally Fred was going to make an appearance at the beginning. But i just wanted something really simple so dumped Fred and put in his daughter Pebbles and her Boyfriend Bam Bam . They had a spin off show The Pebbles & Bam Bam Show whi...
Ramones Cartoon Sheena Is A Punk Rocker This is the 7th and proabably final Ramones cartoon.

The first animation was to the song Judy Is A Punk. which i rediscovered when i saw 'The Royal Tenenbaums' its a great track.
