Warthog Costume

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Umm, the cartoon figure, not the aircraft that took the name from it.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

It looks like the flap (collar?) on the back of a Navy Seamans uniform.

No, the front of the cartoon shows a cord that ties it on, and it is a different color, Red (when the comic was in color) than his green "uniform"

The modern flap on a sailors uniform is the same color, (navy blue/white) as it is attached.(unlike eariler versions that it was detachable and sometimes a different color)


Its funny, because I found some of the old comic cover pictures on e-bay, can't believe what they are selling that stuff for !!

That Wonder Wart-Hog has quite a snout on him; he looks like he's part gavial! From what I can see of the artwork, it reminds me of some of those early issues of MAD magazine, or those gruesome trading cards we had as kids.
