Title: Zonk reincarnated?
Post by: glazball on May 20, 2012, 08:09:33 AM
  I've been playing a silly game with my 7 year old stepson on the PS3 called Cartoon Network Punchtime Explosion XL.  It's basically Super Smash Bros. with Cartoon Network characters and horrible controls but still kind of fun.  There's a character from Kids Next Door (who was new to me) named Numbuh One who looks amazingly like a Duo mascot we all know!  Seems a little close to be coincidence.  Anyone else think this is a little bit eerie?

Numbuh One vs. Air Zonk!

I wish I could see it. I would like to see a Zonk show in the Cartoon Network though.

  C'mon...  the shades, the short stature, the one finger up, the oversized feet??  Nothing??  Bah!  Well he looks so much like Zonk to me it's been bugging me all weekend.  Maybe I'm just old or jaded or more likely, both.

The poses in the two images are very similar, but the characters not so much.

if you squint really hard, there's a slight resemblance. but not much.

Yeah, it's like R-9 and Vic Viper are almost the same air/space crafts.
