Ah yes, good ol’ Panthro. Always so tough and masc and just plain cool. Did you know that he was voiced by the guy that played Grandpa Huxtable on the Cosby Show? Weird huh? Well, enjoy my sultry version of this classic stud below:
Oh look, an big ugly block of text! I've been drawing all my life. I can't remember when I started but it was early. I've always been intrigued and inspired by animation and comics. My earliest influences were Charles Shultz's Peanuts and later, X-Men comic books. It didn't take very long for me to start drawing erotic images. Even before junior high, I was drawing nude Disney men in my sketchbooks.

Wow, Panthro is huge! Jar-Jar is another one, though in the worst stereotypical way. Great series, BTW.

Hmm…I never claimed Lex. Especially since when he did have hair it was straight.

lol, WOW on the Thundercats tidbit, but then again that guy was a trained shakespearean actor so I know he could play anything.
Love the pick of Panthro. You just couldn’t resist taking to the 80′s could you? lol
And on the Lex thing…I think he was based on somebody SOMEWHERE who was black. Its like that old Blackstar (or the Spiderwoman one) cartoon where the main character was supposed to be black but they made them white at the last minute.

Lex in the newest Superman Animated series is modeled after Telly Savalas who is of Greek ancestry and had darker skin than most white people. But yeah, most of us didn’t really pick this up and just assumed they made him black… or black-ish…
