ביקור בתל לוז הקדום אשר בבית אל המודרנית...

כנאמר בספר יהושע (שכידוע, אינו היסטורי וכפי הנראה נכתב בימי שיבת ציון), פרק ט"ז, פסוק ב': "ויצא מבית אל לוזה" - מסתבר כי היישוב "לוז" ובית-אל המקראית אינם אחד; אלא שני ישובים סמוכים אשר משום מה זוהו כשמות שונים לאותו המקום. בית אל הקדומה כנראה שכנה בתל אשר היום מכונה בערבית "ביתין".

A Proposal for DBS Manga Volume 12's Extra Story





An idea I had very late at night yesterday for the 2 Extra Pages that Toyotaro drops on us every once in a while in his Dragon Ball Super Manga volumes:

**Based upon an Idea by Toshio Yoshitaka who shared it on his twitter account on May 25th, 2017 [twitter.com/toshio916/status/8…] **

It's 15 minutes into the Tournament of Power (remember how badly they hyped us about this Arc 3 years ago?), a spaceship containing a faction of inter-galactic thieves (20 Foot Soldiers and a leader, named Yuqashi - ALL reptilian to the bone who can easily fuse into one giant being) enters the Earth and lands on East City, their goal is to steal the massive ammount of Blue Aurum from a mine there. Upon sensing the danger, and knowing they're Earth's last hope, Yamcha and Chiaotzu go to confront those crooks and save the Earth.

Yuqashi's name is a pun of Cashew nuts + Yoshi from Super Mario, who's also a reptile.

Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 56 is FINALLY HERE!

Been waiting all week for that to finally leak/drop... Took these 2 leaked pages, published by a French fan who got them from 2 different angles, and "cooked" them up to sit as if they were one and the same. Yamcha and Chiaotzu are finally doing some fighting, that how Resurrection 'F' should have been done, 5/6 years ago (productions for the movie began in 2014, the lame repeating anime retelling was done the following year):

Vice Versa, Coolsville's City Council Lawyer



A character I've created for my "Coolsville" series. Sly, thin yet tall, and dresses like we are still in the 1950s.

Naming and Mapping the citizens of Coolsville and it's surroundings in all shows prior to A Pup Named Scooby-Doo by Niv Lugassi 2020


I've decided to update this not-so-old catalog piece by adding all the characters from the Pre-1988 material (in that year "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" coined Coolsville as the name of Mystery Inc.'s hometown). This now has all the relevant characters from the Western/Gold Key, Charlton, and Marvel Comics' 1970s and 1980s lines, and the 1970s Hanna-Barbera educational shorts.
