actually purchased a copy from Rich many moons ago when i Met him,at BIG APPLE CON in NEW York,
been on the look out for a better copies.

Recognized me In my spunky knight outfit! He was running a booth full of EVERYTHING!!!!
Really Nice guy, Plaged with poor vision & wears an eyepatch on his worse eye.
the reason he lurkes now is that his PM and e-mail was alway over filled with requests and
questions ranging from when will you do a panel discussion on your work in the cartoon industry and what other muscle women materials do you have in your collection? so on etc…
I e-mail him from time to time, ask him things

Wow, Ashlee! You got to meet Rich in person? I’m jealous. That guy is a treasure trove of information from animation to comics from back in the day. I would love to have the chance to meet him and pick his brain some more. 🙂

Ok for starters There are two People, Dave and Rich
David was a film developer amd later a camera operator for Fleicher studios, went into the navy, where he was wouded ,went to various studios to work when he came home and fleicher was purchased by paramount.
Being for Florida he was always into the bodybuilding culture & strong women, since a boy.in to the late 60’s-early 70’s he met a young man working his way threw collage animating cartoons & Ghost Drawing comic books RICH,
They both Love working out and Muscle women and set out collecting anything and & everything strong a & muscle women,Rich finish collage and went into the medicel field, Dave stayed with Hanna/barbara until he had a fallout with them on several issues one being directing . He joined Ruby/Spears when they left and form there own animation studio R/S ,That did not last long whne they had a fallout over a script of plasticman which they change Penny getting muscular to her getting armoured????? and no credit for the script.
he then worked for a japanese/korean studio was contacted by H/B studios on giving them help on the smurfs the creator of the characters was threatening to pull the plug on the project, until H/B needed to shoot the cartoon to get the 3D effect Fliecher had with there cartoons, they contacted Dave about the camera.
Dave made a good mount of money from that ,Warner Brothers and the selling of his “shack” in florida to a land developer.
Purchace land in upstate N.Y. in the mid 60’s which was near Rich’s medical Practice , By the year 2000 Dave retired do to his poor eyesight, not wanting to sit in his house all day , he ask his good friend if he can do volunteer work Rich (who was suffering from congential eye problems himslef) Gave him a job answering the Phones.
Dave would used Rich’s IP for sites like Valkyrie and so forth.Dave passed away around 2005 in his 90’s
I believe
Rich Inherdited Dave film and fem muscle collection and added it to his own.

From what Rich told me Plastic man was a huge hit with the network ,the test audience, and the public.
hero Comedy with off the wall villains, which believe or not they copy from Blue Falcon which in itself was parody of Batman , Birdman & Bionic man.
Ruby/Spears already was given green lighted for the second season, Dan saw a chance to introduced
a bodybuilder/muscle woman hero sidekick,but they went in a different direction, Married?! with babyplas??! Dan told them your assholes its going to suck,They told him its for kids , Yes Your right and your Idea suck!!!He left.second season BOMBED big time!
he’s the one responable for muscle women in Birdman
and again in Jana of the jungle (it was the same footage & script from birdman)He show Alex Toth
pics of Pudge Stockton and Regina on how they should look.

Yeah, I remember that episode of Plasticman. The villain, Mr. Meteor I believe, found a fragment that gave him huge muscles. When Penny grabbed the fragment from him, she grew but became an armored woman for some odd reason instead of becoming muscular which made no sense. Of course, now it makes total sense regarding what happened.

Thanks, Ashlee. You’re a doll! 🙂
