I know this image had a history (and perhaps an author before), but with the way the internet now goes viral, I can't seem to find it.

I did however manage to find one of the most heavily quoted articles when it comes to the image above.

[engadget.]

Whoa! Just as I was about to give up, I find this:

"Useless Trivia: That picture was actually the box cover for the DinoRiders toys from the early '90s. The toys were frickin' cool and generally well scaled. The brontosaurus was about 3.5 feet long and the tiny little human figures were only about 1.5 inches high -- EPIC!"

-- look here, and HERE

additionally, I came across this scenario:

dinos + cowboys (I equate wielders of guns, even lasers, as 'cowboys'; sue me)

finally, the above could also make more sense when coupled with the below:

どーもくん (Domo-kun)



for some reason, the internet community really likes to bundle together toys of Domo-kun,
Wall-E, and Dan-Bo, and then snapshot their interactions. It's not always pretty.

On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space with the
launch of the “Freedom 7” capsule at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

“Please, dear God, don’t let me f—- up,” is known among aviators as
Shepard’s Prayer — although Shepard himself has said that he was misquoted,
and all he really said was, “Don’t f—k up, Shepard.”

zombies (in case you haven't noticed the possible discrepancy, I also equate disembodied (sometimes glowing) skeletons as "zombies"; it's the old-timer in me.)

Future thoughts: hopeful for returns (extended wordplay way of expressing a 'thanks').
inner thoughts are always in bubbles, text bubbles: (though, I thought you might have been able to sneak in a link/embed to "Monster Mash", or even the more apropos "Astro Zombies", but what's nodworthy is still good.)


And appreciative, I am, towards you, for posting an "all-encompassing-type" image, as I've come across quite a few of those in the past few days; example:

spacemen + (extraterrestrials; companions stick together) + zombies + (guy in disembodied skeleton costumes which I still equate and classify as 'zombies') + dinos + (ghosts) + robots + (Flying Nuns) + (Historical Figures) + (ents) + (Old codgers)

The Madness of Mission 6 by Travis Pitts

“A Russian spacecraft broke down in orbit and all contact was lost… An astronaut was sent to find out what happen and found nothing inside the ship but would see the ghosts of the lost cosmonauts. Believing them to be horrifying hallucinations he would pop pills to keep the visions away from him…”

The True Account   click to show 

In 1976, Cosmonaut Nikolai Peckmann was sent alone to an orbiting space station for what would be called Mission Six- to study the radiation levels and strange circumstances that killed all four crewmen of the last research mission.
By the third day, Peckmann's broken transmissions were coming back to ground control filled with increasing paranoia and delusion. He claimed that the spirits of the dead cosmonauts were coming to claim him, and that he had to keep moving to evade them. He shouted that if he could capture consume these spirits himself while he still had strength, he could move to the next level of consciousness...Truly the rantings of an insane man.
Indeed, video recovered later would show Peckmann running around the confined but maze-like station, downing emergency sedatives like a madman....pausing in a corner momentarily, only to throw back vitamin pills and give chase to his invisible demons.
He had exhausted the entire cargo of vitamins, pills, and fresh fruit well ahead of schedule. There was no way another crew could be assembled to rescue him before he starved. After one rather violently garbled transmission, the static cleared and the last live image on record is that of Peckmann's empty, wilted spacesuit on the cabin floor.
It was determined that another mission to recover any remains or gather any more research would be a waste of the people's money, and the station was allowed to drift out of orbit and into space- a failure never to be mentioned again. It was ordered and assumed that all video and paper evidence had been destroyed.


..then, at the dawn of the eighties, a fledgling arcade game company called NAMCO would stumble across the transcripts of these events, and the rest -as they say- is history.

Futuristic MUNNY designed by Marcus Tremonto

translated: Kid Robot cooperated with Lightbotz, resulting in an
amazing toy appeared MUNNY, embellished by the artist and
lighting designer Marcus Tremonto. He integrated it in an unusual
way - using lighting effects. Marcus took his inspiration among
vintage toys, science fiction movies and video games. Each toy is
packaged in a unique box that lends itself to be a double pleasure for collectors.
