I've been working on a self-imposed project this summer; namely to bring you free printables based upon cartoon characters and series from the early 1980s. Many early 1980's cartoons have an iconic cult following. Several 1980's cartoons are being or have been remade within the last 5 years or so: Transformers, Super Mario, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears and Ninja Turtles. I have written articles on several of these cartoons already and have highlighted them so that you can jump to a favorite cartoon character page. The free printables that I put in my articles are direct reprints of the early cartoons. So these articles are a little history lesson as well some retro coloring fun! Today's free printables which tied for second place in the poll of favorite 1980s cartoons: Smurfs! free printable smurfs coloring pages

Free Printable Super Mario Bros Coloring Book
Posted on 17:46 by kumar
Nintendo Mario Brothers and Super Mario video and online games have been around for decades. From the early Nintendo 64 game platforms to the Play Station 3 and Nintendo DS of today, Mario and Super Mario games have mushroomed (pardon the pun) into an international icon for video game play. Japanese anime style characters Mario the plumber and his brother Luigi the pizza guy battle in odd little scenarios. I can't for the life of me really get the big thrill of Super Mario Bros but popular they are. Super Mario Bros is the best known and favorite for video gamers through. Here are free printable Super Mario Bros coloring pages! Click for free printable Super Mario Bros coloring pages
