There have been plenty of great cartoons over the years, but when it comes to the best cartoons, most of us will agree that the 80's is where it's at. With so many good ones to choose from it has been hard to compile a list of just 10 but here goes nothing!

Back in the 1980’s there was no such thing as eHarmony. In fact, there was barely an effective matchmaking system that didn’t occur on game shows. If you didn’t meet your soul mate in high school, there was no sitting on your ass in front of a computer screen. You actively had to seek out the dating scene by bar ...

I dare you to find a family portrait cooler than this one that doesn’t feature bacon. The bayonet to mustache ratio really does it for me. Link

Perhaps one of the geekiest wallets I’ve ever seen, Toddland offers this Retro Cellphone Wallet. So retro that it includes an antenna. Each wallet runs for $24. If cellphones aren’t your thing (God help you if they aren’t,) Toddland offers a few different geeky designs, including a UFO wallet and a Rocket Ship wallet.

With all the DIY arcades out there like the Powerbook arcade or the Metroid themed MAME cabinet, you’d be crazy not to take a crack at building your own. Now if you just so happen to be rich, you won’t mind living by the motto, “can’t someone else do it?” Yes, someone else can do it and that someone is ...

In full 80s style, SPECIMEN Custom Guitars has designed a Pac-Mac themed electrical guitar, much more friendly looking than the Steampunk Guitar. The fingerboard of the guitar features blinking little guys, ya know, the ones that Pac-Mac loves to gobble down. A variable-speed knob is located on the eyeball so you can synchronize the blinker to the beat, jamming out ...
