Those were random pictures I found on Flickr- you could probably try to contact the members who posted the photos to inquire about buying their products- I'm pretty sure some of them advertised their artisan businesses...

Pretty cool drawing of Wanda Kay from The Hardy Boys cartoon. :)

Never seen the cartoon, is Wanda a character just for the cartoon as she doesn't appear in any of my 100 odd books?

Anyway. I know South Park take the mickey out of the boys in an episode and I think The Simpsons mentions them at some point.

Wanda Kay was created specifically for The Hardy Boys cartoon and does not show up in any of the books. And hey- welcome to the forums, hottie! :)

That's pretty cool. It's interesting there's fan art for such an unknown character.

MacGyver

yeah- and posted as recently as the start of this month.

A fairly minor mention, but I feel pretty certain The Hardy Boys were the inspiration for this series of books from Todd Strasser- The Tardy Boys ;D

Not sure if this should go here or not, but it seemed close enough. I ran across a link to a page that has tons of the original artwork for many of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and The Bobbsey Twins and Tom Swift and probably some others' books- mainly the Digests and Casefiles/Files books.

Cool- I know Paul Mular has done some extensive research on The Hardy Boys, as evidenced in his Hardy & Hardy Investigations books. Do you know if he and his wife participate on the forums here?

I know that they are aware of the site, but I don't think so.

okay- just curious. I've seen some of his posts on another Hardy Boys mailing list/message board I'm on (or have been on anyway- it's honestly been quite a while since I've used it)- Anyway, he's always had a lot of useful information on The Hardy Boys. :)

In the Scooby Doo movie "Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo", two boys who look like Frank and Joe from the 1969 cartoon appear. I think a boy who looks like Pete from the cartoon also appears, but I don't remember it that well.

Wow- that's pretty cool. I saw that one a while back when it first released- I'll have to borrow it again and check it out for that Hardy Boys cameo. :)

Nancy Drew vs. The Hardy Boys - while I could point out factors easily giving The Hardy Boys an edge in popularity, etc.- I actually like both The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew just fine. (Though being a male, I do read The Hardy Boys more so than Nancy Drew- but yeah, I've read some Nancy Drew too and I like those as well.)
I'm mainly just glad to see that both The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books still have popularity with kids today.
