Time to say goodbye. I am going to commit to leaving this site a “graveyard.”
I may be deleting some posts (or maybe all of them), so don’t be alarmed if something is missing. I know a lot of images are already missing because I never update this site anymore.
When I started this blog, I had a lot of time, few friends, and the wide-eyed ambition of a young college student with too many creative hobbies and not much focus. Becoming an adult and going to professional school has taken away a lot of free time, but also focused it onto the things that I did not have when I was younger: love, friends, a career path, and my health and fitness.
To all who love(d) this blog, I thank you so much. I hope that I have contributed something to your life or work, however small.
Much love,
Your humble narrator,
R. Phoenix
Here’s a great cover of “The Three Caballeros” song, sung by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. I like its being played on an old gramophone as well, it just adds to the atmosphere.
This clip came to my attention courtesy of reader Kaze. Thanks!
Here’s a hilarious “music video” for an Exit 57 song that uses clips from The Three Caballeros. It’s really well-edited and the song is hilarious. For those of you that don’t know, Exit 57 was an old comedy sketch TV program that featured now-famous Stephen Colbert. He sings in this video!
And here’s Brazilian singer Jose Oliveira, the voice actor of José Carioca, performing live on the Mickey Mouse Club:
He’s playing a Mexican song, “Jesusita en Chihuahua,” a.k.a. “the cactus song” from The Three Caballeros.
I hope you enjoyed these videos, I certainly did. (This blog’s not dead yet!)

Again, in lieu of “proper” content, and not wanting to go for a long time without posting anything, I’m presenting a selection of Three Caballeros-related artwork found on DeviantArt. Just to be clear, these are not by me.
Anthropomorphized “human versions” of the three.
Wonderfully-drawn picture of the guys on the beach.
The caballeros in WW2-like military uniforms (I like!)
Zé Carioca doing the whole Mary Poppins thing.
A badass rendering of the artist, Kuzco from The Emperor’s New Groove (hey, he IS South American and a llama), José, and Panchito. I really dig this drawing despite its non-canon-ness.
Someone made their own SD 3 Caballeros figurines! I would pay so much for these.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these pics and that they filled the void in this blog sufficiently enough ^^;;

Blurry enlargement from INDUCKS (click for full size). This is an American comic from November 1944.
But here’s something a lot more fun, that I thought of immediately when I saw the image of the policeman giving the guys a hard time:
