A poster of the long running Soviet cartoon series of short films Ну, погоди! (Meaning Well, just you wait!), which follows the comedic adventures of a Wolf (Волк), who attempts to capture and eat a Hare (Заяц). The series originally first aired in 1969 as part of the animated anthology series Весёлая карусель (Meaning Happy Merry-Go-Round) where it gained popularity. Production on the series would stop in 1983 during Doomsday as ICBMs hit Moscow, where production of series took place at Soyuzmultfilm. The original reels of the series were lost though copies of the series would be found in the months and years after Doomsday around the former Eastern Bloc. Although copies of the very first short that aired on Happy Merry-Go-Round has yet to be found.
In 2006, twenty six years after the last short aired and twenty three years after Doomsday. The reestablished Soyuzmultfilm in Krasnoyarsk announced that they would be continuing work on the cartoon, even hiring voice-alikes of the Wolf and Hare. A year later, the fourteenth short would finally air.

The music video for the song True by the English New Wave band Spandau Ballet.
The song was first released on the album of the same name on the 4th of March 1983 (six and a half months before Doomsday) and the song itself was released as a single on the 15th of April 1983 (just a little over five months before Doomsday).
Where was Spandau Ballet during Doomsday? If they were on tour and in a country or city that wasn't nuked, they could have survived.
I have no idea where Spandau Ballet was on Doomsday. The band could've been in their native United Kingdom.
Even if they survived, they won't be making music for some time. They'd just be another refugee that might succumb to starvation, nuclear radiation, disease, or civil conflict.
You're probably right about that. Most musicians would probably going on hiatus following Doomsday assuming they aren't killed in the nuclear blasts themselves or the chaos following them.
Even though I hate the taste of Moxie, I'm glad that the company managed to survive Doomsday.

Yikes, this comic strip seems too up and close for the day before doomsday.
Technically, Doomsday occurred on September 25, 1983 in the United States.
I should also note that according to the North Star Republic article on the alt history wiki, Charles Schulz actually survived Doomsday. He was able to evacuate to Rochester with his family along with a large selection of Peanuts comics. In 1986, after the government in Rochester was overthrown he moved into Mankato where he began to write more Peanuts comics for the then-state-run Mankato Times, though of course the Peanuts comics wouldn't be run nationwide anymore for obvious reasons. He would die in 1997 due to cancer (three years before his OTL death), but the Peanuts have been reprinted as reruns in the Mankato Times ever since.
