- Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) in the final scene of "Made in New Jersey", the series finale of The Sopranos (1999-2010). In fact, this shot takes place immediately before he's unceremoniously shot dead by a mysterious assailant in a "Members Only" jacket in a homage to an iconic scene in The Godfather.
Awesome! How did you make these (and so quickly, too!)?
I found some cliparts on the web and did some editing to the second Dr. Sub's logo illustration (colored it and removed the BG). Then I added the text. For the 2002 logo, I just took the bottom bun from the old Burger King logo, flattened it and cloned it, and added the text. The font is Tabitha, though slanted.

- Actor Steve Burns in a 2016 interview. Burns got his start as the host of Blue's Clues on Nickelodeon from 1996 to 2003. After he departed, Burns made a name for himself as the star of various dramatic films and television series, though he would occasionally make return appearances to the Blue's Clues franchise in the years since.
NOTE: I was inspired to make Steve post-Blue's Clues a known dramatic actor by his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street. Kids who stayed up late and watched NBC the night this aired probably wondered, "Why's Steve not in his green sweater? Where's Blue, Mr. Salt, Mailbox? And that's not the thinking chair!".

(Here are my three attempts on animation in the KFP world. If this contradicts cannon then I’ll accept it being discounted, I just wanted to try my hand out with making posts for Gap80’s KFP universe if that’s okay.)
- A promotional image for the Disney animated television series Amphibiland (2018-2021), created by Matt Braly and starring Brenda Song as Anne Boonchuy and Thurop Van Orman as Weed Planter. The series concerns Anne, a 13-year-old Thai-American girl who gets magically transported to the eponymous magical fantasy world of walking, talking frogs, toads, newts, and other amphibian species alongside her two best friends Sasha and Marcy, where she ends up being taken in by the Frog Planter family who she becomes close with, eventually going on a quest to reunite with Sasha and Marcy and return back home to Earth. The series premiered in June 2018 to a positive reception by audiences and critics, who praised it’s characters, animation, voice acting, humor and emotional weight, with the show continuing on for three seasons, concluding with a two-part series finale in May 2021.

The Boiling Ises, created by Dana Terrace and aimed towards an adolescent audience, tells the story of Luz, a human teenager who ends up in the fantastical afterlife-esque realm of witches and demons known as the Boiling Isles, where she hopes to become a witch under the guidance of Eda and her “roommate” King, while navigating both her own life and the new world she has ended up in. The series has received widespread critical acclaim for it’s animation, characters, humor, voice acting, themes, and emotional weight, and became quite notable for it’s BLUTAGO and Neurodivergent representation.

(1937), which after a few years in production beginning in 2017 was released by Studio Ghibli in July 2021. Like in the novel, the film follows a 15-year-old boy named Junichi Honda, nicknamed Koperu, and his uncle as the youth deals with spiritual growth, poverty, and the overall experience as human beings. The film received critical acclaim, and will reportedly be Miyazaki’s last, with the universally praised animator stating that he was retiring after it’s release, although the opportunity for him to make another film before he goes is still up in the air.

Nice! He looks just like him! But he died only two years after his uncle? Damn, that sucks.
I decided to give him a few extra years as he apparently died in 1989 according to Anthony Sanders. I just figured the nephew of a former President could probably have better than average healthcare, thus warranting a few extra years.
Oh darn, well it’s nice to know about that atleast. RIP to him both IOTL and ITTL.
I don't recall any of those shows being mentioned in the timeline thread, so...

The 2004 Indiana Gubernatorial Election was initially expected to be an easy win for Republicans. While retiring US Rep. Jill Long Thompson won the Democratic party nomination with over 90% of the primary vote, Indiana Republicans were torn between 3 “establishment” candidates and 1 “populist” candidate – Jonathan Sharkey, a US Army veteran, former professional wrestler, and actor in several small independent films. An openly Luciferian political activist and self-proclaimed vampire, Sharkey raised his profile in Indiana by founding the Vampire, Witches, and Pagans party in 1996, but left the party in 2000 to run in the Republican primary for a US House seat, where he finished second (out of three) with 22% of the vote. During the SARS pandemic, he gained national attention for protesting Governor Goldsmith’s “restrictive” responses to the SARS pandemic, and quickly began campaigning against “SARSdemic Socialism” on various sites ontech. During the Republican primaries for Governor, Sharkey was the most vocal opponent of Governor Goldsmith, won the endorsement of Bernie Goetz, and caught local attention for protesting being excluded from the primary’s sole debate, where the 3 leading candidates slinging mud at each other helped Sharkey double down on his anti-corruption and law-and-order messaging. Amid the divided opposition, Sharkey won his party’s nomination with only 35.9% of the vote. Democrats rejoiced, as Thompson was trouncing Sharkey, while trailing the 3 other Republicans, in hypothetical polling. By the end of September, Sharkey had narrowed the initial gap dramatically, from 19% to just 6%, by trying her congressional record to President Jesse Jackson's most unpopular policies. Then Sharkey was arrested on human trafficking charges. Sharkey refused to bow out of the race. The Republican Party of Indiana, already reluctant to support an open Luciferian, immediately withdrew their support from Sharkey and, after failing to remove Sharkey from the ballot, switched their endorsement to David Martin McIntosh’s subsequent write-in campaign. McIntosh, who previously had worked in the Iacocca and Dinger administrations but had never run for public office before, was also the nominee for Lieutenant Governor at the time, and it was unclear if it would be legal for him to hold both positions if he won both, so the Indiana state legislature revised the state’s election laws in 2005. The Vampires, Witches, and Pagans Party, meanwhile, retained their endorsement of their founder, Thompson basically ignored McIntosh in favor of continuing to bash Republican leaders for their previous comments praising Sharkey, and former diehard Sharkey supporters flocked to libertarian candidate Ken Gividen of the Liberty Party. On election night, voter turnout dipped all the way down to 47%, with only 1,917,634 votes being cast (compared to the 2,201,485 votes cast in 2000). Thompson won with a plurality due to fiscal conservatives voting for Gividen and social conservatives rallying around McIntosh splitting the Republican vote. However, McIntosh won the race for Lieutenant Governor that same night with roughly 55% of the vote, and with Democrats down ballot not facing the same divided opposition Thompson enjoyed, Thompson entered office with Republicans still controlling both chambers of the state legislature. Thompson ultimately lost re-election while Sharkey was incarcerated for 12 years, then faded into obscurity; he reportedly currently resides in New Jersey, works as a “sound technician” and auto-mechanic, and now supports the Bigfoot Party due to its “inclusivity.”

The 1976 gubernatorial election in North Dakota saw incumbent Aloha Pearl Taylor Brown Eagles, a pro-choice fiscal conservative whose first name is pronounced "ah-LOW-ah" with a silent "h," win re-election over the moderate Sophus Trom, with a third-party pro-life candidate winning roughly 2.4% of the vote. Her margin of victory here, and her high approval ratings due to the stable local economy weathering the Crash of ’78, convinced her to run for President in 1980. Though unsuccessful, Eagles did make history as the first Republican Governor of North Dakota to run for President.
[Note: It seems that, in both Indiana and North Dakota, candidates for lieutenant governor were elected separately from gubernatorial candidates, instead of together on a ticket, until the 1970s or 1980s IOTL, but ITTL, these remain separate races in both states.]
My take:

Animator, director, writer and voice actor Billy Lopez in an interview during production on TCN's Welcome to the Wayne (2016-2020).
(NOTE: Another show unfairly screwed by Nick IOTL. I'd picture Saraline being voiced by Judith Barsi. Ansi is still voiced by Alanna Ubach, and Olly is still voiced by Lopez.)
