I’ve been wondering lately where

I’ve been wondering lately where and when the Superfriends “Wassup” video originated, so I did a little investigating. The first Usenet post mentioning it seems to have occurred on Feb 2nd, but none of the search engines I tried had anything about it. However, I did find this story claiming that Philip Stark, a writer for That 70s Show, came up with it.
