Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
Just so you can get the time frame, I am 32 years old. I must have seen this cartoon between the ages of 7 and 10.
Here's what I remember:
There was a gangly looking boy - kinda wimpy, tall, skinny, disliked - shy nerd type, I could swear to g-d that his name is Stanley, but don't quote me on it.
Now "Stanley" would enter a building in a park and inside the building was an animated figure - just a giant set of lips with glasses that would talk to the boy. The thing was is that the background behind this creature was all swirly and psychadelic-like and the colors of the constantly morphing abstract background would change with the mood of the creature. So for example, if the creature yelled at the boy, the background would look all jagged and red.
And this is all I really remember. I looked up "Stanley and His Monster" and that isn't it - at least not the comic version of it. Maybe this is an adaptation?
All I know is that this has been bugging me for the last, oh, 22 years or so!
I appreciate any and all help!

I forgot to mention that "Stanley" and the park and the building weren't animated. Only the creature and the background were animated.

Sorry, but I can't help on that one. Of course, Stanley & His Monster was the first thing I thought of, but the description (and time frame) isn't even remotely similar.
I was pushing 40 about then, but still a big fan of classic cartoons -- in fact, that's about when I started collecting them on videotape. Among other things, I amassed a complete set of Rocky & Bullwinkle that way. No, what led to my lack of interest in Saturday morning stuff was the fact that it was controlled by Action for Children's Television and similar groups, which both censored anything that might be interesting to kids, and pushed a political agenda that was not only boring, but also, in my non-humble opinion, was bad for them.
Anyway, that's a period I don't have much personal knowledge of. I'll no-doubt run across it in my research eventually, but there's no telling how long that'll take.
Alternatively, we can hope someone with more knowledge of that period's cartoons than I have will speak up. Anyone?
Quack, Don
