A nice short I'd never seen before: LE PAPILLON (2002) by Antoine Antin & Jenny Rakotomamonjy, which has a very cool visual style that resembles an ink wash painting.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

Great poses and storytelling in these storyboard drawings by Warren Foster for the 1955 Bugs Bunny cartoon SAHARA HARE.

Birthday girl Marilyn Monroe - born 100 years ago today - being crowned Miss Cheesecake in 1952.

You can tell this Peter Lorre scene from THE MALTESE FALCON had a big influence on REN & STIMPY.

Old news, but new to me: I've always liked the Norah Jones song "Sinkin' Soon," but I've never seen the music video (directed by Ace Norton), which is exactly my kind of thing, full of bizarre puppets and eccentric stop-motion. Plus Norah in a cartoon mouse outfit.

Perfect comic timing from Tex Avery.

Five years of being cancer-free! The cancer was in my tongue, so I made this tongue-related cartoon around that time to spin something funny out of the situation.

Check out Kali's new cartoon! I've been following her stuff since the old blogspot days, and her style is so appealing.

RIP Tom Kane, the unmistakable voice of Professor Utonium in THE POWERPUFF GIRLS.

Gary Larson talking about the time THE FAR SIDE and DENNIS THE MENACE switched captions.

Bizarre, psychedelic advertising for Levi's: The Stranger (1971), dir. John Urie, Snazelle Films

Some beautiful pin-up drawings by Italian cartoonist Kremos (a.k.a. Niso Ramponi).

Born today in 1913: Looney Tunes genius Bob Clampett, a true wild man and artistic innovator whose work was always so, so funny.

Happy birthday to the wonderful Audrey Hepburn! Here are a handful of cartoons I drew based on her movies.

What behooves thee, fair maiden?

Nobody knew how to cram in the sight gags like Tex Avery.

It doesn't get much better than Harvey Kurtzman's old HEY LOOK comics. I love the energy he packed into his drawings.

Have some funny animals courtesy of cartoon wildman Jim Tyer.

Adding onto this, it's amazing to remember that these shorts were meant to be shown in front of a movie and then never seen again. It speaks to the passion for the art form these great animators had that they packed so much love and skill into what could've been disposable.

In addition to being hilarious, I always marvel at the incredible artistry the animators packed into every frame of the old Looney Tunes shorts. All of the little character nuances, the gorgeous backgrounds, the musical accents… these things really are such treasures of cinema.

Few cartoonists are better than Milt Stein at drawing cartoony poses and expressions. Beautifully appealing stuff. I love those giant gloved hands.

Born today in 1933: the "crazy influential" cinema queen Jayne Mansfield.

Great squiggly drawings in this 1980 Japanese cartoon about a sleepy dragon by Taku Furukawa.

No matter how many times I watch a Max Fleischer cartoon from the early '30s, I marvel at the endless flow of creativity and beautiful rubbery motion. True visual jazz (and the actual jazz on the soundtrack, courtesy of Cab Calloway in this case, doesn't hurt either!).

Beautiful cat ad from Studio Ghibli. Directed by Katsuya Kondo, animation director/character designer on films like KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE and PONYO.

I reccomend ya’ll to give this short a look at! Really rapid fire comedy and a killer plot ^^. Animation is also superb as always and the ragtime score gives it a natural rough & tumble flair!!!

Something I didn't know: Looney Tunes director Friz Freleng was planning to make a Snow White spoof starring a caricature of Marilyn Monroe as the lead. Here's some concept art by Aurelius Battaglia.

RIP Sam Kieth, creator of THE MAXX and artist on THE SANDMAN.

Don't waste your time with terrible AI fruit videos when you can watch Mickey Rooney lead an orchestra of fruits, featuring practical effects by the great George Pal.

Very smitten with this

Important info.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

James Thurber dogs.

I had a lot of fun writing a new article for @cartoonbrew.bsky.social about cartoon beavers throughout animation history, tying in with the release of Pixar's HOPPERS! Take a look for some great clips and history.

For our latest Cartoon Study, @nonsenseisland.bsky.social chews through animation history to spotlight some of the medium’s most memorable beavers, from Golden Age oddities to 'The Angry Beavers,' for the release of Pixar’s 'Hoppers.' www.cartoonbrew.com/cartoon-stud...

Dr. Seuss adaptations frequently struggle with expanding short stories to feature-length. I always thought a good candidate to adapt would be I HAD TROUBLE IN GETTING TO SOLLA SOLLEW, since it has a journey structure, so we could encounter various Seuss creations along the way.

Dr. Seuss self-portrait. I could stare at his scratchy line-work all day.
