Rest in peace, Diane Keaton.

R.I.P. Diane Keaton. So brilliant and funny in ANNIE HALL, MANHATTAN, LOVE AND DEATH, etc. If you haven't seen her incredible comic performance in the ultra-bizarre SLEEPER, you need to.

One of my favorite New Yorker cartoons. By Michael Crawford.

Terrific dog drawing by Ronald Searle.

The actual life of a showgirl.

Tragic: I wanted to use this "split up" gag in something, but then I realized REN & STIMPY already did it.

Here are some of my boards from @adampaloian.bsky.social and Pinreel's new SpongeBob short, GO FETCH! I had a blast helping out on this, and I'm in awe of the final result. See if you can spot the similarities and differences between the boards and the final short.

Bob Lubbers and Li'l Abner beat SpongeBob to the punch by 43 years on this gag (the brilliant work of Aaron Springer and Carl Greenblatt).

The best frame from THE JETSONS.

Maybe the Looney Tunes short most relevant to our times: 1956's TO HARE IS HUMAN, in which Wile E. Coyote creates a computer to think for him and slavishly obeys everything it tells him to do, no matter how self-destructive.

Pin-Up Art by the great Dan DeCarlo, best known for drawing the Archie Comics.

Prime Tex Avery gag.

I say this a lot but it's cool that this sort of thing is the greatest achievement in the history of humanity and no one wants to pay any money for it to exist

bob clampett toons just hit so different. his use of closeups in particular is so distinct. also are you kidding me with this shot from "what price porky" which just blew me away

R.I.P. Claudia Cardinale. She was so charming in the original PINK PANTHER movie from 1963.

Craig McCracken would've made a great newspaper cartoonist.

Born today in 1912 - the brilliant Chuck Jones, responsible for so many of the funniest moments in film history.

Born today in 1917 - the great voice actress June Foray, who handled the majority of the female voices in the Looney Tunes shorts of the '50s. Crazy that she was able to do those hoarse, throaty voices of old ladies while she was in her thirties.

The Animation Showcase last night went great, and I was really happy with the reaction to my brand new animated short THE ADVENTURES OF JESTER JILL. I'll post it online soon. I can't wait for you all to see it!

My brand new animated short THE ADVENTURES OF JESTER JILL makes it debut tonight at the Cartoon Crossroads Columbus event at the Gateway Film Center, 7:30pm. I helped curate the show, and there's a ton of cool stuff.

How NOT to draw Mickey Mouse, by Ward Kimball, the wildest of Walt Disney's Nine Old Men.

The great Walt Kelly, creator of the satirical masterpiece POGO, was born today in 1913. I’ve gotten the pleasure of seeing some of his originals in person, and his linework is just so beautiful.

Speaking of Tim Burton, I'd like to see him make a movie out of his character Voodoo Girl.

Happy birthday to Tim Burton. Here's a concept drawing of Sally drawn by Tim for NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Jayne Mansfield knows what's good.

Cartooning genius George Herriman was born today in 1880. My hero since I was a little kid.

Someone should use this as their campaign song.

Model sheet of Hatta Mari, femme fatale from the Looney Tunes cartoon PLANE DAFFY (1944), directed by Frank Tashlin.

Went out to the theater to see a silent comedy, but the organist was sick, so instead they were playing James Cameron's TITANIC, of all things. So here's Buster Keaton in a sinking ship. What an insane talent he was.

Tex Avery rules.

Howard Stern summed up on THE CRITIC.

I love the bold colors and thick impasto in these paintings by Swiss impressionist Giovanni Giacometti.

Concept art for 1939's THE WIZARD OF OZ, painted by production designer Jack Martin Smith.

Classic Hollywood star Ginger Rogers responding to her movies being colorized.

R.I.P. to the great songwriter/satirist Tom Lehrer. This song of his from 1959 is one of my favorites, because it's so comically bleak yet weirdly reassuring.

What THE FANTASTIC FOUR might look like if it came out in 1909. From Romeo Bosetti's THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW (1909).

A troll in a sweater.

Some amazing poses and expressions in the French-Canadian cartoon COSMIC COWBOYS, created by Eddy Marx.

If you've ever wondered what Tinkerbell would sound like... the Disney artists used a suspiciously Tinkerbell-ish design for the switchboard operator in FOOTBALL NOW AND THEN from 1953 (the same year PETER PAN came out).

Amazing moment from the Polish cartoon THE RED AND THE BLACK (1964), by the underrated Witold Giersz.

Here's an elderly cat and dog I just drew.

Amazing pose by the great Chuck Jones. So much action is packed in those quick gestural lines.

Since my grandpa passed away, it seems fitting to post a FAR SIDE comic. We both loved THE FAR SIDE and I used to read the collections he had at his house all the time.

I love these paintings of Hanna-Barbera characters by Little Golden Books illustrator Mel Crawford. So colorful and appealing!

Concept art for TITAN A.E. from back when it was still called PLANET ICE.

The way Jim Carrey delivers this line in BATMAN FOREVER kills me whenever I see it.

THREAD: I was taking a look at art from a century ago and I thought I'd post some of it. Here are some 1925 paintings by Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, and Hannah Höch.

Hey guys! In honor of Jasmine Amy Rogers getting a Tony nomination for playing Betty Boop on Broadway, I wrote an article highlighting Betty's weirdest and most wonderful cartoons. Check it out: www.cartoonbrew.com/cartoon-stud...
