That had to be a gigantic pain

Everyone should watch classic cartoons in slow motion, or better even frame-by-frame, it really helps one to appreciate the artistry and effort that went into the old shorts….

All Hare the King!

Bugs Bunny is, without a doubt, the king of animated comedy; and that’s a hill I’ll die on. He’s not even my favorite character, but it’s a fact….

It’s the Law of the West, Ma’am!

Here are a bunch of classic Tex Avery “takes” from various shorts, mostly “Homesteader Droopy”. The surprise for me when studying these old shorts is how they really…

Would you look at that?

Most are familiar with the iconic look of the main players Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, but the one-off cartoons done at Warner Bros. also show off some amazing…

Sam ole thing–

Yosemite Sam is rumored to be one of the most taxing voices to do. I read once that Mel Blanc‘s son replaced his dad for a while, but…

Well, Tex your time getting to that!

Told you I’d eventually get to sketching from Tex Avery shorts! Most of these are from “Señor Droopy” where our hero fights a bull for his true love…

Bearing down!

One more Barney Bear post, with some from “Busybody Bear” and “The Flying Bear”, which features a wonderfully designed plane. Tat character steals the show. I’m sure some…

On Your Marc Anthony, Set, Go!

Chuck Jones seemed to love one design for a dog above all others, as he used it in multiple cartoons, across multiple studios. From Warner Bros. and MGM,…

Bear and grin it?

Back to Barney Bear, there are just some great poses in those shorts, and some sweet facial expressions. The side characters always seem to get their poses pushed…

Bow wow wow, yo yo yippee yea

I love the Looney Tunes shorts with the bulldog, Marc Anthony,  and the kitten, Pussyfoot, although I always assumed the cat was a girl, apparently it’s a boy….

Huh, didn’t notice that bear-fore

I was never a huge fan of Tom & Jerry, as they didn’t show them a lot when I was a kid. They showed the Tex Avery Droopy…

That’s NOT All Folks!

As I said earlier, the classic cartoons are a source of joy, and for me it starts with Looney Tunes. Every fan has strong opinions about their favorite…

Back to the Beginning

It’s all been crap lately in regards to work, and I’ve seriously considered just opening an Onigiri shop, and calling it a day. I’m sure many people go…

The end is here, and so I face, my final curtain–

The last IDW issue of GI Joe came out this week, 300! Tanks for the memories. 

Don’t go losing your head!

But the last IDW GI Joe drops today… 300, the end of an era! I wish all the best to the next creative team that gets to work…

All work and no play–

Pisses Storm Shadow off to no end. Seriously, any of the Joes do anything around here? 

Wait for it!

Cause the final issue doesn’t drop until next week!

Am I the only one working here?

Ever wonder if Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow get annoyed with everyone else’s output?

Ouch! Right in the store!

No crotch, no Krav Maga! And if anyone accuses me of stealing layt-ers out ideas from Butch Guice- I deny everything!

Get some fresh air–

Sho Kusogi- er, Storm Shadow out in the woods.
