What’s a matter you?

Anyone else remember that old song? Ah, shuddap-u-face!

With stereotypes like these – who cares?

An Italian lass from Mr. Jones. Can I say that? Or does she have to be Irish?

Up Chuck—

As I said I’ve not posted in a bit, but I have been drawing. Again, here are some take son stuff from Looney Tunes. Chuck always had so…

Aw, Paaaa!

More love for the style of Chuck Jones.  Here are some frames from his Three Bears toon “A Bear for Punishment”, plus a toss away design for a…

101st Hare Born

Ok, he’s not a paratrooper, but in “Forward March Hare” (1953), Bugs does mistakingly get drafted into the army. I did a post earlier about the Chuck Jones…

Ah-ten-HARE!

The debate over the drill sergeant’s use of vocabulary aside, the short “Forward March Hare” (1952)  is another class in design from Chuck Jones. I rarely see this…

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….

It’s all in your head–

If you’re Ralph Phillips from the old Chuck Jones cartoons. A little something I did for my mom when we sent her some home made cookies, and Sherlock…
