![]() I hate to see a whole day go by without a post here. Amid and I are are busy on separate book projects this month. My postings will be a little less than normal this month – and this week in particular, as I battle several tight deadlines. Today I spent the whole day gathering all the images together for my Animated Features guide. The Peter Pan ad above has no particular signifigance to anything – just something I came across today, and I thought it was a fun thing to post.Have a good weekend.

This just in: There’s been a rash of kidnappings of the giant inflatable SpongeBob Squarepants figures that have been placed atop Burger King outlets to promote the genial sea creature’s movie. Some of the balloons have even shown up on eBay. Personally, if I were to pilfer any figure from a fast-food joint (which I wouldn’t), it would be a Big Boy or possibly a Jollibee…but those guys aren’t cartoon characters.

No reason for this post, but I just wanted to share this cool caricature of animator Ben Washam by fellow Chuck Jones unit animator Abe Levitow. Click on the drawing to read Washam’s ‘Cartoonist of the Month’ profile from the April 1960 edition of the West Coast animators’ union newsletter. ![]() |
