Larry Loc has posted some photos on the Asifa-Hollywood blog from our Saturday afternoon marathon screening of TV commercials of the 50s & 60s. We had a full house yesterday, and due to the overwhelming response I plan to compile another show (with all-different material) for later in the year. No Comments » posted in Old Brew

 Harvey Kurtzman is among a handful of cartoonists who can be labeled a true genius, and just one example of his genius can be found in his pre-MAD comic strip HEY LOOK!, which he created in 1946. These full-page strips still look and feel remarkably fresh today, nearly sixty years after they were first drawn. They were reprinted in a book collection in the early-90s which is now out of print, but it’s possible to see over 150 of the HEY LOOK! strips online at the Cartoonist Group. When you go to the search page, just select Harvey Kurtzman as the artist. For even rarer Kurtzman, check out this amazing Cartoon Retro forum thread.

Not many details emerged yet, though according to folks who have seen the CG tests, it looks to be a very promising project.  No Comments » posted in Old Brew
