I will be interviewed on American Public Media’s WEEKEND AMERICA - Topic: hidden gags in classic cartoons. I don’t know what time or what station this plays in your area (though it’s on Saturday afternoon 1pm -3pm on KPCC 89.3 in Los Angeles), but you can also listen to it on internet. You’ve been warned.

A nice picture of me interviewing J.J. Sedelmaier at the 2005 San Diego Comic Con, last Friday, is posted on the Asifa-Hollywood blog.Being the ego-maniac I am, if anyone else posted pics (or took pics) of me hosting the Disney panel or Worst Cartoons screening (or reviewed those panels in a Con Report on their blog) I’d love to see ‘em.

If you haven’t picked up my book THE ART OF ROBOTS yet, now might be a good time to grab a copy on Amazon. There is currently a “bargain price” deal where the book has been marked down to $14.99. Even better, Chronicle Books has also marked down THE ART OF INCREDIBLES to $14.99, and the earlier Pixar books — THE ART OF MONSTERS, INC. and THE ART OF FINDING NEMO — have been knocked down to $17.99.

![]() This is a painting by John Dunn (1920-1983), the supertalented story artist and designer who will be profiled in ANIMATION BLAST #9. Speaking of BLAST 9, I’m planning to finish up the issue as soon as I wrap on my 1950s animation design book. The issue has continued to evolve over the past year and there are a number of new articles planned for BLAST 9, including a wonderful little piece on WWII gag drawings by the likes of Tom McKimson, Rod Scribner, Preston Blair and Bill Justice. I am trying my best to make this the strongest issue of the BLAST yet, and around October 05, it’ll hopefully be printed and ready to send out to everybody.
