Indie animation’s most eligible bachelor, Bill Plympton, is tying the knot! News has reached us that animator Bill Plympton will be getting married to artist Sandrine Flament on Friday. For those who don’t know, Plympton is essentially New York City’s “king of independent animation”; Flament is a Paris-based illustrator who has worked as an assistant on several of Plympton’s films. My personal best-wishes to both of them. Bill can be congratulated in the Comments below. 30 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, Bill Plympton December 20, 2011 11:30 pm

We interrupt this animation blog with a discovery of tremendous historical signifigance. Or at least, I think so. Warner Bros. cartoon art super-collector Eric Calande just found this postcard (from the 1950s?) depicting Harman & Ising Bosko and Honey dolls which we’ve never seen before. It’s known Harman and Ising continued to license Bosko (in comic books and coloring books, and home movies) into the 1950s. But postcards? With plush dolls? Anyone with further information on what this “series” is part of, please let us know. In the meantime, cool image, huh?

This was one of a series of mass produced Bugs Bunny Christmas cards commercially released in the 1940s – this particular one sent by WB cartoon producer Edward Selzer himself.

Feedback from our posting vintage Walter Lantz Christmas cards has prompted a search for more classic cartoon holiday cards. To the rescue comes our pal Tim Walker, who has unearthed a selection golden-age goodies – enough for us to post one or two each day from now to December 25th. Today we have two (click thumbnails below to enjoy at full size): the first, below left from Bob McKimson and family; the next (center) a postcard from animator John Carey sent to Carl Stalling (flipside, below right) in 1945. |
