Courtesy of Marc Schirmeister, The Asifa Hollywood Animation Archive has posted the complete 18-page Crimebuster story from a 1942 issue of Boy Comics. The story, written by Charles Biro and drawn by future stooge-in-law Norman Maurer, uses the fictional Acme Animation Studio as a backdrop. There are references to animators with some familiar sounding names (Gordon, Tyre (sic), Lovey (sic), Foster). Read it here.

    My comment isn’t about this post, but I recently received, through my RSS service, a post about the war-time Japanese cartoon, but when I came straight here to find and comment on it, it was gone. Was it removed for any reason, or did it just get lost accidentally?

    At one time I worked for Mr. Ames. He didn’t like my animation either.

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I just saw [$9.99] in the Holland animation festival. It is one of the best animated films that I’ve ever seen! I don’t talk about animation (because animation, and etc. are things that I’m not interested in). The design is good enough not to tease you. But the literature, the script, and the cinema in this film are fantastic. Made me think about one of my favorite all time movies “Smoke”. Yes, this film is a full Auster-esque experience. Smart and witty! It has to be nominated for an Oscar!"
    – Theodore Ushev
    "$9.99"
