I had to take a bit of a break from the CARTOON MODERN blog last month but wanted to let everybody know that it’s starting up again and there’s a lot of good stuff planned for the site. Updates in the past few days include hi-res stills from Ward Kimball’s short MELODY (1953), Playhouse Pictures commercial stills, and a nice letter I recently received from 50s-era designer/director Gene Deitch about the book.
