Unnatural History of Wall Street
September 15, 2008 12:11 pm
Today is bad news if you work on Wall Street, but it’s good news for folks who want to watch cartoons about Wall Street. Animator Gary Leib just debuted a timely animated piece on the NY Times website: Unnatural History of Wall Street. It’s one minute of fun, loose and cartoony animation with a jazz score by Mike Hashim. This is Leib’s second piece for the Times website; his first was this history of the Meatpacking District. |

I can’t comment much on the content of the piece —the symbols were flying by so fast. (Hmmm, maybe that alone says something about Wall Street.)
I really enjoyed the animation and the sax though, and would hate this to get by without a comment.
Some of Gary Lieb’s collaborative comic work with Doug Allen (Steven) was pretty wild too. Idiotland comes to mind.
