Just a brief update on the status of ANIMATION BLAST #9: I'm almost done with the issue and planning to send it to the Canadian printer in the next couple weeks. It should definitely be out by the end of April. A huge thanks to everybody for their patience.
Here's something I had to cut from the issue this week. It's a DePatie-Freleng era thumbnail board by one of the issue's featured artists, John Dunn (1920-1983). I have no idea whether it was for production (unlikely) or just a personal idea. I also don't know if there's more to the board; these three pages are all that exist at the moment. There's a bitter undercurrent in a lot of Dunn's humor, and it comes through rather strongly in these boards.
