Irv Spence's cartoon diary

MGM animator Irv Spence's cartoon diary for 1944. A cartoon of the day's happenings for every day in 1944 -- reprinted daily thoughout 2005. "These images are scanned from xeroxes an incalculable number of generations removed from the originals. Apparently, no amount of shoddy reproduction can suck the life out of these drawings..."

Love the idea, but am having trouble reading all the captions/dialogue. I like it better when sites like this also run a transcription below each cartoon.
