Jack Hamm Religious Cartoons. Hamm's art instruction books, including
Cartooning the Head and Figure, have been widely influential among a generation of illustrators, Simpson's creator
Matt Groening among them. Hamm began his cartooning career in the late 1930s and founded "The Jack Hamm Show," one of the first television art programs, which aired in the Dallas, Houston and Waco, Texas, TV markets.

Le Roi et L’oiseau - is an old school “anime” by
Paul Grimault, the script and score were contributed to by
Jacques Prévert. If those two names are not good enough for you then I also submit for your approval that the style in this film has been referenced as a source of inspiration for
Hayao Miyazaki. Although the wikipedia article doesn't back it up, so ill link to another site that
does. At any rate watching this movie will leave you wondering just how many people have ripped it off over the years.

Rabbit's animated journey through the history of (mostly American) cinema is a wonderful cartoon
and, unfortunately, an ad for Motorola. Link goes to embedded quicktime, very slow loading.

Interview of R Crumb, 60's legendary twisted cartoonist creator of
Fritz the Cat and
Snoid.
This is no
conservative man. Of Serena Williams he foams: "This butt is just bionic. It's beyond anything. It's unbelievable. Imagine having access to that?" He has a foot fetish, an obsession with piggybacking and delights in drawing outlandish
pornographic cartoons. {more links at bottom of page}

A student asked the Master, "What is the nature of the
Unofficial Daria Movie Rumor Page?"
The Master repiled, "The Page is
a long, confusing story told backwards. It is
lies and half-truths, yet it is the greater truth. It is a mirror,
a puppet show, a morality tale, a fiction which is real life, an homage yet the
reverse of an homage. It is the future, set in the present,
retelling the past. It is the present, set in the present, retelling the present."
The student said, "
Huh?"
The Master continued, "If
all else fails, look at the very bottom of the Page, past the links and the Web rings."
The student, not understanding, did as the Master told him. It was then that he was
enlightened.

Yet another political flash cartoon! Anyone else getting tired of hearing the same bland crap about the upcoming election?
This flash cartoon somehow manages to be funny anyway, even though its subject has been done to death. It's brilliant, and definitely worth a look.

Cartoon in Times Prompts Inquiry by Secret Service I know these guys have to investigate jokesters and fools who threaten the President, but this has the broad outlines of Federal intimidation of the press. Bah humbug on the SS, good for the lawyers for smackin' the guy down, and double good for the
L.A. Times for reporting it to their readers. (Reg. req. to read story. Sorry 'bout that, kittens.)
