    Between Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, and Chuck Jones, my favorite is Clampett.

  4. jeaniebeanie on All the Leaves are Green, and the Sky is YellowJuly 16, 2026

    Your OCD Twinster suggests: "tan" or "beige" to get the correct one syllable. But heck, it IS yellow. It's not…

  5. MIH and WGH on Flat-FootedJuly 12, 2026

    I wore one of those, very uncomfortable. I called mine "das Boot". Heal quickly.

Cartoony Looney – 70

Good, old-fashioned jack stands! Cars now come with much safer scissors jacks for changing tires.

Cartoony Looney – 69

My buddy Bismo talked me into subscribing to CBS All Access to watch Star Trek: Discovery, but I’m watching Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone reboot. Peele is such a fantastically talented guy that I think he’s actually an alien.

I’ve been doing figure sketching to come up with different designs and poses for the characters.

Puppet Pals Fight Facism

After Germany invaded Holland, George Pal produced “Tulips Shall Grow” with an assist from animator Ray Harryhausen.

The boys in this Hitler protest cartoon from Disney were drawn by Ward Kimball, and they resemble his work on Pinocchio.

Today’s logo sketch is an example of how I think a TV animation studio might modify Jeanie’s design to make her more ‘Smurfy.’
