Weird old cartoons!
I'm an animation aficionado. That's a snooty way of saying "I like cartoons!" I love 'em, every loony tune, merry melody, Fleischer folly and hypermethodrine Tex Avery classic! And I'm especially fond of the whacky, surrealistic, insane stuff from the early days of the field. Stuff like the original silent Felix the Cat.
And how about some of that early Mickey Mouse, before he become the image of whimpyness?
The great Ub Iwerks knew how to make his animations dance!
Even Bimbo, Betty Boop's boyfriend, was a cut-up!
And what the hell is going on here? Do we really want to know?
Okay, sometimes they can be a wee bit offensive.
But it was all in good fun! Share some of your favorites with us!
