Bags of Mud

Garden Centres (yes Americans, that is the correct spelling) are where one goes to buy hanging baskets, garden tools, and wellies. And where you go back to repeatedly to buy more hanging baskets to replace the ones you forgot to water. Garden Centres also sell compost. An amazing selection of different kinds of compost, varieties for grow bags (they all look like grow bags), some for potted plants. Essentially they are all bags of mud.

The Vinci Code: "Mighty Mouse in Krakatoa"

Thanks again to the great Milton Knight that identified a lot of my favorite dance scenes performed by sexy female mice in Mighty Mouse cartoons as the work of the unsung Carlo Vinci.
This great animator did a lot of terrific work at Terry.
Enjoy the great Krakatoa Katie (" ...she's the lady, when she starts to shake her sarong...")'s dance scene from "Mighty Mouse in Krakatoa".

Fat Bloke = £2,000,000

Political Cartoons are great. It's like these people offer themselves up for public ridicule, the moment they enter office. Who needs the Thatcher Government, when we have this current crowd of character's. NuLabour rocks, if you're a cartoonist. I do hope they stay in office. The Tories just seem so samey, uninteresting and boring. David Camaroooooon looks like a bank manager. Not good subject for cartoons. I need freaks in the Government, ok!
Oh, and since highlighting his situation on here, Jeeves has now found a new job with Mr Prescott MP (Minister without much to do). From search engine guru to fat Labour politician's gofer. You see Jeeves, when you reach rock bottom, the only way is up.

Disturbing Cartoons: "Cocky Cockroach"

A recent post by the great Milton Knight in an animation forum gave me the idea to make a series of posts devoted to disturbing cartoons.
Here's some disturbing screenshots from "Cocky Cockroach", a 1932 Terrytoon.
Near the end, the hero, to save his girl, kills a spider with a sword.
The sword goes right trough his heart!!
Then we can see the bloodied sword as he gets rid of the villain's body!
Enjoy ( if this can be considered a pleasure...)



















"Oh Yes. Let's celebrate the bloody death that I caused with an hot kiss!" ( Disgusting, isn't it?)

Wayne Rooney Press Conferance

I'm no fan of Football or the World Cup, but it's almost unavoidable in the UK. Even watched most of the game on Sunday! Getting sucked into it.
Saw a news clip last night, with someone called Wayne Rooney saying he's not reading into the situation. I've no idea what he was talking about - but it gave me an evil idea. Five minutes with Google image search and here's the result....

Vladimir Tytla Celebration- Part 4

Was this the work of Tytla alone or he was helped by other artists, like Carlo Vinci? (Translation: Mr. Knight, I need your help!).
However, this is another amazing piece of animation!
And look at the care for details!
The evils feline's eyes are green, but when it turns into a green monster his eyes turns bloody red!
For you pure enjoyement, here you have pictures from "Mighty Mouse meets Jekyll and Hyde cat".








































Gee, the fate of the villains in the early Mighty Mouse cartoons....
