This nut may prove dangerous.Here's a nice cartoon to let all my babies know I didn't abandon them! This is the very first Superman animated cartoon, dated late 1941, produced by the Fleischer Brothers. Dumb plots told in a setting of gorgeous eye cocaine. Unfortunately, this transfer is "ass," but there are a few affordable DVD collections that are very faithfully restored, and the visual style and animation "physics" are still astounding.
Let's say this cartoon is a parable. What do you think it's about? (Audience participation time!)
Posted quickly; will follow with information on provenance later. RubberCrutch is a busy man these days.
It's about Journalism being a very important and heroic career choice and anyone with the strength of character and dedication to the truth to become a journalist almost certainly has an exciting, lucrative career now and the undying respect of all of America.
ReplyDeleteGolly! Fists against photons!! I saw color, but thought it more a charming black and white.

Oil Can: No, sorry. Try again.
ReplyDeleteAnon: this whole series is spectacular in color when seen on a quality transfer. BTW, when I lauded the animation physics, I was allowing for some poetic license in terms of the rather low modulus of elasticity the animators assigned to the flaccid Metropolis skyscraper that The Man Of Steel returned to its natural state of erection by tugging on the apex of the tower.
Well, technically, *high* elasticity or more precisely high recoverable strain was depicted...perchance tending toward non-newtonian viscosity (more research needed). Or if you prefer a large dose of "imaginarious" magical and poetical delusion, which of itself is also a perfectly vallid world view. Best of luck with the porticos and pediments of erected structures you dawg. Always use a cupola kids.
