new flickr photoset up (and LJ lost my title)
.
A number of animation-related pictures (and one ringer), mostly involving the 1941 Disney strike, have been scanned from photocopies out of New York City's great liberal paper of the 40s, PM. A few years back, I spent quite a few hours at a college library scouring the brittle bound pages (every time I touched one of them, little flakes fell, or a new tear appeared on a page edge -- ouch!) and copying out all the political cartoons by Ted "Dr. Seuss" Geisel. A year or so later, somebody else put out a whole book of them. But it was worth it, not only to see all the great Seuss art (he pronounced it "zoyss," by the way, just like anybody who spoke German would say it), but for other great stuff like this and Crockett Johnson's "Barnaby" strips, and many interesting articles and cartoons. So I'll be sharing some of that.
Sinister Unca Walt broods on striking animators. I have 13 drawings done by striking Disney staffers, photos of strikers -- including some in character masks -- and another article, as well as non-strike material (publicity for "Der Fuehrer's Face"), non-Disney material (publicity for "The Ducktators") and non-animation material (a really bad comic strip that had the distinction of being faxed to homes in the New York area in 1942 as an experiment by WOR.)
