Hi, I’m Troy McClure, you may remember me from this Supercut.
Von Metafilter: „this collection, while impressive, was NOT all-inclusive – for example, whenever Troy rattled off three titles, the videomaker only picked two – check this reference page for many others, including ‘Good-Time Slim, Uncle Doobie, and the Great ‘Frisco Freak-Out’, ‘The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel’ and, of course, ‘Stop the Planet of the Apes: I Want To Get Off!’“

Adventure Time Title Card-Prints
We Love Fine verkaufen Adventure Time Title Cards als circa-A3-Prints und auf Imgur gibt’s eine Sammlung mit über 100 Stück davon, leider nicht wirklich in HighRes, sonst könnte man sich die Prints locker selber machen. (via Boing Boing)
Spongebob is huge in Egypt
Der heisse Scheiß in Ägypten derzeit: Spongebob Schwammkopf. Nein, doch, wirklich: Da unten kriegt man von Kopftüchern bis Unnerbuxen alles, inklusive einer Ansage im Fernsehen „to all the violent girls who do karate and to SpongeBob’s feminine eyelashes“:
The fictional marine sponge, historically found on kids’ cartoon channel Nickelodeon, is now the ubiquitous face of Egyptian tat – printed on everything from hijabs to boxer shorts, complete with spelling mistakes. (In Egypt, where western Bs are often confused with Ps, SpongeBob sometimes becomes a variant of SpongePop.) Name something cheap and tacky, and chances are that someone in Egypt can sell you a Spongified version.
His appearances have become so frequent that a blog – SpongeBob on the Nile – now documents his Egyptian adventures. Vice magazine was even forced to ponder: “Is SpongeBob SquarePants the New Che Guevara?“.
The explosion started about a year ago, SpongeBob on the Nile’s co-founder reckons. “I remember coming back in June 2012,” says Elisabeth Jaquette, a longtime Cairo resident who had returned from a year in America, “and walking through Tahrir Square, where you used to see T-shirts that said ‘Egypt’ and ‘Revolution’. But that June, half the T-shirts were just SpongeBob.”

Draw Homer, the Simpsons Drawing Club and the Bartkira Covers
1) The Simpsons Drawing Club: „A place where a group of close friends in the UK have come together to draw simpsons characters.“
2) Draw Homer: „[…] is an art project of world domination. We want the very best artists from all over the globe to draw Homer. Our ultimate goal is to have Matt Groening himself drawing one.“
3) Ich verfolge das Bartkira-Projekt auf Tumblr so nebenbei und schau’ da immer wieder mal rein und seit meinem ersten Posting darüber sind da so einige tolle Zeichnungen und Comic-Remix-Seiten aufgetaucht, dass ich mir da wegen der Awesomeness nur noch sehr wenige Sorgen mache. Die Cover der Bartkira-Comics – die 4! – von Arambulo gibt’s nach dem Klick: Gib mir den Rest, Baby…

Croissant de Triomphe: First Mickey Mouse-Cartoon in 20 Years
Disney hat den ersten Mickey Mouse-Cartoon seit grob 20 Jahren veröffentlicht, seit dem 1995er Runaway Brain gab es tatsächlich keinen neuen Zeichentrickfilm mit Mickey. Der Short ist an die alten Cartoons der 30er angelehnt und technisch wie stilistisch ziemlich toll, man beachte zum Beispiel die Kuchen-Glanzlichter in den Augen der Charaktere. Den Film kann man oben eingebettet sehen oder theoretisch auf der Website von Disney, die redirectet allerdings immer auf ihre deutsche Seite.
Ich mag Mickey ja sehr gerne. Donald ist zwar insgesamt mein Lieblingscharakter, auch weil er mir selber wohl am ähnlichsten ist, und Mickey ist so ziemlich die spießigste Figur im Disneyverse, aber ich begreife die Maus so ein bisschen wie Justus Jonas von den Drei Fragezeichen. Ein bisschen spießig und bürgerlich und sie braucht sehr oft eine Tollpatsch-Figur (Pluto, Goofy) um als Comedy durchzugehen. Aber sie funktioniert und Mickey ist wohl die ikonographischste aller Disney-Figuren. Jedenfalls: Disney hat ‘nen neuen Mickey-Short am Start und das ist der erste von insgesamt 19 Cartoons – Warum 19? Ich weiß es nicht… – die in verschiedenen Städten auf der ganzen Welt spielen werden. Auf die Tokyo-Version der Maus bin ich schon sehr gespannt.
With the slapstick feel of classic Mickey Mouse, the series of cartoon shorts presents Mickey in a broad range of humorous situations that showcase his pluck and rascality, along with his long-beloved charm and good heartedness. Each cartoon short finds Mickey in a different contemporary setting including Santa Monica, New York, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Venice, and the Alps, facing a silly situation, a quick complication, and an escalation of physical and visual gags. The stories also feature genuine heartfelt and heroic moments as Mickey explores and experiences life with his comical partners: Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. […]
Produced in 2D animation, the design esthetic for the Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts reaches back almost 80 years and borrows reverentially from the bold style of his 1930s design, but not before adding a few contemporary touches. Designs for other characters have a similar approach, favoring a “rubber-hose” cartoon style for more exaggerated animation. Background designs closely reflect the graphic design sense of 1950s and 1960s Disney cartoons. And for those true eagle-eyed Disney fans, the production team has also included the occasional homage to other icons from the storied Disney heritage.

Charles Ponstingl, the Man who carved the Comics
Abartig großartiges Posting auf der Website von Mel Birnkrant (den ich schonmal vor zwei Jahren mit seinen Memoirs of a Toy Designer hier hatte) über die Holzschnitzereien von Charles Ponstingl, der über 200 Stills aus vorwiegend Disney-Comics und -Cartoons in enormen Detailreichtum nachgeschnitzt hat. Die Bilder auf der Seite haben mich grade umgehauen, von Mickey Mouse bis Little Nemo und Bugs Bunny, alles aus Holz geschnitzt. Awesome!
To understand Charles’ interest in Comic Characters, one need only look back to his childhood. All the Funny Folks, and the Great Artists who created them, speak to him of simpler times and better days, echoing an era when America was still fresh and brave. They carry him back to his earliest days, a time when good and evil were still easily discernible, and almost everyone, as well as the Comic Characters that Charles met in the “Funny Papers”, were all on the same page.
Ron carried the carvings into my house, one at a time. Each one was contained in its own carefully constructed carrying case. As I lifted the lid of one box after another to feast my eyes on the treasures that hid inside, I thought, how strange this whole adventure seemed. These mysterious carvings; how did they come to be? The work of this reportedly unpleasant old man was clearly talking to me, and telling me a story that didn’t quite add up. Could this curiously friendly and so lovingly crafted body of work really be the product of a difficult and cantankerous old man? And why was it “he would never carve again”?
