Crusader Rabbit
Crusader Rabbit, first aired August 1st, 1950. Crusader is the world's first cartoon series made for television. Alex Anderson, nephew of Paul Terry, came up with the idea. Jay Ward is part of this, huge surprise there. It was filmed on a very low budget and has little animation, mostly still shots and camera pans making up the bulk of the cartoon. Here Crusader is about to demonstrate his lack of superpowers. https://youtu.be/C3hHQvkUhJo Ragland T. Tiger, Crusader's partner and best friend. The 'T' stands for 'the'. When asked about it, Rags would tell people his middle name was Larry but his dad couldn't spell! Rags is none too bright and is the beginning of a long tradition of dopey cartoon sidekicks. This is a cast photo, I cannot find out who is who in this. But never mind that, what is this picture behind the bar? I would not be astonished if this was by Martin Prov...

ReplyDeleteMy brother is unstuck in time.
ReplyDeletePlease explain -- Why does S. resist furry when it's so plain that he's already caught?
ReplyDeleteHe seems like he is ambivalent about his excellent cartooning skills. He does a lot of painting, and of course he wants to sculpt. I don't think he likes what he sees in the furry movement, although he likes all well done comics and such. In other words his anthro work is just one shell in the gun among many others.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see -- Well keep working on him. It's good to see his work here!
