Felix And Otto And Waldo And Kim And Ted

Felix the Grouch Chaser, 1951.  This is the very picture of Kim Deitch's waking reality.  Kim, along with Robert Crumb, used classic animation style talking animals in underground comics, something that blew me away as a teen.   And that spot don't seem no gayer than anywhere else.  I won't say a thing about Felix feeling drugged, the art speaks for itself.  Volumes.   These bears drink, get high, have sex, listen to old jazz records, get yelled at by a cop, are foul mouthed, and the guy bear is living with a bear not his wife.  To say the least I was interested.   https://hybridfabulousfurryfun.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-cute.html     Toby Press, October 1951.  This short lived comics line lasted from 1949 - 1955, it was founded by Al Capp's brother, Elliot Chaplin.  Wikipedia says it fell victim to Dr. Wertham's groundless witch-hunt against the comics industry.  The artist is Otto Mesmer, the original animator for the Felix cartoons and who dre

Of Course You Realize This Means War!

      I guess I am not the first guy to think about drawing athletic, violent, narcissistic, stuck-up, oddly dressed bunnies with some kind of a civic conscience.  I found this on Cartoon Brew and it is something else. Weird, self-righteous, racist, dead wrong about what pushovers those Japs were gonna be and strange on every other level.  Outstanding anthro bunny! Timely Comics, aka Marvel, 1944.  Artwork possibly by Ernie Hart.   The animals rebuild the world after the war to end all wars ends mankind.   Peace On Earth, MGM.  1939.  This was remade by Hanna and Barbera while they were heads of MGM animation, as Goodwill To Men in 1955.  I prefer this version. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xuzdn      Everybody's favorite psychotic gay rabbit, and thank the Lord he's on our side, for now .  Well, that was easy.  Now we gotta win the peace!  Eh,...Whats up, Doug?    https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/   Oh, then there's this, a lagniappe as it were.   http

  It was a chill, rain-washed afternoon of a late August day, that indefinite season when partridges are still in security or cold storage, and there is nothing to hunt - unless one is bounded on the north by the Bristol Channel, in which case one may lawfully gallop after fat red stags. Lady Blemley's house-party was not bounded on the north by the Bristol Channel, hence there was a full gathering of her guests round the tea-table on this particular afternoon. And, in spite of the blankness of the season and the triteness of the occasion, there was no trace in the company of that fatigued restlessness which means a dread of the pianola and a subdued hankering for auction bridge. The undisguised open-mouthed attention of the entire party was fixed on the homely negative personality of Mr. Cornelius Appin. Of all her guests, he was the one who had come to Lady Blemley with the vaguest reputation. Some one had said he was "clever," and he had got his invitat

Hoppy, The Marvel Bunny, January 1946.  Chad Grothkopf. Cutey Bunny, Army Surplus Komiks.  Joshua Quagmire. Atomic Rabbit, November 1957, Charlton.  Maurice Whitman. Atomic Bunny, Oct 1958.  This was published by Charlton, and is a continuation of Atomic Rabbit after it's creator Al Fago left.  It folded in 1960, not surprising due to all the changes in the rabbit and the direction of the comic.  Here, Atomic Bunny has morphed into a Bugs look alike and there is nothing superhero about this, in fact it's a pretty lame gag and I hope Atomic beats the living hell out of the dipshit pink rabbit, yes I do, and then I hope he makes Pink Rabbit shove those turnips up his own ass one by one while wearing that bucket of p
