I have two very different cartoon offerings today. The first is a short, animated Popeye cartoon from Max Fleischer, from 1936, entitled “Little Swee’Pea.” This is a fine effort, with well-rendered animation for its time.
In response to a reader request, I’m adding some links to contemporary print cartoons, today. Sometimes cartoons — especially these print cartoons, offer a counter-cultural message. There are magazines of both left and right that publish cartoons with sometimes acerbic messages. Here are links to a few:
“This Modern World,” by Tom Tomorrow. In an April 3rd cartoon, This Modern World satirizes the Clinton strategy against Obama.
Bill Griffith’s Zippy the Pinhead. Griffith’s website even has a guide to help readers unfamiliar with the cartoon understand what’s going on.
Chris Muir, Day by Day. Here’s a right-of-center cartoon, available on the Web and in color, that’s become increasing popular. Day by Day‘s website includes an archive of past cartoons.
Enjoy.
