Scrooge deflected questions about the spcifics of his loss. “I’m ruined. I’m only a poor old man,” stated the fowl, leading many to wonder if Scrooge’s mental capacity had diminished.  Melville purposefully distorted and misrepresentedthe character of what was, in fact, a truly terrific white whale.
The U.S. Center for Disease Control estimates
that robots who quit smoking add an average 14.2 hours of battery life.  Depression-Era “Bankrupt Donald Duck,”considered “topical toy” in 1932, might just be poised for a big comeback.
You can’t help but wonder what horrifying board games The Sinking of the Titanic Game featured a  Actual Excerpts From the rules:
THE OBJECT of the game is to be the first player to board the RESCUE SHIP – with at least two passengers, two water tokens and two food tokens. The Titanic starts to sink after each player has taken his first turn. When desired, a player may abandon his current stateroom assignment and proceed by the roll of the dice to a lifeboat. Should an assigned stateroom sink under the water line before the player gets to it, his Passenger Card is returned to the bottom of the deck. A player forced to move to the lifeboat launching area without a lifeboat loses all his passengers, food & water. A player who leaves the lifeboat launching area without a lifeboat is considered to be “swimming.” And from the box lid: You have to be ready to repel your fellow players’ attempts to board your lifeboat and take your food and water. It’s a merciless struggle, especially when the rescue ship heaves into sight – because the first player who reaches it with at least two passengers, two food and two water tokens is the winner. And what about the others? Well, you might say they’ve lost at sea. And speaking of being repelled… The New Game Across The Atlantic
The art, the music, the writing – all brilliantly done by Brian – lift you into an alternate dimension that is as laugh-out-loud-funny as it is strange and unsettling. You must see these – they are dark, hilarious, wildly entertaining pieces. You’ll want to keep this DVD next to the player so that you can present excerpts to unsuspecting visitors. Sadly, the trailer below offers the only online samples from the disc, and while it captures the flavor of Brian’s remarkable artwork, it ignores the narration, with its deadpan humor, and the classic clunk-clunk-clunk of the filmstrip experience (it even adds camera moves on the artwork; what were they thinking?) and thus, it doesn’t even give you a hint of the delights that await you. I would easily place this DVD in my top five of all time. I’ve been waiting for this DVD, hoping for this DVD, ever since seeing my first Brian Dewan Eye Can See Filmstrip. Best feature? It says “Volume 1″ on the cover.
No purchase required. Odds of winning depend on total number of California license plates. If you have won anything in The Lucky License Sweepstakes during the last 60 days, you are not eligible to win, unless, say, you sell the car to a neighbor for $1 or more, specifying that if the plate wins any license-related sweepstakes, you have retained your rights to such monies under law. Lucky License Sweepstakes assumes no responsibility for the unattractive squabble that breaks out, nor for the dissolution of civil communications with the neighbor, nor any sweepstakes-related bodily harm you may endure. We cannot advise on how to re-obtain the plate, which is needed to claim your prize. Sweepstakes open to adults aged 18 and older and license plates dates 1932 or later. In the event of a tie, the first person to submit the name of the California State Inmate pictured above, who stamped and painted today’s winning plate wins. I’m always honored when something posted here finds its way over to Cartoon Brew, one of my all-time favorite blogs. The comments from its knowledgeable readers have gone a long way to explain exactly what Yellow Submaryan is. If you want to get the details, head over to Jerry and Amid’s place and check out visitor reactions to, and explanations for, the clip that appears below. As to the clip that appears above, I find ‘em… but can’t always explain ‘em, beyond the thematic unity implied by the appearances of a deaf composer and blind musician. |
