Saturday Morning Cartoons: My Little Duckaroo (1954)

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Rugged Bear (1953)

I love Humphrey the Bear. I remember as a kid we had a set of shorts starring him. They kind of remind me of Yogi Bear except that he is not smarter-than-the-average-bear. Enjoy

Saturday Morning Cartoons:El Kabong Meets El Kazing

Of all the Hanna/Barbera cartoon characters, Quick Draw McGraw is my favorite, especially because of El Kabong. I wanted to show this cartoon because it has El Kabong in it and it's the first appearance of Snagglepuss. Not only is Snagglepuss in it, but he isn't pink even. They reworked his character so he could be apart of the Yogi Bear Show. So enjoy the toon while I exit stage left.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: the Abominable Snow Rabbit (1961)

Not once but twice this week Of Mice and Men was brought up in different conversations. Every time I am reminded of that book I think of this Bugs Bunny cartoon. One of my favorite parts of growing up was learning various things and then going back and understanding the parody that was going on in these cartoons.

Saturday Morning Cartoons:Quack-A-Doodle-Doo (1950)

Went to Half Price Books and got a collection of Baby Huey comics from Harvey Comics. It's been a long time since I've thought or seen Baby Huey. I always thought he was a great idea for a character. I mean babies are funny and when you double their size they must be twice as funny. The book looks really good too. Reading the intro I've discovered that a lot of the early comics were made by the actual animators of the shorts, who would moonlight as comic artist for extra money.

Saturday Morning Cartoons:Deputy Droopy (1955)

Just got my Tex Avery's Droopy DVD collection. This is one of my personal favorites that I remember from my childhood.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Lambert the Sheepish Lion (1951)

Saturday Morning Cartoons: The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (1946)

I've been studying a lot of classic animation recently and thought I would share some goodies on Saturdays. This is a classic Looney Tunes cartoon starring the one and only Daffy Duck. I've always been a fan of the loonier/crazy Daffy than the newer angry duck. I liked that you never knew what he was going to do. With every new generation Daffy just keeps getting grumpier and grumpier. It's like his crazy side never existed.

This little gem is a hoot. Not only is it non stop hilarious, it is also just so visually spectacular. I think I could learn a lot from this just going frame by frame. Look at the mail man's hands when he delivers the mail (I never realize how creepy they were til now). They've also got Daffy making so many different kinds of expressions and poses. If I was half this creative I'd be happy.
