Casino Royale Embargo? O Grab Me!

There is this silly website concerning a bunch of James Bond movie fans that are distraught that the latest actor potraying James Bond is Daniel Craig . I believe these people are absolutely one hundred percent idiots. And big big cowards. There is no forum, nor an e-mail address to contact these malcontents ( I could try malcontents@craignotbond.com ). Typical one sided no listen to reason people. BTW I am not a fan of this actor but I am most certainly willing to give him a fair trial, unlike these loonies. If you want to know what all the fuss is about here is the link here and the loonies web site .

Looking for my old book of Segar's Popeye, that stuff is fantastic, well drawn and great stories. Buried under mounds of stuff in "storage". I am a big fan of the B&W Popeye animated cartoons by the Fleischer Bros, Max & Dave before Paramount bought 'em out.
Update on The Great Toothache. Decided I'll do it as Flash animation. Might as well. Will put up some artwork scans soon.

The Ghost of Stephen Foster

Check out this great Squirrel Nut Zippers video from 1999, it looks like an old Max Fleischer cartoon.

Interesting Valentine's day - I bought stuffed animals for girlfriend - she loves frogs and bananas - and she bought for me stuffed animals - frogs and bananas - sigh - the tracking shot idea in the animation project is tuff - Bill Plympton does this kind of stuff with coloured pencils all the time and he makes it look great, too! Checkout his stuff on www.atomfilms.com and visit his website at www.awn.com/plympton . Truly great illustrator and animator. Very weird and wonderful.
