Here’s the very first episode The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (AKA Rocky and His Friends, The Bullwinkle Show, The Rocky Show/The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show/The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle/The Adventures of Bullwinkle and Rocky, and Bullwinkle’s Moose-O-Rama), which aired on ABC way back on November 19, 1959.
Crude animation and clever as hell.
I’ve posted this here and there before. Deal with it.
The way it was meant to be. Clean out your garage, maybe you’ve got some treasures like these…
Fantastic.
One of the most innovative, inspirational and imitated artists in the history of cartooning, Mort Drucker has illuminated the pages of MAD Magazine since 1956 with his brilliant movie and TV caricatures. His Time covers hang in the National Portrait Gallery and he holds an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the Art Institute of Boston. In 1987, the National Cartoonists Society awarded him the profession’s highest honor, the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year.
In 2015, he became the inaugural recipient of the NCS Medal of Honor. To mark the occasion, the NCS created a commemorative video. Filmed at Mort’s home studio in Long Island, New York, the legendary artist talked to his friend and fellow cartoonist John Reiner, the artist on the hugely popular features The Lockhorns, Howard Huge and Laugh Parade.
In a warm and enthralling conversation, the pair reflected on Mort’s path from his teenage days as a comic book assistant artist to his rapid ascent to the pinnacle of the profession, and discussed the attention to detail and quest for cartooning excel;;once that haas been the hallmark of Drucker’s illustrious career.
Check this out, an even bigger nerd than I is painting an entire series of Moebius Models based on characters from the Batman TV show. He’s done Catwoman, Penguin, The Riddler, and this one. When he’s finished the complete set, all the bases will fit together to form Batman’s symbol. Nerdgasm!
As always, enjoy or don’t.
YouTube shortcut keys are as follows: J rewinds 10 seconds, K pauses, and L fast-forwards 10 seconds. This guy’s a talker, so you’ll use that last one a lot.
It would be fun to learn how to do this, doncha think?
I think I need Cinemax.

Bill Gaines explains Alfred E. Neuman’s origins in this clip from 1977.
Portland graphic artist Rian Callahan used to have a blog called Man Is the Warmest Place to Hide, where he posted these fake trading cards for The Shining. They are beautiful, and the attention to detail is astounding. Anyway, I think he works [BROKEN LINK] now.
