Hope everyone has a good Tuesday! Here’s a bit of Tuesday Motivation from Lucy Van Pelt:

Not all baseball nicknames are appreciated:

The comic books, while fun in small doses, really miss the point of the cartoon shorts. It’s like they crossed Road Runner with Disney’s Three Pigs/Big Bad Wolf comics.

At least he’s not bitter about it…oh, wait…

Do rocks have mothers?
Lucy always has to dump on everything, doesn’t she? She can’t even let Snoopy enjoy his rock collection?

There are people out there still making fantastic comic book covers:

“WAK! If this is the EZ Folding Chair, then I don’t want to see the complicated one…”

If people didn’t secretly want to embrace their laziness, Garfield wouldn’t have been such a big success.

Being a fictional character, Mickey is at the mercy of whoever happens to be writing or drawing him at the time. But Chuck Jones already made that picture with Daffy Duck…

“Y’ can’t blame me! I don’t run th’ company, I’m just th’ mascot!”

I agree with the energy and spirit part, but I wouldn’t want to be young now. I think that growing up in the time and place that I did made up a good deal of who I am and what I wanted to do creatively. I would be a totally different person if I were growing up now. (Being young once was enough…)

Oh?

Now every time I see library cartoons, I think of @bakertoons.com and Lauren Ipsum.

I know people get obsessed about using the “right” materials to draw comics, but if you have the chops you can draw something professional with a No. 2 pencil and photocopy paper. I sorta wish more did this.

The ducks are alive and living in European comics, some of which have been printed in the US by Fantagraphics over the years.

When I saw Fantasia 2000, I remember thinking that it was obvious that someone at Disney had no confidence in the premise attracting an audience, because they stuffed so many celebrities in the film introducing the animated sequences.

Post a Superman:

The funny thing is that I never read Batman or Superman comics when I was younger, but I’ve been reading some of the early ones from the Golden and Silver Age (and whatever age the 1970s counts as) as an adult.

I remember that cartoon. I don’t remember watching it, but I remember seeing it advertised.
