Wednesday Runaround – My Bunged Up Head

Bleeuurgh. Sorry. Con plague has hit. Not well.

ChartWatch: Nick Barrucci should feel a lot better though. Among non-Premier publishers, Dynamite is storming the charts with the top four books for the month, and eleven of the top twenty, with The Boys and Green Hornet books leading the charge.

GlitchWatch: The Amazon UK cancellations have come through regarding glitch pre-orders – but I understand a few people may still get copies of books at silly prices that were due out this week.

(Holy shit, there's Ernest Borgnine as a character called the Records Keeper!) It's messy, but hardly gory. Goofy? That's more like it. And it's absolutely, thoroughly enjoyable

Between the past couple of weeks of my Center for Cartoon Studies classes this semester—Survey of the Drawn Story I and Drawing Workshop I—wherein we've explored caricature, xenophobic caricature and propaganda cartoons, racist iconography, approaches to drawing different ethnicities, races, and cultures, and much more, I've decided to spice this week's Myrant with some rare images relevant to the subject that you've possibly never encountered before.

Warners Goes To Eleven

It has apparently been announced that Warner Archive — the folks who put out those simple, special-featureless DVDs of treasures from the Time-Warner vaults — will soon release a DVD of the so-called "Censored Eleven."

These are, for the record, Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land, Sunday Go to Meetin' Time, Clean Pastures, Uncle Tom's Bungalow, Jungle Jitters, The Isle of Pingo Pongo, All This and Rabbit Stew, Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs, Tin Pan Alley Cats, Angel Puss and Goldilocks and the Jivin' Bears.
