It's that time again...

After the relative seriousness of the last two posts it seems like it's WTF time again here at Crazy Town. I first mentioned 'Dutch Treat' here. These were in the days before I had figured out how to upload video but now, lucky you, you can have the fully immersive Blogger Video experience. I can practically smell the tulips!

Welcome to the future...

"During the span of years from 1914, I have made efforts to retain the "cartoony" effect. That is, I did not welcome the trend of the industry to go "arty". It was, and still is, my opinion that a cartoon should represent, in simple form, the cartoonist's mental expression. In other words the "animated oil painting" has taken the place of the flashiness and delightfulness of the simple cartoon.

In my opinion, the industry must pull back. Pull away from the tendencies toward realism. It must stay in it's own backyard of "The Cartoonist's Cartoon." The cartoon must be a portrayal of the expression of the true cartoonist, in simple, unhampered cartoon style. The true cartoon is a great art in it's own right. It does not need the assistance or support of "Artiness." In fact, it is actually hampered by it." - Max Fleischer
