Uncle John's Crazy Town: What if?

What if?

Speaking of crazy cross-overs, here's something for really sick people! I was recently noticing the similarity (and differences) between two '30's image motifs: The Flip The Frog Coloring Book cover from 1933 and the Scrappy Lynn BLB from 1935. Then I did something too perverted not to share!

Saffield 1933

Lynn 1935

A sick mind at work!

"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
