Monkey Business - Harpo Playing the Harp
|
How can you not love Harpo? Next to Groucho, he is obviously the second in command of their chaotic, crazy, and out of control films. Plus he doesn’t speak and is a wonderfully subtle master of the harp in this bit. In the end, well it all just adds up. |
So Quiet On The Canine Front
|
Yep, I’ve got another zany black and white film from the 1930’s featuring dogs as people. Only this time, it means war. Dogs in biplanes….GENIUS!!!! |
The Dogway Melody - Queenie In Trouble
|
Ok, well maybe we Americans can also turn out some pure weirdness on our own, and we have been doing it since as far back as 1930. I had never even heard of The Dogway Melody until just this week. |
A Short History Of America - Robert Crumb
|
I distinctly remember this series of Crumb’s work being featured in Games Magazine back in the 80’s, because I was totally obsessed with that publication and collected it like crazy. Of course, this take on it is from the documentary Crumb. |
Porky in Wackyland
|
In 1994 this classic black and white cartoon was voted #8 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time and then later in 2000, it was deemed “culturally significant” by the United States Library of Congress. |
