Jim Tyer Comics

There’s some really great and funny drawing in this Jim Tyer comic.

Tex Avery – "Field And Scream"

Gotta love this cartoon for Ed Benedict’s layouts alone and the loads of corny gags. Johnny Johnson’s backgrounds are something else here too. He’s just as good with more stylized backgrounds as he is with realistic ones. I suppose these are the types of backgrounds we could have seen in the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons had they had more time and money to spend on them.

MGM – "The Hungry Wolf"

“The Hungry Wolf” has some great animation in it, then again most of the MGM shorts from the Harman/Ising period on do. I love the scene when the wolf is chasing the mouse and tearing up the floor. Who incidentally, looks like a precursor to Jerry. Think Joe Barbera worked on this short? I don’t know who animated that scene or any other for that matter. My knowledge of the Harman/Ising era is pretty limited and what I did know I have since forgotten. My books have been collecting dust in a box.

Looks a little like Jerry huh?

Chuck Jones – "Scent-Imental Over You"

I realized I rarely post anything by Chuck Jones. What’s up with that? Though I don’t find all the Pepe Le Pew shorts to be that great I enjoy “Scent-Imental Over You” mostly for the design of the scrawny little thing below.

Harvey Eisenberg – Pete And Tweet

Here’s some more Eisenberg from Foxy Fagan #7. Great drawings.

Popeye Model Sheets

I received the Popeye Volume 3 DVD as a gift and have been enjoying it immensely. I wasn’t as familiar with the wartime era shorts so some of the cartoons are new to me. I forgot that I have model sheets that I haven’t gotten around to posting. These were sent to me by the Masked Stinker so let’s all give him a big thanks for sending them. THANKS! Update: Also, many thanks to Bob Jaques for sending me a much higher quality version of the model sheet below. The copy I had was a tease, you couldn’t really make out the details on these great poses.
