Hail to the Crying Hero
Continuing my musings on Paul Terry and his characters.
The Mysterious Paul Terry

What Is Your “Best Year In Cartoons?”
I thought it might be fun for both Jerry and I to list some of ‘our’ favorite years in animation.
35mm Print of “Club Sandwich” (1931)
The cartoon seems to be set in France, but why? I have no idea.
“Hunting in 1950” (1926)
There’s a lot of fun gags here to make an enjoyable but somewhat thin-plot-ed cartoon.
“A Lad and His Lamp” (c. 1947 reissue of silent Aesop’s Fable)

Heckle and Jeckle Tales
From theatrical shorts from 20th Century Fox, to the Filmation Saturday Morning series – then thrown to the curbside by Paramount – an overview of those two talking magpies.
Aesop Fables: “Land O’ Cotton” (1929)
Scanned from a reversal print made from a rare Kodascope 16mm print from the 30s, just as it was becoming unprojectable.
“The Magic Slipper” (1948)
Some good, pure cartoon escapism is on the plate for this week’s cartoon – take a little break and enjoy a Terrytoon in HD, from a rare, spliceless Kodachrome! print.
