Those of us who has followed Mr Peanut Butter Sandwich knows that he every once in a while gets tired of his blog and starts over in an other shape. Now he has done it again! Last time, when he closed down Earnest Little Cartoon Guy, I and several others had a hard time finding him so for all of you here's a link to the new blog: Biggest Part Of My Life Is Me.
Update: He says about the new blog "I think I wanted a blog that's a bit more personal and a bit more like a diary with links and other stuff I dig intertwined, so to speak."
PS He also says he'll keep the old blog but he won't update it.

The Groovy Age of Horror has been doing a lot about Naziploitation (Nazi exploitation). I guess that the concept means pulp books, comics and films with a Nazi theme. Sex and violence are the other two main ingredients. Sometimes it makes pure porn with Nazis exploiting their dominating position. If this, for whatever reason, sounds interesting you know where to go.

Just a few cool looking thrift store record covers. Sorry for the poor photo quality, but you get the main idea ...I think.

Yes! It's finally here. I've asked Bedazzled for it before and now at last everybody can enjoy this fantastic video. Just to make sure you'll watch it I've posted some teaser screenshots for you. But of course it doesn't even give you half an idea.
Mother Nature, Father Time was both the name of a single and an album from Brook Benton in 1965. Neither of them did very well on the charts but that's neither here nor there today. No, for today you'll see the video which is ranked #1 on my weirdo chart. Enjoy!
Watch it at YouTube or go to Bedazzled for other options.
Note: For Swedish readers I'd just like to say that I saw this at least once on the TV show Nattsudd with Svante Grundberg and Björn Wallde some time between -85 and -88 and was instantly smitten. And the sounds and images has stuck in my memory since. And now you know. Soon they will have stuck to yours.

"T. S. Sullivant is one of the most important cartoonists in the history of the medium. He pioneered many of the elements of caricature and anthropomorphism that we now take for granted."
I reckon this should be enough for wanting to continue reading the article about T. S. Sullivant over at ASIFA.

A year ago I uploaded a few snippets of the Soviet made Winnie the Pooh which I thought were truly delightful. And now I'm happy to say that YouTube signature kuba0000 has done the good deed of uploading full episodes in 4 parts. They were made in 1969-1972 by the acclaimed film company Soyuzmultfilm, known for a number of celebrated animations like the series about Cheburashka and short films like Hedgehog In The Fog and The Heron and the Crane (Watch them at Videos With Bibi!).
For your convenience I have collected the Soviet-made Winnie-the-Pooh-episodes into one playlist. (see below). I found them through this article in the blog Think In Pictures where the image of Pooh is discussed. For me Pooh has many faces; I love the originals from the book made by Englishman E H Shepherd, however one can't deny that the Disney version exists in one's conscience but now they have both been joined by the fresh images of the Soviet Pooh. I hope you too will enjoy him, although there are no subtitles. You probably know the stories well-enough to follow. Follow?
PS. You'd better hurry watching it. You never know for how long it'll be available!
