Suicide Food: Suicidefood Book Report: Endgame
http://suicidefood.blogspot.com/2009/08/suicidefood-book-report-endgame.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Suicidefood Book Report: Endgame. Suicidefoodism is not just for tobacco-stained hillbillies with paunchy overalls anymore. Now, even the most earnest earthies can claim the "food" animals are doing it all for us. Smoked salmon] tastes so good. I return to the refrigerator, open it, pull out more salmon. It says… "Remember the bargain." I eat the food. Close the door. Try not to think about it. If you will help us survive." (Emphasis added.). They have achieved a near-holy state...

Suicide Food: Crawdad Creek BBQ
http://suicidefood.blogspot.com/2008/10/crawdad-creek-bbq.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. It's as though every link in the chain of being is content. The hat-tipping farmer/pig is happy to represent a barbecuing concern. The crawdad is happy to have been fished from the creek and delivered into a land of deathly salvation. Brief Interlude: This all takes place in Boiling Spring Lakes, North Carolina. Does that mean the pig is fixing to dunk the cheerful crawdad in the boiling spring? In other words, is he hauling him out, or getting ready to put him in? I must go wa...

Suicide Food: Sauced Pigs Bar-B-Que
http://suicidefood.blogspot.com/2011/12/sauced-pigs-bar-b-que.html
Saturday, December 17, 2011. We love animals-as-food punning. Ask anyone. ( Exhibit A. These two pigs are sauced, you see—drunk on the glory of their impending deaths. They're also sauced, as in slathered with flavor-enhancing goop. Of course, the one on the right looks like he's had a touch too much camaraderie and reminiscing about the paltry pleasures of living. Addendum: More sauce-related wordplay, this time courtesy of a decapitated pig head wreathed in a bandanna of fire. What is Suicide Food?

Suicide Food: Luv-a-Duck
http://suicidefood.blogspot.com/2011/01/luv-duck.html
Thursday, January 13, 2011. Luv-a-Duck, we are told, is "Australia's Favourite Duck." The praise does seem to have gone to the bird's head. The way she lowers her eyes, tilting her bill—oh, she knows how they feel about her. She knows they think she's something special, all right. Now, we know and you. Know what they mean by "love" (pardon us: luv. And "favorite" (sorry: favourite. But the matter that concerns us here is what the duck. To which the duck replies, "Luv me as you will. I'm yours.". Dont wor...

Suicide Food: Hard Ball Farms
http://suicidefood.blogspot.com/2011/08/hardball-farms.html
Wednesday, August 3, 2011. We're going to be honest. What really draws us in here is the stunning, totally unironic aptness of this place's name. Yes, there's the whole pig-with-the-cheap-crown angle. But after all this time, another pig seduced by the false promise of a better life—a life of clout and authority—hardly has the power to move us. We've seen the Nahunta dupe. The Pork Palace pawn. And the Brooklyn Boob. And that's just the pigs! So forgive us our lack of enthusiasm. What is Suicide Food?

The DarmokTheGreen Experience: August 2014
http://darmokthegreen.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Rambling about various things I find interesting. I hope you find it interesting as well. Monday, 4 August 2014. Variations on a theme, working backwards in time. Fans of classic Warner Brothers cartoons might observe that Isadore "Friz" Freleng was quite fond of re-using gags and story ideas, often transplanting them onto different characters. (See my earlier post on " Curtain Razor. Here is another example, his 1957 cartoon "Bugsy and Mugsy". Stooge for a Mouse:. Well, this is the story Freleng would u...

The DarmokTheGreen Experience: February 2013
http://darmokthegreen.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Rambling about various things I find interesting. I hope you find it interesting as well. Monday, 18 February 2013. The Warner Brothers studio's first character, Bosko, fits the usual design pattern - white face, black nose, solid black eyes, and black. hair? Which seems quite a bizarre claim to make about a white-faced character, but when Harman and Ising took the character to MGM, they made him (and Honey) obviously dark-skinned human characters. I suppose when you think of the stereotyped depictio...

Rambling about various things I find interesting. I hope you find it interesting as well. Friday, 8 April 2011. From Bob Clampett's "The Bashful Buzzard" (1945) You won't like this dragon when he's angry. Not only does he suddenly grow himself some teeth, but his head changes shape and size! By the way, anyone know where those "bringing home a baby bumblebee" lyrics orginated? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

First of all, I'm not sure when he added this, but thank you to Michael Sporn. For adding a link to my blog on his "Splog"! Now, it's high time I returned to the Dumbo storyboards. He posted up several months ago. Speaking of humans, this pose for Mrs Jumbo and the way she holds Dumbo are much more anthropomorphic than the approach they finally settled on. The ̶...
