Remembering Jackie Ormes, born today in 1911, who was the first black woman cartoonist with a nationally-distributed comic strip. Here she is in a 1953 newsreel.
Deeply in love with this Sponge comic drawn by Derek Drymon. That kid's design is hysterical
The March Hare from Alice in Wonderland. Might add color and a BG later.

Pixar has just been utterly gutted of almost all its veterans. My partner Jamie has made it, but many of our friends have not. It is incredibly devastating.
Cartoon Brew@cartoonbrew.bsky.social · 2w agoDespite already grossing more than $1.2 billion at the box office this year, Pixar is among the divisions hit hardest by Disney’s latest layoffs. Sources tell us future films will be made by smaller teams under a new “long and lean” production model. www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-right...
It's my first day at my new job! I'm excited for what's to come!!
Pixar lays off a lot of employees even though Toy Story 5 was a huge hit, will never not be baffling to me
Barely made it! Happy 80th to one of the greatest Looney Tunes ever made: "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery"!
Happy 80th anniversary to Bob Clampett's THE GREAT PIGGY BANK ROBBERY ('46)!
i bet it looks even better in imax
Mid-century mod redesign of the Mad Hatter, by the great Tom Oreb. Created for a Disney TV commercial in the 1950s.
Mae Questel really had pulled it off with her own Popeye voice. It goes to show how flexible she was with doing voices.
🌈Wally ~ Meditating in her Cave🌈@wallyaurora.bsky.social · 3w agoThe only time that Popeye was voiced by a woman- when his original VA got drafted in World War II, they actually got Olive Oyl (Mae Questel) to step in for the short "Shape Ahoy" (1945). Honestly really surreal but really cool too #animationhistory #cartoons #1940s
I think my personal favorite bit of animation in the George Liquor thing is these two reacting... so here's an upscaled version of just them

Hey all! Check out my new article for Cartoon Brew, where I highlight animated films of the past that warn about robot takeovers and technology gone mad. It's got lots of great clips and history: www.cartoonbrew.com/cartoon-stud...
While many agree Feed the Kitty (1952) or One Froggy Evening (1955) are some of Chuck Jones funniest shorts as a director, I think A Bear for Punishment (1951) is the most hilarious thing he ever directed. I lose my shit at the poem/showstopper scenes everytime. The silent reactions? Masterful.
Happy anniversary to The Great Mouse Detective! Here's some magnificent roughs of Ratigan done by Glen Keane
