These pages aren’t signed, but they’re certainly the work of genius cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman! I came across these pages while flipping through dozens of comic scans…looking for some cool comic oddity to share on the blog. But THIS! *swoon* Based on the ever-evolving cartooning styles during Harvey Kurtzman’s pre-MAD “Hey Look” comics, I’d peg these as being drawn around 1947.
From “Little Aspirin” #1 July 1949
The Little Aspirin comic was published in 1949, but I’m betting these filler pages were sitting around for a couple years before they were published.
Heroes don't take vacations. Crime does not nap. Apparently, neither does indy animator Jim Lujan!
Jim Lujan is making some of the best indy animation around; he calls it Ghettomation. No fancy stuff. Just good stories, compelling characters and awesome funked-out art.
Jim Lujan is a one-man animation studio -- he writes, draws, animates, does all voices and music too! And he just keeps going and going. Jim's been making cartoons for years...sometimes there's a new one every six weeks or so!
See how happy they make me?
As you can see in this cartoon, Hittin' Switchez," Jim has a marvelous way of capturing the bleak suburban strip-mall culture of southern California. A totally unique take on the weirdness of the real world...
