Video Find of the Day
Two cartoons depicting cartoon warfare. The first is a color cartoon introduced by a black and white Mickey Mouse who is a much bigger jerk than the 1950s Mickey I grew up with.
Color Cartoon From 1934
The second is an incredible Japanese cartoon from the same year. It looks like a Japanese rip-off of Felix the Cat taking part in a defense of an island (representing Japan) from an air force of flying Mickey Mouses, that turn out to easily popped. Clearly, even in 1934, Mickey Mouse was a symbol of US power.

New Yorker Cartoons
Video Find of the DayI was naturally looking for something Irish-related to post today. So I did a YouTube search on "irish." What I got was an animated New Yorker cartoon.
I guess it's been a while since I checked the New Yorker website, because I hadn't noticed that they had replaced the continual slideshow of archived cartoons with animations of a select few. I think I prefer the old way, but this is a nice change. If only we could have both. (I think the print archives are still at their Cartoonbank, but I can't tell for sure.)
The animations are done by RingTales. They have a YouTube account, also called RingTales, which features them in a two-for-one format.
