Here’s an example of Frederick Opper’s strip And Her Name Was Maud from October 2, 1904. Click the image to read the strip.

Here’s another example of F.M. Howarth’s strip The Love of Lulu and Leander from December 31, 1905. Click the image to read the strip. It’s a full page New Years themed strip with a nice header by a different artist… I don’t know who the artist for it is, though. Anyone out there know?

THE CARTOON CRYPT: UGOKIE-KO-RI-NO-TATEHIKI (1933)

Posted on June 27, 2007 by STWALLSKULL

Here’s a GREAT surreal Japanese cartoon by Ikuo Oishi from 1933… the more I watch it the more I like it. If the Fleischer Brothers had been Japanese this is what they might have made. Parts of this remind me of Jim Woodring as well. It really makes me want to see more early Japanese animation. Don’t miss this one!
