Roger Ramjet - "Woodsman" - clip 1 opening scene

Look at these hilarious drawings!

This is great design. It has all the principles of technical good design, but on top of those it's funny looking too. It's like it's making fun of the 60s style.

You might think it's odd that I would get excited over that, but it's pretty rare to see funny drawings in the cartoon business.

Opposing poses-funny body poses, great balance of negative and filled space in the designs.

Funny voices, funny cuts.

This is the opening scene of one of my favorite Ramjet cartoons. The dialogue so far is mere exposition to set up the story, but the animator/director made it funny.





Even this seemingly simple background is funny. It's also great design and super organic, with lots of balance.



HEY BOB KURTZ! WHO DREW THIS ONE?
