I just re-watched American Pop and followed it up with your Adult Party Cartoon interview, intro, and Firedogs 2. My friend Flash really appreciated it. We were rolling with laughter by the time we got to the end of Firedogs 2. Eddie and you are such great storytellers, John.

My roommate has a thing for American Pop. She says its one of her favorite movies but she gets creeped out by his crazier stuff like Coonskin."Creamed corn, candy corn, popcorn, cracker jack! You're the prize in my box!"

Huzzah for Bakshi! I've had this book on pre-order from Amazon for a while and am eagerly awaiting it. Been a fan of his since the 70s!And say what you will about his version of "Lord of the Rings", at least he stuck to the story!

Great! It's about f%#@$%$@n time! The art looks fantastic. If Ralph would pay me the money he owes me I'd buy it! Thanks John and Chris and Ralph.

For anyone who wants to know, Coonskin and Hey Good Lookin' are both on youtube split up into pieces. If anyone knows where I can see Wizards, I would appreciate it.Thanx.

I saw Fritz the Cat a few years ago, just saw "Coonskin" and "Hey Good Lookin" this week. If there is one thing I love about Ralph Bakshi's movies, other than the fact that he doesn't work inside "Hollywood's" demands, the urban and dark feel.The way they drew the houses, and the city in that bird's eye view on an angle. It is beatiful, I would hang a poster of that in my room. They did that in

Guess who animated for 3 weeks on FRITZ THE CAT before getting fired and / or quitting?None other than Rod Scribner.Did Ralph have any stories about Scribner, John?- trevor.

"I also want to buy "the animator's survival kit", is it a good book to learn animation?"John's right, although I love Richard Williams' book because it teaches ALL types of animation, not just the traditional, and it does a better job, in my opinion, of adhering to styles. Doing commercial work, which is the bulk of Williams' experience, he had to learn to adapt to very many different styles,

I saw AMERICAN POP as a kid and never forgot it. He is an influence on all animators, cartoonist, graphic designers and graffitti artists everywhere. I need this book!!!!!

Oh cartoonsteve just reminded me, Christmas in Tattertown will be coming to DVD. I don't know when but Ralph said so on his website in August.

Right on! That's Ralph in the second row farthest to the left. Who are some of the other guys in the photo?I picked up Heavy Traffic at Amoeba a few weeks ago. It's a great film. Think about how praised it would be if that came out now!It conveys that great night time grit feeling of NYC in the 70s. Not enough grit around in animation these days. Persepolis maybe, but I haven't seen it yet. Heavy

2008-01-28T20:49:00.000-08:00

Of the APC cartoons, I like the Fire Dogs 2 the best because I can really relate to the Bakshi story. Being from Montreal, it isn't hard to find one or two people who have any combination of his quirks over there. The smoking, the messy house, getting up in the middle of the night yelling, having a way with women, the "let's move in together" thing, all that.There's a really cool interview from

"Is Mr. Bakshi producing any animation projects right now?"Well, he WAS David, until he ran out of funds. He was making a film called THE LAST DAYS OF CONEY ISLAND, as PC had mentioned. I would love to work for him too.

Ralph created the toon James Hound at Terrytoons I believe and he cut his teeth in the industry on Deputy Dawg at that same studio too if I'm not mistaken.Is Mr. Bakshi producing any animation projects right now? I would love to work for him in any capacity. Hell, my current contract ends in less than two weeks, we're all going to be looking for work pretty soon.Speaking of Bakshi's animation,

2008-01-28T18:04:00.000-08:00

I've never seen much of Bakshi's work (though I have heard of him), but these drawings are great, especially the comic.
