A Glimpse Of Well Loved Cartoonists Drawing Long Time Favorites

If you love the "Funnies" you're in for a real treat with this short film. (I saw it on TCM 04-28-2005) For animation buffs Li'l Abner has a ten second spot at the end where he comments to the audience. (It is not revealed who does the voice of Li'l Abner.) It starts off with shots of old comic pages like Little Nemo in Slumberland and quickly works it's way to the 1945 era of comic art. Hard to believe some of these strips like Blondie and Gasoline Alley are still being drawn. A real gem from the Turner Vault. It really made me smile. Turner should do a DVD box set of Shorts like these they are a real glimpse into the past.
