Another interesting thing I noticed is that toonpool.com member Lucido5 has put up a collection about what he calls “strange coincidences, paranormal phenomena and extragalactics simil+(r)arities.” It’s about cartoons that look similar to other cartoons. While I think that it’s a good thing somebody takes the time to protocol such similarities in cartoons from all over the world, I am kinda put off by the Lucido’s statement that the collection is “not about allegations [and] only [a] warning note”. A warning from having similar ideas? Is he going to break my legs next time I have the same idea as him? Still, it’s fun to browse the collection. As a bonus meta-joke, he seems to have lifted half of it from another member’s collection on cartoon similarities.
Cartoons of Interest
My favourite cartoon this week is “Father-Son Bonding 2″ by Age Morris. It shows one of those special moments between two generations of men and it’s boldly colored. The position of the captions perfectly visualizes the pace of action in this otherwise static pictures. I also love speculating about where dad got this rumor from.
I would also like to mention this one by Mark Lynch, since I have always found myself struggeling with those unwritten rules.
If you have some time on your hands, you should check out Zardoyas’ gallery – especially his black-and-and white illustrations. Here are some of my favourites: 1,2,3,4.
