The In-Sect - cartoons

Tex Avery has any number of masterworks to his name, of course, but the one linked above holds a special place in my heart.

It’s not only Funny (yup, with a capital F) in its own right, it’s also, by now, testament to the speed at which language changes – watch it and count all the expressions that have fallen out of use since 1951, even when they were sparklin’ new and ‘edgy’ back then.

I think it’s high time to have an updated version of this for today’s idiom – in fact, I almost wonder that I couldn’t yet find anything of that sort on YouTube.

I started drawing cartoons again this weekend! Doodling and drawing caricatures of my teachers started my career more than twenty years ago. So I went from cartoonist to illustrator to graphic designer to media designer and now: Back! You can download a high-res version, if you like it.
