Picture Postcard: The Three Stooges in Have Rocket Will Travel

29 May

May 29, 2012

Whoever directed these guys, and whoever designed that rocket, and whoever colored this still, knew what they were doing.

I think that picture speaks for itself, don’t you? It’s their first “full length” motion picture.

But in case it doesn’t, take a look at this close up of Larry’s face:

Yeah, I’d love to have been around during this photo shoot. I can only imagine what the director said to Larry to get that look. “Thrust harder Larry, thrust into Moe harder! Curley Joe, thrust harder into Larry!”

The Saturday Comics: More Little Nemo Homages

26 May

May 26, 2012

Some time back I featured Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay. Go ahead and click on this link, I’ll wait.

Towards the bottom I showed some modern homages to the classic strip:

Spongebob:

Sandman:

Since then I have come across a few more.

Here is one from Mutts, which is a modern classic and a strip you should check out, which you can by clicking this link.

Next up are two pages from  Superman Secret Files and Origins #1, which was published in 1998. Stuart Immonen did the honors here:

There are more pages but this gives you the flavor. If you don’t know Little Nemo, you are clearly missing out on a strip that casts a long shadow.
