Follies of the Mad Men #101
Why can't SpongeBob be as upfront about his nicotine addiction as Fred and Barney? (Note: I created this post prior to its release days ago--and then Boing-Boing scooped me! Oh, well, great minds and all that...)

The Cobweb Hotel
If this cartoon were a movie with a human cast, it would be more gruesome than the whole Saw franchise.

Forget Ben Stiller and Night at the Museum. Here's the true weirdness behind the scenes at this new French museum.

Milt Gross
I am currently enjoying a great book about cartoonist Milt Gross. (See link at right.)
If you watch the embedded cartoon, you'll get a sense of why he was idolized by R. Crumb and the founding artists of Mad magazine for his supreme wackiness.

Just Imagine!
I can almost believe that I myself, starting from scratch and given several years, might be able to handcraft the 433 parts of a 1940s phone and assemble them into a working unit.
But how could I build the billion-dollar computer-chip fabrication plant in order to create one chip or hard-drive for an iPhone?

The Trembling Veil of Bones
I can't find any info on when the full-length version of this cartoon will debut, but the trailer sure looks weird enough to intrigue me!
