Hanna Barbera Treasury Book -- This Time They Got it RIGHT!

    Hanna Barbera Treasury
    I just came across this new art book about Hanna Barbera's golden years called, "Hanna Barbera Treasury." There is so much wonderfulness to this giant-sized love-letter that I had to share it with all of you.

    The Hanna Barbera Treasury is written by Jerry Beck, with photography by Tim Mantoani published by Insight Editions. It measures a big 11 1/2" tall by 11 inches wide, and it's about 3/4 inch thick with 157 memorabilia-stuffed pages. If you're impatient like me, it costs $45 in bookstores, but Amazon has it for $29.70 (as of Nov 29th).

    Now, 157 pages may not sound that substantial, but what you can't tell from that number is that every oversized page is PACKED with photos of REAL production artwork (not those awful fakey-fake publicity "cels.") -- most of which was apparently photographed from original archival artwork! There are pictures of storyboards, layouts, animation drawings, model sheets, development sketches, character designs, etc...stuff that has never seen the light of day until now. I've been waiting for someone to put together this kind of book for ages.

    There are also tons of beautiful photos of vintage H-B collectible and toys, like plastic dolls and View-Master reels. If you remember the groundbreaking art direction in Chip Kidd's Batman Animated art book from the nineties, you can imagine what this looks like.

    The other feature that really expands the page-count is that there are tons of little envelopes and pockets and pamphlets bound into this book that contain beautiful facsimiles of trading cards, full-color 12-page mini-comic book reprints, Model sheets, storyboard sequences and vintage activity-book pages.

    Hanna Barbera Treasury Yogi Bear pages

    There are separate chapters for all of the early Hanna-Barbera stars (in chronological order), including a chapter EACH devoted to:
    • Tom and Jerry
    • Ruff and Reddy
    • Huckleberry Hound
    • Pixie and Dixie
    • Yogi Bear
    • Quick-Draw McGraw
    • Augie Doggie
    • Snagglepuss
    • The Flintstones
    • Top Cat
    • The Jetsons
    • Magilla Gorilla
    • Peter Potamus
    • Sqiddly Diddly
    • Touche Turtle
    • Lippy The Lion
    • Jonny Quest
    • Space Ghost
    • Atom Ant
    • Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole
    • Frankenstein, Jr and the Impossibles
    • Birdman
    • Wacky Races
    • Space Ghost
    • Scooby-Doo
    ...and THEY STOP RIGHT THERE! Oh, happy day!

    There's no need to pretend that the entire history of Hanna Barbera is totally golden...most of their output after the late sixties was totally forgettable. But they wisely chose to focus on the best of the best!

    If you felt horribly cheated by that awful Hanna Barbera Cartoons coffee-table book from 1999, this new book should make you forget all about that publishing nightmare. This new book a winner through and through! Caveat: I haven't READ the text yet, so I'm looking at this purely from a visual standpoint. I'm guessing that based on the love and devotion that obviously went into the art direction of this book, they probably didn't skimp on the textual accuracy either.

    The text is written by animation historian and Cartoon Brew-meister Jerry Beck, so I'm looking forward to reading it and posting another review later to complete the picture.

    Now go out and buy it! We want to encourage this kind of thing! ^_^

    PS...if you're in LA on Dec.1st, say Hi to Jerry and get your book signed! More info at the Animation ArchiveSource URL: https://aminefairy.blogspot.com/2007/11/

Tack's Cartoon Tips for the Aspiring Cartoonist

    Tack's Cartoon Tips for the Aspiring Cartoonist How to draw cartoons

    Look at what Dave Blog posted on his Flickr page: Tack's Cartoon Tips for the Aspiring Professional!

    This is an amazing little how-to cartooning book from way back in 1923 by cartoonist B. "Tack" Knight.

    In just 29 pages he teaches aspiring professional artists how to draw cartoons the old-fashioned way! Some of the pages are corny and not very useful today, but MOST of this book features rock-solid basic building-blocks for learning how to draw in that old "bigfoot" early 2oth century print cartoon style.


    Topics include:

    • Expressions
    • How to draw HANDS (this page is really great!)
    • Hats, Shoes, Wrinkles (as in clothes and drapery)
    • Lessons on drawing KIDS and ANIMALS
    • How to draw BACKGROUNDS
    • and even a bit on Cartoon Lettering
    How to draw Cartoon Hands from Tack's Cartoon Tips for the Aspiring Cartoonist

    Warning: there's some old-school racially insensitive material in here. What people thought was funny back then just makes people mad today. Don't say I didn't warn you!

    To read the whole book as a slideshow, (I think it's easiest to read it this way)

Sherlock the Monk and Chuck Duck Funny Animal Comics Scans



    If you want to learn how to draw a monkey,
    or just how to draw FUNNY,
    you can't do much better than to soak up
    the cartoon craziness of these great pages
    from Fawcett's Funny Animals #55 from 1947.

    -----------------
    Look at that great kick in the penultimate panel!

    BOOT! ...The END!

    According to an interview in the Fawcett Companion, Sherlock the Monk and Chuck was one of many Fawcett Funny Animal features created by Chad Grothkopf. I don't know whether this particular story was done by him or not. Looks like Milton Stein to me, but I hope that better eyes than mine will set me straight.


    UPDATE/Correction -- Super-Comics-Spotter Charlie J just showed me a couple posts on the ASIFA Cartoon Archive that convince me that Jim Tyer is the master cartoonist behind these pages. Take a look at these funny animal comics at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive and see what you think...

    CLICK on the images below to jump over
    to the ARCHIVE and see the comics pages!

    Jim Tyer

    Jim Tyer comics

    Yep, I think Charlie J nailed it.
    So, it looks like the amazing Jim Tyer
    strikes again!
    Thanks, Charlie!

    There are quite a few fantastic stories in this comic book; If you want to see more, please leave a comment below and let me know -- In the meantime, enjoy!
