Thanks for all your nice comments, H1... No I don't know Terre Roche.

Sally -Thank you for posting this one - wonderful to see you in front of the camera. You remind me of Terre Roche, one of the Roches, also from New Jersey. Also an extremely creative, friendly and kind person...You didnt discuss the music, but when I just heard those first few notes of the Quasi soundtrack, it was like a Proustian experience. I found the Cheap Suits long after I first saw Quasi, not knowing the connection. Now I know - Thank you so much! (Do you know Terre?)

Hi Sally--Sally - Great to hear from you! The "Ghost of Stephen Foster" was directed by Matt Nastuk and his buddy Raymond Persi, both "Simpsons" directors. Unfortunately Matt is too busy to do much else, but he's got some amazing sketchbooks I'd love to see him publish someday.

Snarton, thanks for telling me about "Ghost of Stephen Foster." It's great. Has your friend made other cartoons as well? I'd love to see them.

Sally-- I've had "Quasi at the Quackadero" stuck in my head ever since I saw it 30 years ago! There's a scene with background moans and sighs that gave me chills to see/hear it again. Thanks for making it and warping my brain!Check out a friend of mine's Betty-Boopish "Ghost of Stephen Foster" cartoon also on youtube.

The variety of animation is actually what makes it so interesting, perhaps it's less interesting when it just tries to be like a live action film. Obviously your work isn't completely abstract, but it follows in the steps in the animation pioneers (such as Cohl, and later Messmer and Fleischer) who wanted an inventive humorous style, which exploited the characteristics of the medium than tried to hide them.

Yes exactly, animation is capable of doing anything so why not do that. It's exactly the same for comics, some great independant or underground comix have shown how that form is virtually unlimited in imaginative potential, same with animation. Animation I actually see as related to experimental film in some ways, it can push at the borders of the medium, being inventive within the structure and form as well as the subject.

Oh my gosh! I haven't seen any of these cartoons since the seventies. It's wonderful you're uploading your work to YouTube so a wider audience can see your wonderful terrific stuff. Your cartoons are like the successors to the Fleischer Studios on acid.
