Cartooning – 2
- It seems like ages ago that I posted the first half of this book. It was written by art director/designer, Jack Sidebotham who had a large presence in the making of the original Piels Bros. campaign done by UPA NY. He also was closely involved with the Scholastic Rock films.
As mentioned in the first post, Sidebotham used the Piels Brothers as characters to waltz through the varied uses of cartooning for this book published by Graumbacher in the 70s.
The book was something I remembered from the period but never purchased for myself. When Bill Peckmann reminded me of its existence, I found a copy on line and bought it to add to my collection and to share with you.
This second half of the book covers the aspects of cartooning that might be more interesting to an audience of animatoin fans. Here it is:

Cartooning, I remember that. It was what we did before computers and they renamed it “animations.”

Must have been happy days when an artist wasn’t supposed to sell each and every right of his characters to the clients, so he could use them on other stuff as well …

I have a huge library of Bob & Ray skits, thanks to an uncle who was a broadcast engineer at (the old) WOR.
Unfortunately, I can’t post them on the internet. Not only out respect for the guys, but because I might be sued if I did!
So I’ll continue to enjoy them, privately. Long live Bob & Ray!
