Rowland Wilson Scrapbooks – pt.2
- Last week, we offered some pages from the scrapbook of Rowland B. Wilson. This was graciously loaned to the Splog by Suzanne Wilson, and we have a treat this week. A second installment. these pages were a source of inspiration for Rowland, and the clippings, for us, are also a remarkable view of the animation and illustration product of the time.
Many thanks to Bill Peckmann for initiating this and to Suzanne for sending it.

I love these posts. Not only are the clippings fascinating from a artistic point of view but they are a fascinating look at the times as well. The page about the Hays Code is fascinating. Thanks again for sharing these!

Thanks again for sharing these examples.
The recurring images of Snap,Crackle and Pop reminded me that this exists:

It is something that the character designs changed between ’39 and during America’s involvement in WWII.
Ah, the commercial art of old animated shorts as commercials.

bah.
I don’t mean for this to come across as fussing or anything.
There’s a lot of images there so mistakes happen. It is a lot to put together and it is greatly appreciated.
Images 32 and 33, the Jose C. Sunday strips use the same thumbnail.
When clicked upon, they each go to the same image, another, different Jose C. comic, seemingly in the same series… perhaps it is the image which should be number 33?
The URL for the repeated jpeg is:
http://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/wp-content/D/_32-33-33.jpg
and it is linked to the image at this address:

You can delete this comment after you see it, Mr. Sporn. Tain’t needed for anyone beyond you anyhow.
Take care,
