Renaissance Masters 3
- I saw The Fantastic Mr. Fox last night. It is fantastic; I loved it. The actors, of course, were all superb, and the klunky animation works well with the master plan Wes Anderson brought to it. This is a good example of what one strong-minded director can bring to an animated film (feature or short). The feature deserves all the excellently positive reviews it’s getting.
- It’s Saturday, and here’s part 3 of Tom Hachtman ‘s previously unpublished strip, Renaissance Masters. He drew this in a green-covered paper notebook with blue lines on every page. There’s no doubt it should have been published somewhere, and I’m glad to oblige as best I can.
Here’re the links to Part 1 and Part 2 if you want to read previously posted cartoons.
To get you back up to speed, I’ll start with the final pages of last week’s entry. Enjoy.

Michael, I totally concur on “Mr. Fox.” To cite a couple of examples of its crude innocence (which A.O. Scott totally misreads), the animals ill-fitting costumes actually highlight the film’s essential dialectic between their wild nature and their aspirations toward civilization. Another is, in the middle of sophisticated, witty banter, their split-second reversion to bestiality: eating, fighting, hunting, digging. Altogether, delightful.

Neither witches’ curse nor confident carving, seductive smile nor beams of sunlight…it was the BEAT I tell ya. The BEAT!

Hey, forget psychotherapy. No blaming of parents & sucky childhoods could help this crew. I would like to see Count Cavelli be mandated by the Pope to undergo gay sex rehab! Nothing less is required.

NO, NOT THE FINAL INSTALLMENT. SURELY A MISSPRINT!
the old italian song,
goes very roughly,
“When you not gotta nuff, and you need a much more stuff,
that’s
a more!
When you just gotta start, and you not played you part,
that’s
A MORE.
Laughter ring, ting a linga ling, churcha bells sing, what a ding,
a singnore,

WE MORE MORE!

Singned,

Hey, I gotta finish this mural of Tuscany for Carmella and THEN I get back to the Italian Renaissance. Tell your boss not to mess with the boys in New Jersey. Thanks for the comments.
