      The nation stopped and wept for 3 months when he passed. So did traffic (yes, that’s a public road).

        I didn’t know he was dead. I didn’t even know he was alive. No one tells me anything. I had decided that his appearance against an audience was second only to Paula Shires. But now I don’t know. Now that I know he’s dead, maybe I have to reconsider and to re-evaluate my priorities.

        You can never set foot in the same priorities twice, so they say.

        Edit: Edit: He studied with someone who studied with Fyodor Chaliapin? Why didn’t I know? No one tells me anything until it’s too late. They should have played this at the end of Fight Club.

          I wish I could help, I really do, but this is not something you should let anyone influence you in. Some decisions are just that - hard. One thing I can promise to do for you though is to let you know as soon as I find out someone new is alive.

          They also say, don’t make decisions on an empty stomach.

            I know that one. I’ve been meaning to draw this for you for a while now, but I just can’t seem to get around to it.

              B.

              I’m not even surprised. I already know of your immense knowledge of animated deep cuts. I made (some) effort to find you something where nobody says anything and is a little bit topical.

                Believe it or not, no matter how late I ever stayed up, The National Film Board of Canada never played that one on the T.V. It’s new to me.

                    It’s relatively easy to publish a cartoon like that in 1946. Obviously I understand that it’s not necessarily about what it’s about, but it’s still easy to publish a cartoon like that in 1946. I’ve always held the troublesome opinion that you can’t make a truly great cartoon unless you’re at risk of getting beheaded. And I don’t feel like I’ve made any strides today towards getting my head chopped off.
