Meddling with the very fabric of time and space itself, Part 1: So, is gravity a socialist plot? Maybe it really is a parachute of big-government viciousness feeding on the blood of the fallen, but Mark Fiore thinks it might be time to pull the damned cord--metaphorically speaking.

Meddling with the fabric of time and space itself, Part 3: Last week's toon review featured 1948 Tex Avery animation where things got a little bit surreal. If you thought some of that Daliesque imagery in "The Cat that Hated People" seemed familiar, there's a reason: For some reason, that imagery was passed around--let's be generous and say "borrowed"--by several artists Warner Bros., MGM, and even TerryToons from the 1930s through the 1950s. You can read the list of cartoons that lifted those ideas and images here, but today we've got the 1938 Bob Clampett black-and-white from Warner Bros. that started it all: The one--the only--"Porky in Wackyland." Brace yourself.
