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- It’s Saturday, and here’s part 3 of Tom Hachtman ‘s previously unpublished strip, Renaissance Masters.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.

    Completely brilliant. Can’t wait for the next part.

    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,
    what’s a deal, hey, bocha veal,
    WE MORE MORE!

    You listnea up, hackey dog? Otherwise, we senda Joe, from da Bronx.
    You draw, or you might end up in da bay.
    Don’t be a fool, gotzong gool.

    Singned,

    Luigi Dom Perignone, for
    Sal Manilla, for
    The Boss

    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.
