Comics: Milt Gross Courtesy of Will And Marc

This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 2 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great posts about print cartoonists.


Today's post is brought to you through the courtesy of Marc Deckter and Will Finn. These two great guys dug deep into their collections and pockets to ensure that the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive is able to continue to bring you the great inspiration you have come to expect. We all owe them a debt of gratitude for their generosity.


The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive isn't one of those stuffy institutions financed by huge corporate endowments. It's a grassroots resource that is supported by the artists and animation fans that directly benefit from it. That means you. Every penny that comes in gets rolled right back into making the Archive even better. But if the people who benefit from it don't support it with their donations, it will cease to exist. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found that animationarchive.org came up as "Server Not Found"? Please contribute using the PayPal links at the top of each post.


And as I always say... if you're one of those folks who don't click on the images because you don't think it's worth the time it takes to read... YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING!
