A Bi-Weekly Update On What's New At The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive
Comics: Harvey Eisenberg's Foxy Fagan 1946  Here's a rare comic collaboration between animation legends Harvey Eisenberg and Joe Barbera. It's said that the two published these comic books themselves and worked on them in a shed in Eisenberg's backyard! Pitch: Herb Klynn's The Shrimp  The family of Herb Klynn donated another batch of unsold pitches from Format Films' heyday. This one, called "The Shrimp" is an animated "Leave It To Beaver" with a stylized UPA look. Thanks to the Klynn family for their generous support of the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive. Illustration: More 50s & 60s Album Covers  We posted a second batch of great album covers from children's and novelty records of the 50s and 60s. Fun stuff!

Uncle Remus Stories Part One Pinups: John Held Jr.  Here's a great overview of the career of illustrator, John Held Jr. from the January 1968 issue of Playboy Magazine. Held's cartoons of sexy flappers and their raccoon coated beaus defined the jazz age of the 1920s. Filmography: Tytla & Terry Jekyll & Hyde  Following up on our recent posts on Bill Tytla, we present one of Tytla's best Terry-Toons, Mighty Mouse Meets Jekyll & Hyde Cat.
