"...There are, however, some designers and even clients who insist that the public deserve and will respond to much higher standards in graphics. They are convinced, as Charlie Chaplin was convinced, that the best way to entertain the public is to first entertain oneself."

Wolverine’s 35th anniversary art

This year, Wolverine celebrated his 35th anniversary — even though he is famed to be a lot older than that, he fought in the first world war, remember? Anyway, Marvel pulled a nice one, producing a lot of covers with Wolverine as if he were drawn by some of the most fameous artists in history: Van Gogh, Klimt, Utamaro, Dali and many more. Read more about it here: Wolverine Art Appreciation Month.

Here are some of my favourites:

Munro — by Jules Feiffer

After last week’s proof that blogging has its rewards, here’s yet another proof: Mr. Valentín wrote me after watching “The Bear That Wasn’t” about another old time gem, Munro, a short animation made by Jules Feiffer, one of the great cartoonists and winner of the Pullitzer Prize. You can read more about Jules Feiffer on Mr. Valentín’s blog entry.

Munro won an Oscar in 1961.

(thank you Valentín)
