FRITZ, UNDERGROUND, CRUMB E DINTORNI…

Star in ansia

Il seminario di domani sarà complesso, anche in seguito alle insidie del tempo, sempre aggressive loro, sempre carente lui. La sessantina di studenti che domani vi sarà, vedrà di cosa effettivamente parleremo per nove ore, in maniera intensiva.
Non solo di gag e di Fumetto underground, ma di tutta una serie di argomenti che non possono mancare di essere citati nel ciclo di incontri, prima della tornata prenatalizia di mercoledì prossimo, 23 dicembre, quando la Scuola Internazionale dei Comics, teoricamente già chiusa dal giorno prima, riaprirà soltanto per noi (sempre per far fronte alle richieste diu tutti).

Dopodiché, ne parliamo di nuovo dopo l’Epifania.
Domani saprete effettivamente in quale giorno, per un fuori programma non inserito in locandina.

Pig Head Sequence – Deleted Scene from the movie “Who framed Roger Rabbit” [SUB ITA]

Public domain film slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied.
The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Rose

Tokyo Rose (alternate spelling Tokio Rose) was a generic name given by Allied forces in the South Pacific during World War II to any of approximately a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. The intent of these broadcasts was to disrupt the morale of Allied forces listening to the broadcast. American servicemen in the Pacific often listened to the propaganda broadcasts to get a sense, by reading between the lines, of the effect of their military actions.

Farther from the action, stories circulated that Tokyo Rose could be unnervingly accurate, naming units and even individual servicemen; though such stories have never been substantiated by documents such as scripts and recorded broadcasts, they have been reflected in popular books and films such as Flags of Our Fathers. Similar rumors surround the propaganda broadcasts of Lord Haw-Haw and Axis Sally…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Hook

Mr. Hook is the title character of a series of predominantly black-and-white American animated cartoon shorts produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II for the US Navy.

The series ran for 4 shorts and was mainly produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions with the first by Walter Lantz Studios, Take Heed Mr. Tojo, being produced in full color. The character was designed by Hank Ketcham.

Unlike the earlier Private Snafu series (sotto, un suo cortometraggio nel quale è caricaturato anche quel criminale internazionale che fu il nonno di Alessandra Mussolini), which was created as an instructional film series, the Mr. Hook one was created exclusively as propaganda to encourage Navy personnel to purchase war bonds.
