But the most interesting topics involving the Art Lozzi's background artwork, are on the following links: <br /><br />- <a rel="nofollow">http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2006/11/color-theory-art-lozzi-interview-early.html</a><br />- <a rel="nofollow">http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2006/10/color-theory-good-color-without-lot-of.html</a> <br /><br />Enjoy to visit them!rodineisilveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751345474415214163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-20505213009647067042010-10-26T10:46:32.912-07:002010-10-26T10:46:32.912-07:00Joe, there's nothing wrong with the gag. Nice ...Joe, there's nothing wrong with the gag. Nice little surprise bit and a dialogue capper. But for an end gag, it'd be nice to have something a little stronger.<br /><br />JL, that's probably a pretty good summary. In the least-amusing Shows cartoons, it seems to take awhile for anything to happen and then not much ends up happening. That's probably a drawback of limited animation. If you have no budget to draw a lot of action, you've got to pad somehow, so you have Jinks take a robot cat for a no-gag test spin.<br /><br />The one thing Shows had over Foster is he never got locked into a formula. It may have been deliberate or because the characters were new. So we get funny spot gag cartoons with a trout or a freeway. Or we get a slice-of-life piece with Li'l Tom Tom being rescued; Foster never would have written something like that or 'Little Bird Mouse.' Foster, Maltese and the guys who came later seem boxed in, and that limited storyline possibilities. And it seems the same plots .. Red Riding Hood parodies, fighting dragons, etc. .. ended up being used in almost all the series. Even the pacing was identical. Fortunately, they were good enough writers that in the best cartoons there's something amusing or silly going on or being said.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-30823072851807593852010-10-26T08:52:38.716-07:002010-10-26T08:52:38.716-07:00This may be more looking back in hindsight than an...This may be more looking back in hindsight than anything else, but Shows' low-keyed, laid-back stories are a welcome change of pace to that more hyper and at times forced-hilarity of the later Hanna-Barbera work (even as early as 1961 some of the final series of Yogi cartoons are just trying too damned hard to be madcap/wacky, a pattern that would remain a staple of pretty much all animated TV cartoons until the end of the 1980s).<br /><br />As Michael Barrier said of Tedd Pierce's stories for Chuck Jones in the early 1940s, it's like they had five minutes worth of story in a seven-minute cartoon. Knock a minute off both numbers and you get the situation with a lot of Shows' cartoons for H-B, but the sparse stories/under-developed gags do leave space for more personality development, while the later cartoons often try to cram too many forced hilarity plot points in at the expense of personality development.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-40296029501364323032010-10-25T19:25:51.438-07:002010-10-25T19:25:51.438-07:00Do I detect even a little love for Charlie Shows? ...Do I detect even a little love for Charlie Shows? <br /><br />And, hey...

"Look out, Yogi- low bridge." <br /><br />The narration and editing of SFX changed some of the original gags as well. When Yogi drags himself into the ground due to the overly long rope we hear a stock H-B THUD! instead of the stock H-B "screeching to a stop" used in the actual cartoon. Instead of hitting the trailer we're advised by the narrator that Yogi is about to hit a tree, resulting in a stock H-B BANG! followed by a smaller thud. This rendered the tourist's complaint about Yogi wrecking his trailer pointless.<br /><br />No matter, I still crack up at "See how easy it is to get it, Boob?" and the stock H-B frying-pan-to-head SFX.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-17902616283815334292010-10-23T18:02:57.809-07:002010-10-23T18:02:57.809-07:00Even a weak Shows effort like RHY has enough charm...Even a weak Shows effort like RHY has enough charm, and the backgrounds are impressive. Art Lozzi makes Jellystone look like a near-tropical paradise, with trees that look more like Florida pines than the lodgepole pines of the real Yellowstone.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446855706531749726noreply@blogger.com
