...throw off your chains. This weekend at the Science Center the University Film Study Center is projecting fifteen of the world's finest short animated films, selected in part from winners of international festivals. The styles range from New Yorker-cartoon-like line drawings to color swirls and slashes reminiscent of Kandinsky, from sequenced photographs of porcelain dolls to images like amoebas in a microscopic slide. Mostly, though, they transmit undiluted visual delight...
...takes an artist of power and originality to transform the White House into a cartoon museum. His name is Garry Trudeau, and his Doonesbury is more than mindless mirth. It is a climate of opinion, a mocking view of American life. Since the spidery lines of Doonesbury first appeared in the Yale campus newspaper in 1968, they have become the punch lines of some 449 dailies. The strip is now scanned by more than 60 million readers in the U.S. and Canada. Hard-and soft-bound collections have sold over three-quarters of a million copies, and the biggest assemblage...

"He does his homework," says Playboy Cartoon Editor Michelle Urry. "Garry's on of the few intellectuals in the business...
Scant Attention. Bugs receives at least part of his due in this compilation of ten cartoons, cut together with some historical material about how they were made. The cartoons are representative, but they show Bugs only at his intermittent best. Many of his finest efforts are missing because rights were not available. Vintage home movies of the animation unit are fun, but Filmmaker Jackson relies too much on the reminiscences of Cartoon Director Bob Clampett to fill in the facts. Clampett pays scant attention to his contemporaries-Tex Avery, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones-and endeavors to portray himself as Looney...
