...Heart (U.P.A.) is a seven-minute tour of a madman's mind. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's chilling short story, powerfully narrated in a voice just this side of frenzy by Actor James Mason, the film is one of the first attempts to use the animated cartoon to tell a psychological horror tale. Other cartoon shorts, such as Disney's Donald Duck, Metro's Tom & Jerry, and particularly U.P.A.'s own Gerald McBoing-Boing and Mr. Magoo, have accustomed moviegoers to a skillful distortion of reality and a triumph of line over mass that...
...addition to making cartoon films aimed primarily at grownups ("I'm not against children; we just like to do adult things"), Bosustow does training films for the armed forces, industrial films for such clients as Shell Oil Co. and Timken Roller Bearings, TV commercials and such specialized jobs as the supplying of cartoon "bridges" for the film The Four-Poster, starring Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer. He is eager to move on to full-length animated pictures, and hopes to rival Disney's Cinderella and Peter Pan with adult treatments of classic stories, such as Volpone and Helen...
...Your article on Dr. Kinsey and his work made me furious. The article treats "sex" as something dirty. This is obvious from the insertion of the smutty cartoon by Peter Arno . . .

For six years the same picture of Frank Kingdon, a onetime Methodist minister, has illustrated his "To Be Frank" column in the tabloid, New York Post, it was the likeness of a mildly balding, clean-shaven man in his 40s. Last week Dr. Kingdon, 59, decided to be frank about his looks. Without warning to the readers, the Post overnight changed photographs, used a new one of a bald, bearded and much older man (see cuts...
...painter who amused himself by imagining the Pygmies of the upper Nile (opposite page, bottom) broke with tradition. Like many late Pompeian artists, he found a sketchy, exaggerated, caricaturing approach best suited to his age. His somewhat bloodthirsty and hurried cartoon seems remarkably contemporary in the 20th century - it might almost be mistaken for a panel from a. comic strip. The similarity is probably no accident. Things were speeding up around Pompeii. Even resort life was getting pretty hectic. Old standards were being abandoned, the new was hastily sought, and there was a sense of permanent danger...
