...somewhat overdrawn Diary of a Mad Housewife; Charles Bronson's headstrong investigator in Rene Clement's Rider on the Rain; the dripping decadence and provocative idea behind Performance; and the grand style of Jean-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon and Michel Bouquet in the overly maligned Jacques Deray cartoon known as Borsalino...
...power man: "Your lot have put me to a stack of inconvenience. Get off and walk." One of the few signs of support came from unionized workers at London's Evening Standard who walked out and halted late editions in protest against a drawing they considered objectionable. The cartoon pictured the E.T.U. worker as "Homo-electrical-sapiens Britannicus, circa 1970"−with head of "solid bone," eyes "green with envy," ears "deaf to reason," mouth "permanently open," hand "always out," and only a hole where his heart should...
...pistols and crows to feed an infant and rock its cradle. There was even a Hitler-kicking machine that gave the Führer his comeuppance via a cat, a mouse and a stripteaser.

...Actor Bull's archly preserved chattiness is ubiquitous-and finally maddening. A pity, because the book (TIME, Dec. 5, 1969), originally published in Britain, is stuffed with sepia pictures of quaint and cuddly bears as well as a fair amount of interesting history. Sample: Everyone knows that a cartoon showing Teddy Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear cub in 1902 led to the Teddy, but no one, not even Bull, can say whether the first bear was stuffed by the famous house of Steiff in Germany, or a chap named Morris Michtom in Brooklyn. Less for kids than...
