Rainy Day Sunshine Fun-Time Sunday Low-Res Cartoon Show #14

I couldn't find a host like I can when I play old records and I thought I could do the same with old cartoons as well. The rights are even more complicated here so I've gotten around it by only embedding things that have already been posted by someone else, absolving me altogether.

I take no responsibility for anything removed by the rightholders, watermarks from previous second-generation sources, editing, cropping, or other ways links that have been broken by parties other than me. Once in a while you'll come across offensive racial stereotypes. Remember the cartoon is about the story and not about them.

World Encyclopedia of Cartoons T-Z

Here's the last of The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons, the 1980 book I got these from. I'm sure I missed some (that are scannable), so I'll probably go back to it at some later date.

Hilda Terry's feature Teena


Arne Ungermann


Still from Duṥan Vukotić's Concerto for Sub-Machine Gun



Werner Wejp-Olsen (WOW)


Gluyas Williams


Adolphe Willette, 1903


Artist unknown, it was between the W and Y sections. Is it supposed to represent the letter X or is it just a nice drawing?


The Yarns of Captain Fibb, for Judge in 1909


Bill Yates, for Saturday Evening Post


There was a syndicated strip of Yogi Bear in the early '60s.


Pino Zacarria (“Zac”)'s Kirie and Leison.

Ronald Searle's St. Trinian's series.

They actually have entire movies on YouTube. Who knew?


Before Ralph Steadman was best known as Hunter Thompson's illustrator, he was a gag cartoonist, mainly for Punch.


Here's a cartoon William Steig did for Look.


Saul Steinberg in Liberty


An example of Sunflower Street, which doesn't seem to have any links online, so once again, I'll consult The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons from which this came.

“SUNFLOWER STREET, the creation of Tom Sims (writer) and Tom Little (artist), started in 1934 as a daily panel for King Features Syndicate. In 1929 Sims went on to write the Thimble Theater strip, and by 1940 Little remained as sole author of the feature. Sunflower Street was unusual in that it had an all-black cast of characters (its closest antecedent was E. W. Kemble's Blackberries). Although not devoid of stereotypes, Sunflower Street was far from being a funny-paper Amos 'n' Andy. The people in it—the gentle but shrewd Pap Henty, the sagacious Granny Lou, the white-bearded Mr. Native, the ne'er-do-well Cousin Bobo, the panel's children, Eenie, Meeny, Miney and Moe—had real character and much charm. The pace was relaxed, and the humor always low-key.

“Nothing really disturbing ever happened on Sunflower Street, and its critics have pointed to the fact as proof of the panel's failings; but the same omission also characterized most small-town features of the 1930s and 1940s. Little poured a great deal of heart into Sunflower Street, as well as many fond remembrances of his rural Tennessee childhood. It was therefore with great reluctance that he finally discontinued it in 1949, due to falling readership.”


Maurice Sinet (Siné) in Lui (NSFW).

Image Shack deemed this forbidden, even though racism is OK with them. If anyone knows of a storage site that doesn't censor, let me know.


T. S. Sullivant


Arthur Szyk cover for Collier's.


From the Monmon series of serigaphs by Hideo Takeda.


Still from Dusan Vukotic's Ersatz, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Subject in 1961, and probably the inspiration for The Simpsons parody of European cartoons.
