| 'Face Like a Frog' by Sally Cruikshank |
Visibly under the influence of Robert Crumb's
Zap and other 1960s counter-culture comix, these are some of the craziest (read 'best') animations made in North America by two animators who worked on
Sesame Street.
Marv Newland pokes fun at the avant-garde, while Sally Cruikshank illustrates her anarchic capers with a proto-New Wave style.
Forget Bugs and Daffy: this is what real loony 'toons look like. Danny Elfman and The Cheap Suit Serenaders contribute to the soundtracks.
Read curator Jim Knox's notes on the work of Newland and Cruikshank.
