Another example of a poor design... Lettering that doesn't even resemble the title in the TV Special (And sitting right on Aaron's head?). This was left out of the BLU RAY set of last year because they only have a 16mm B Roll for source material. THE ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS CLASSIC?

RANKIN/BASS' THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

???????????????????????
Look at this! Who is putting this stuff together??? A MISER BROTHERS CHRISTMAS?????? Look at the art and design of the front cover! AWFUL!! 
JACK DAVIS
Co-writer of RANKIN/BASS' MAD MONSTER PARTY, Harvey Kurtzman! Forry Ackerman had no part in writing the script as incorrectly reported at IMDB and everywhere there after...
Jack's monsters and Directed by JERRY LEWIS
one of my favorite Jack Davis one-sheets!

Bring Back Jerry Lewis!
I have read a little on-line about JERRY and MDA... It is NOT LABOR DAY WEEKEND without Jerry :) MDA lied and said he "Retired." They probably lied about the $61 million they said they had pledged, with that dismal show they put on the air. I watched about 2 minutes of those REALITY TV Opportunists! I read on-line that the Producers of AMERICAN IDOL were behind the show.....you could tell! REALITY TV people are NOT stars....JERRY LEWIS IS!

JERRY
from Mitch O' Connell www.mitchoconnell.com I wonder if many will tune in for the MDA TELETHON this year? I always did to see how Jerry was. This is the family he didn't talk much about...

Some JACK DAVIS designed ANIMAGIC figures from RANKIN/BASS' MAD MONSTER PARTY (1967)... We see these characters in Mr. cronkite's pharmacy towards the beginning of the film...classic Davis style! He always puts a bird in the hat of the old ladies hats :) Arthur Rankin, Jr. is a big Davis fan and hired him for many projects (Some that did not make it to the screen). Arthur paid a special visit to Jack in recent years at his home/studio in Georgia.

KINDLE
It is on KINDLE with some new pictures too! THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO will be up sometime this week (Lots of new color pics too)! We are looking at publishing with APPLE too! NOOK and BARNES & NOBLE are too restrictive and don't allow for coffee table type books with lots of illustrations to be published. I am looking at RUDOLPH on my ANDROID right now :)
Spread sunshine all over the place...and put on a happy face!
I have a few right now....$55 shipped!

CARTOON NETWORK
I occasionally watch a classic HANNA-BARBERA cartoon on BOOMERANG (Few survive) and during THE ATOM ANT SHOW or JOHNNY QUEST I am bombarded by commercials for CARTOON NETWORK....probably the dumbest, ugliest cartoons we have ever seen (my fiance and friends agree): ADVENTURE TIME and GUMBALL. Who is the target audience for these cartoons? My friend Tom said "they look like someone stuck a pencil in a dog's mouth and this is what it drew." It's true! I feel sorry for the kids of today, if this is what is thrown at them. Complete garbage! About 20 years ago, SPUMCO and others started a new wave of creator driven and beautifully designed cartoons....what happened since then?????
