Thanks for posting the pages. Love to see any Toth and it harkens back to the pre-digital aniamtion days of my youth.
Oh Sherm! You sure know the key to my heart with these bad ass posts.
I thought it was pretty funny reading the description about "keeping to model" and it's difficulties.
The timing director stuff was kinda interesting too (thinking about how the role of the timing director has been over time).
It's crazy how this whole process can be done to a pretty good degree on a 1/2 decent laptop today.
Anywho, thanks for postin' sherm! As always, great blog and keep it up.
Hi Mike...Hi Brian...thanks for the kind words. It gets tough to find time to make these posts, but hearing kudos from dudes like you makes it all worth it. Onward!
Amazing... Just like the previous one. This cartoons were really glorious. Superfriends, Space Ghost, Johnny Quest, etc. etc. etc.
Thanks again for this!
