Ralph on his reaction to Heavy Traffic when it was completed, about UPA, and the (then latest) James Bond film, taken from a 2013 interview conducted by Dan Sarto of Animation World Network.
Black text on white background: (RB is Ralph Bakshi) Yeah, there is one. That's a good question, thank you. When I watched Fritz the Cat [for the first time as a finished film], that was OK, you know. But when I walked out of Heavy Traffic, I was crying. Making that film, I didn't have the money for a pencil test or Leica reels. We just animated. I storyboarded myself, timed it with a stop watch then gave it to my animators. Over the year [of production] it would come to me in different pieces, this scene or that scene. They never came in story order. The easy scenes came in first and the heavy scenes came in last. The first time I saw the film cut together, when I finally put it together and screened it for myself, I walked out crying. I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea that it would be so strong. I had no idea that it worked. I had no idea that animation could do that. UPA made the most boring bunch of cartoons in the world. I was there! They were on Sunday afternoon. Except for a few, maybe a handful, most of them were just as boring as the Disney shorts. A lot of them were pretentious, so I am not a big fan. The design was great and the style was great in all of them. But so what? I mean, the shorts themselves were not saying anything new to a great degree. So Kickstarter has allowed me an opportunity to write about people, write about character, and write about what's happened to America. There is a dwarf in Last Days of Coney Island who thinks he's God. He's a little short guy, he runs around working for the Mafia. It's all about what was going on in America from 1950 to 1960 and how it made our attitudes a certain way and how we reacted and didn't react to things. I'm doing things I've never done before with styles I've never used before RB: A piece of shit. It was the most horrible, stupid, dumb fucking film I've ever see in my life. All these critics are raving it's the best Bond. Do you believe this old women and James Bond go to this little house somewhere and make a stand against guys with machine guns and helicopters, putting up light bulbs that explode, do you believe the garbage that that film was? People were saying it should have gotten an Academy Award. It's the worst James Bond ever. It's so stupid. Where is the criticism? And it was such a huge success! There are so many bad films out there that get these huge audience responses, I think everyone is kind of dumbed down, if you want to know the truth. In my day, there were great films. Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver, there were things to discuss. Skyfall, I felt the bottom of my mouth drop open. That's how bad the movie really was. I mean the ignorance of those chases at the end, they made no sense, absolutely no sense.

With the animation of Krakatoa Katie done by Carlo Vinci, alongside with these lovely layout drawings alongside other visual flairs, it’s no wonder why this cartoon is well-remembered by people who watched it, from the 1945 Mighty Mouse cartoon, Krakatoa. Directed by Connie Rasinski for Terrytoons.
Lightning Krakatoa erupts! Krakatoa!!! Lava everywhere

Connie Rasinski & Art Bartsch’s signatures taken from Terry-Toons Comics No. 66. Both of them (alongside the other Terry artists like Jim Tyer & Carlo Vinci) were regulars.

The Dingbat and Heckle & Jeckle stories were drawn by Connie
Mighty Mouse and The Super Sonic Chord was drawn by Art
Dingbat kids playing while a speech bubble reads “This is Aunt Bessie signing off folks, did you enjoy your foolish ghoulash-“ with Dingbat (or Mrs. Dingbat) saying “I’ll ask him when he comes in” Game warden says “Mister, you’ll win the prize for this! That’s the biggest fish caught here in years. What did you use for bait?” Dimwit says “you’d be surprised!” and Heckle says “You know, Jeckle, sometimes I don’t think we’re so smart!” Mitzi says “We’ve lost our opera house, but destroying the claw and his terrible secret was well worth it.

Sam Singer wasn’t all hack, he cut the mustard for various animation studios (Disney & Terrytoons being two of them) before heading out to Chicago… Done during the mid-late 1930’s for someone he knew!

The cartoons of Matt Groening’s father, Homer!
A man is sleepwalking as his wife and another woman say “In One Sense Our Furnace Is Automatic - He’s Going To Put Coal In It Now.” We also see the signature of “Homer Gröening” A basketball game commences whilst one mother says to another “We Think Junior Has The Makings Of A Great Dribbler.” A working man levitates in horror whilst another looks at him & his newfound ability.

Behind the scenes photograph of the first (surviving) animated cartoon in Estonia, 1931’s Kutsu Juku seiklusi.

Fun fact: The director, writer, and camera operator, Voldemar Päts, was the nephew of Estonia’s first (and only for a long time) president, Konstatin Päts!

Around August of 1947, the newsletter of Screen Cartoonists Guild Local 1461, Top Cel, went around identifying scabs who worked at Terrytoons during their infamous strike. It didn’t go unnoticed as, according to Devon Baxter, (who digitized these) it got the union in deep water!
Black text on white that reads “ KNOW YOUR SCABS Long ago when all was peace and quiet in Utopia, (terrytoonsto you, and we were all innocent babes-in-the-woods, a press book was printed re- vealing to the world the marvels of cartoon pro- duction as conceived by Mr. Terry and his staff of artists.The story came complete with pictures of the personnel for which we arenow very grate- ful. We are going to put those pictures to a ra- ther ironic use. Since many of our friends fron the West coast have written for information or who is scabbing, and have asked what they can do to help, we are printing below the faces as well as the names-of the scabs. Fix these faces if your minds, friends. We do not want to forget these people. Black text that reads A.E. Bartsch E. Davis Ed. Donnelly John Foster G.J. McAvoy T. J. Morrison J.C. Rasinski P.A. Scheib F. Schudde Notes: Art Bartsch worked for Van Beuren before heading to Terry Mannie Davis, as he was called, was the elder brother of Phil, Sid, & Srt Davis, who all had animation careers at one point (Art outlived all of them and was the most lucky of them all) Ed. Donnelly worked for MetLife before getting into cartooning and eventually, animation. He’d also spent some time at Disney before heading back east George McAvoy worked for a lot of studios as an editor and was the recipient of a caricature (via a photograph) in the 1952 Heckle & Jeckle cartoon, “House Busters”. Said caricature is also one of few times that Terrytoons self-inserted their staff as jokes Tom Morrison worked on Wall Street the day the market crashed, and got the job at Terry around 1931-1932 due to sheer nepotism Connie Rasinski had an older brother, cameraman Joe (who striked) and was basically one of the leading figures of Terrytoons, working there when it opened up until a few days before his death Phil Scheib once played the organ for silent movies and studied music at a conservatory in Berlin Frank Schudde would open up an Ice Cream parlor after retiring from animation and once had an offer to work for Hanna-Barbera “Nominees For Oblivion” on top (black text) The McAvoy’s (white text) Mrs. Gleason (black text) Maier (black text) Deleo (black text) Muriel Gushue (black text) R. Linderman (white text) DeNunzio (black text) Sparky Schudde (black text) D. Moye (black text) Mcole (white text) Polly Donnelly (nee: Bourne and black text) Bottom text that reads “Terrytoon Scabs” Notes: Muriel Gushue taught art at Watertown High School in Watertown, CT after Terry and lived to be 100! Doug Moye was one of the first black camera operators in the business, he got into the business out of necessity as health problems became a bane for his band leading career. And it was Paul Terry who showed him the ropes! Moye would also be cast as a voice actor whenever needed. Polly Bourne would marry director/animator Eddie Donnelly in 1951, they had no kids as Eddie already had kids from a previous marriage Also contains text that reads “Bags” and “Scab” (model too) alongside an illustration of a skull & crossbones on the bottom of Gushue’s picture and a little anchor on Mcole’s arm White text that reads A. Bartsch C. Rasinski Charley Perrin Bill Weiss Phil Scheib Mannie Davis Fennelly Christina Morrison (mother of Tom Morrison) Capt. Terry Black text Tom Morrison Alexander Anderson Drucker Walt Gleason Crampton Notes: Christina Morrison worked as a pencil test cameraman and lived to be a centenarian! Outliving her husband, her immediate family, and Tom Charley Perrin was Paul Terry’s maternal cousin who worked as an animation supervisor and ran it like a combo of a grade school & prison. According to Charlie Judkins, the man who is seen photographing Perrin is Cliff “Red” Auguston, who was seen filming footage of the strike as it unfolded, which alerted Bill Weiss! Alex Anderson was Paul Terry’s nephew and worked for the studio on & off for about a decade or so in various capacities, he would end up back in California to partner up with his childhood friend, Jay Ward, and get into the fledging TV Animation Business, in which they done shows like Crusader Rabbit and Rocky & Bullwinkle. Also has additional text that reads “COP” (someone involved with the New Rochelle Police Force no doubt) and “FINK”
