Did I ever mention I love black and white sound cartoons from the 20s/30s? Here's a tribute.Clockwise from middle left:
Felix the Cat (1919, Otto Messmer.)
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (1927, Walt Disney's character until he lost the rights to Universal, which they only last year got back. This drawing of him is based on the Walter Lantz era Oswald.)
Mickey Mouse (1928, Walt Disney.)
Flip the Frog (1930, Ub Iwerks.)
Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid (1928, Warner Brothers first cartoon character.)
Foxy (1931, Warner Brothers. Almost too Mickey Mouse like in appearance.)
Bimbo (1930, Max Fleischer. Ended up becoming Betty Boop's sidekick.)
Don Dog (1930, Van Beuren. Only in three films before he was transformed into a human character called Jerry.)
Most of these characters are not on your TV screen anymore, all because they have no colour! The only way to really see them now is through bootleg DVD's like those by Jerry beck and from websites like Duck Dodger's Classic Cartoons!
