AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL CARTOON REVOLUTION Volume 7

Smoking, racism, and dental hygiene are just a few of the serious issues cartoons can help you cope with in this 7th volume of Something Weird’s Industrial Cartoon series. So watch it carefully and let funny characters show you the path to health and happiness… PICTURE IN YOUR MIND (color) is a marvelously pretentious ode to world peace that uses stylized artwork, somber music, and poetic narration (by WALTER ABEL) to plead for a world without prejudice and racism. Why do men hate? Why do men kill? Oh, why, why, why? Very artsy. Perhaps a bit too artsy. Quite honestly, some wacky animals hitting each other over the head would’ve helped. RUMOR (b&w) uses a traffic jam on a hot day involving “a white man and a Negro” to describe how misinformation escalates into talk of a full-scale race riot and real-life violence. Please stop this film midway through and discuss. From the National Conference of Christians and Jews. THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN (color) tries to eradicate racism by discussing the differences – and lack thereof – between “the Caucasian, the Negroid, and the Mongoloid.” And remember, the Eskimo has the largest brain of all. HERITAGE (color) compares the human rights in our democracy to those of a totalitarian country. Which embarrasses a mild-mannered man who’s just turned into a beast that could care less about anyone’s rights…. SIGNS TAKE A HOLIDAY (b&w) shows us a world without signage. Mild-mannered Horace C. Heimerhoff hates signs and wishes they would disappear. They do. The result: chaos, traffic accidents, and death. So, please, love your local “Stop” sign. THE HUFFLESS, PUFFLESS DRAGON (1964; color) equates smoking cigarettes with peer pressure and, apparently, dragon masculinity. FROM A TO ZAP (color) has a mouse teach a cat all about electricity since the cat seems to enjoy getting himself electrocuted. But exactly why a rodent would be so knowledgeable about electrical energy is never really explained. TEETH… ARE A GOOD THING TO HAVE (1973; color) reminds us that in addition to gum disease, there are full-scale musical numbers currently running amok in your mouth. True. Bacteria and plaque sing and dance like old-time veterans of Broadway, with the real show stoppers being a dentist, a toothbrush, and some dental floss: “We’re here to convey, we stop dental decay!” Where can we find the soundtrack album? A LITTLE TIME FOR HENRY (color) offers us a salesman who’s always late for his appointments because the damn fool can’t manage time. The solution? He keeps a weekly schedule. Of course, if he can’t manage time, why should we think he can manage a schedule? Shhhhh. Just smile and agree. It’s easier that way. DEVELOPING MORE AND BETTER IDEAS (color) is a helpful cartoon that explains how you too can think creatively, turn today’s ideas into tomorrow’s spaceships and blenders, and keep American industry strong. And, of course, please “try not to be too concerned with reason and logic.”
