Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
today's cartoons are a trip down memory lane for alot of people. at the same time however, alot of people on this site sadly were way too young or not even born yet when these were in play. which makes me sad and feel old all at the same time.
Liquid Television. Oddities.
MTV's strange and bizarre slot of bizarre animation from around the globe coupled with music videos. yes, back when MTV played music and not reality shows 24 hours per day. good times.
either way, alot of famous cartoons and cartoonists had films in the Liquid Television block and while i'd love to go at length about who and what and when, I am far too lazy.
So instead I will post my favorites.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
I am posting the Maxx. Chances are unless you enjoyed the seedy underbelly of comics in the 90's you've never of the Maxx. The Maxx was a strange series published by Image (who are still gods when it comes to alternative comics these days) about a whole variety of fucked up shit. I honestly cant describe them. But anyone who's read them would remember them. They scar themselves into your mind. I still feel queezy when I think about the origins of the villain, Mr.Gone. Christ, what a nightmarishly brilliant and horrifying issue.
blah blah blah I'm rambling.
Anyway.
I'm going to post a couple episodes.
The whole miniseries is out online. If you are a fan of these, I HIGHLY recommend going out and watching the rest.
And I highly HIGHLY recommend reading the comics as well. For anyone with an appreciation for comics/manga/ranchdressing the Maxx is one of those must-read sort of things. I could go on and on about comics here as much as I do cartoons but blah blah blah fuck blah
RAMBLING AGAIN I AM A HUGE FAG HERE THEY ARE

this uh particular Great Cartoons post is filled with some rather creepy stuff this time so I will end it on something nice.
I like this animator. I've posted a couple of his cartoons in the past, but I dont think I've ever posted this one. catchy song too
