But I Trusted Talking Rabbits!

Whatever you guys do, don't throw me into that bar over there!
This sure looks like the work of Bill Peet to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Peet

Yes, it is.




Bill Peet, Br'er  Rabbit, Song of the South.  This is one of the best artists I have ever seen.  Michaelangelo? Da Vinci? Chris Burden?  Not even on the list.  Where are their bunnies?





Incredible.






Br'er Rabbit meets the tarbaby, Song of the South.

I cannot find a clip of this with the original audio in it, it has been narrated.  Either this is a Disney copyright thing, or just the vagaries of the net.  As usual, the art and animation are out of hand.  There is a part two that does have the original voices in it, but this is what I wanted to show.





Thump thump, Neo.





Deep, dark, inviting.  Calling Dr. Freud!





But only the very best butter.  Wow, is this one fucked up adaption of a slam dunk story!





Just as well the Mouse did not get hold of this.  The art would be much better but all the singing and dancing would not advance the story at all.





Warner's gets into the act.  See http://www.lileks.com/institute/frahm/





C'est Moi!




When I first watched this the Vietnam war was raging.  I don't think popular culture was paying much attention, despite the seriousness of the disaster ongoing.  We really should have been getting our future soldiers more focused on what we are now living amidst of.  Television should have been doubling down on Jonny Quest.





See what I mean?




I love thrift stores.






Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby, E. W. Kemble.






Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby, signed K.B. Frost.






Many cultures have traditions of Trickster Rabbits.






Many very different cultures.





Not all cute bunnies are cute bunnies.





I missed this Saturday morning Anthrogony.   Just as well.





Blackjack O'Hare and his friend, Rocket Racoon.
A Hero For Our Times!





Speaking of heroes, there are none quite like Usagi the bodyguard.  Stan Sakai.






 E. Aster Bunnymund, Rise of the Guardians.  Not your standard depiction of an Easter Bunny.






The Basics.  Harry Rountree





Br'er Rabbit steals Sis Cow's Milk.  Picture by Harry Rountree, and real good too.





Rr'er Rabbit at home.  Art by Henry (wait for it)!...Fox!





Henry Fox.





Christopher Burch, Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Death in the Land of Shadows.






Christopher Burch.  This is from an exhibition in San Francisco and it is worth looking at.  The other artist involved is John Felix Arnold III and this is some very intriguing artwork, but not all talking rabbit related.  Check it out.

The Velveteen Rabbit, Dan Daily.






Schnuffel Bunny.  This is a hyper cute German ring tone rabbit apparently singing a love song to that suggestive carrot he is hugging.

The horror.




What?  You've read this all the way to the end?  You seriously need to be getting laid or something!

The Back Cover   https://youtu.be/OKGCaiZDV28 Andrew the Bee is one of the extremely talented artists and writers I know from DeviantArt.  Andy is as good as any artist there is and it is an delight to be able to put up his work on my site.  We did this before but because the post depended on my knowledge of computer files it may have fallen a tad flat.  Here is the earlier version of this essay about a comics genre that I knew nothing about before reading all this. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2020/01/jungle-comics-safari.html https://www.deviantart.com/andibi

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible!

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...
