I am looking for an image of Mr Magoo in his racoon coat holding a “Beat Princeton” pennant. Can anyone help me in getting this image of Mr Magoo ??

Just looking at this entry again I noticed that the bg design for that last panel is EXTREMELY similar to a similar scene in the first Pete Hothead! I’ll have to take a photo and send it to you.

I always thought that the design of Samurai Jack looked familiar, and looking that first panel, I can see where the Jack designers got some of their inspiration.

I love those old-school animation frames. Somehow that angular, brightly coloured look appeals to me after hours of watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.

As a kid, you just like the colours, but I think now I can appreciate the use of space and lines to balance with the animation.

Mr Magoo background art

There’s tons of great stuff on Amid Amidi’s blog, Cartoon Modern (about 1950s animation art), including a couple of background paintings for a 1955 cartoon called Magoo Makes News. Link…

Leger was also involved in creating set designs and costumes for the theater and film as early as 1923. “La Creation du Monde”,”L’inhumaine”, Alex Korda’s film “The Shapes of Things to Come” based on the H.G. Wells book, the ballet “David Triomphant” for the Paris Opera, and many more.

Excellent observation zencomix. In the book, I actually write that McIntosh’s style most closely recalls Davis and Léger. McIntosh doesn’t claim any direct influence from these artists, but he was well aware of their paintings and it’s interesting to note the similarities in their work.

I see a “Fernand Leger” look ,as well, to these backgrounds.
