Mistigram: I know, you’re thinking “WTF is this, like no kind of #ghost I’ve ever seen.” So.  In a viral clip you’ve no doubt seen demonstrating 1930s #rotoscoping, probably pitted side by side against 2010s animated sprites from #Cuphead, there’s this moment from 1933 #Fleischer cartoon “#BettyBoop in Snow-White”. #KokoTheClown pursues Betty Boop’s ice coffin into a netherworld, where the Evil Queen uses her magic mirror to transform him into a ghost of sorts, singing the #StJamesInfirmary as voiced (and danced) by #CabCalloway.  When he reaches the lines: “When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat / Put a #TwentyDollarGold piece on my watch chain / The gang’ll know I died standing pat.” … in a moment of supreme redundancy he twists and changes shape into a phantasmal singing 20 dollar gold piece.  And that is the moment I have here enshrined for you, in the latest of my series of complicated #ANSIart #Blocktober2018 “interesting failures”, for which you ultimately have @judebumuffpixels to thank.  I know, I could have easily hit this one out of the park using the circle tool in MS Paint, but despite what anyone in the artscene may tell you (they would have nailed it using PabloDraw’s circle tool on a cheating 240-column canvas), I’m in fact staunchly committed to the baggage of my particular roots and traditions 8) https://ift.tt/2NAPdcj
