Best intro in television history.
What an opening! Batman: The Animated Series is still one of my favorite shows.
Kanye West’s tweets meet The New Yorker’s Cartoon Caption Contest. The results are hilarious!

Acme Triple-Strength Fortified Leg Muscle Vitamins. From Stop, Look and Hasten (dir. Charles M. Jones, 1954). I love the use of the Acme Corporation as a go-to, generic component of Looney Tunes. Surely someone’s written a dissertation about this.
“Injun Summer,” by John T. McCutcheon, 1907. (via the afore-loved Roger Ebert)
Balloon Land (1935) Ub Iwerks’ ComiColor cartoon. I remember seeing this exactly once, about 20 years ago, and it’s stuck with me ever since. So glad to stumble on it again today.

A View of the Bombardment of Ft. McHenry. I was in Baltimore a few weeks ago and stopped by Fort McHenry (Star-Spangled Banner, etc.). This painting was one of my favorites, if only for the trails on the bombs.
