Toonerville, a Place I Once Lived In

There is a place so like the place where my heart and mind were born that I feel as if I have always lived there.  That place is a cartoon panel that ran in newspapers throughout the country from 1913 to 1955 (a year before I was born in Mason City, Iowa).  It was called Toonerville Folks and was centered around the famous Toonerville Trolley. Fontaine Fox was born near Louisville Kentucky in…

Clang, clang

Toonerville Trolley (Toonerville Folks) was a newspaper comic strip from 1908 to 1955. It was created by Fontaine Fox of Louisville. It is said to be inspired by the Brook Street trolley, which was a short line often getting used or shabby equipment. Brook Street runs parallel to I-65, on the east side of northbound I-65. This trolley ended in 1930.

Top 10 Van Buren Cartoons

The top 10 Van Buren cartoons ever created are here for you enjoyment with an extra surprise at the end of the program.  Thomas R Reich PhD explores the history and joy that was the VanBeuren Studios, animation history that includes Felix the Cat, Toonerville Trolley, Parotville, Molly Moo Cow and many other kids cartoon favorites.

The blockbuster movie studio of the mid 1930's was RKO and they were not showing Disney Studio cartoons back then they showed VanBeuren Studio Cartoons, and for good reason.  VanBeuren was the first studio with the 3 color technicolor process.  You will see that full brilliant color here fully restored for the first time in 60 years!

The artists and animators of this iconic studio ended up in later years at Fleischer Studios and Disney Studios, and are what brought the magic of bright color to the world of animation.  Look and enjoy the full rick color and sound as it would have looked and sounded in the mid 1930s, you wont believe your eyes and ears!

Stage and screen comedian Dan Mason(Dan Grassman, 1857-1928) was born of a February 9.

Grandpa Futty Drives Again

In Fontaine Fox’s Toonerville Trolley comics there is one old flivver-driving fool named Grandpa Futty.  He is the slowest driver on the road.  Rarely does he go over the breakneck speed of two miles per hour.  He is so overly cautious, that if there are two lanes going his way, he takes the middle of the road and effectively moseys along in his putter-banger taking up both lanes.  What is that…
