Cartoons Kick Ass - The History Of Subversive Animation

Fantastic, little seen documentary on cartoons, censorship and the obscene. Really interesting footage of US WWII propaganda (and Japanese WWII propaganda), Jiri Trinka's work early and adult orientated animation. And were Tom and Jerry a hetrosexual or homosexual couple? Is Bugs Bunny a terrible racist?

A transcription of Alan Moore's psychogeographical seance of the Highbury district, London, from 2000. Really evocative, reading of the history of the area.

'First you diagnose the area in question, read the street plan's accidental creases and decode the orbit-maps left there by coffee cups, then go to work.'
