As part of my ongoing effort to polish things up around here, I recently updated Scrappyland’s Scrappy Links page—mostly by adding the wonderful Scrappy write-ups and embedded cartoons that have been part of Steve Stanchfield’s Thunderbean Thursdays column at Jerry Beck’s Cartoon Research site for years. Steve, a true friend of all of us who love old cartoons, is one of the world’s leading Scrappy aficionados. I always enjoy reading his commentaries and watching the prints he shares from his own collection. The comments from other animation buffs are also extremely worthwhile.
Rather than telling you to go over to the links page to find the list of Steve’s Scrappy posts I compiled, I’ll share it right here. The first one happens to be his look at the first Scrappy cartoon, but these are actually in reverse chronological order beginning with his most recent post. Go read. And thanks for all the great stuff, Steve.
