Sgambata by Remigio Ducros

I could totally hear Wu-Tang rhyming on that backing track. Peace.

I love how the sun was drawn in the 60s and 70s. I loved my early elementary years with the images of funky, wavy sunbeams.

[raposofan]

I do too - we're replicating that sun look in the sun logo of Sunshine Again...

[OtherBrother09]

Excellent. A new generation can appreciate the innovating artwork from not too long ago. Sounds like old school might become new school not too long from now.

This could be used in one of those "truth" commercials about the dangers of smoking.

[raposofan]

Oh God, it could... that shrivelly black does it all.

I have seen this animation used in the Volume One Box set. It appeared right before Judy and Skip perform "Barley Farmer's Bar"

[raposofan]

Please help me out with this - what words was it teaching? It's killing me.

[aman1016]

The first appearance is in episode 14, after a segment or two about "sh" Instead of music you hear the "sliding guitars" sound, and Skip is doing the voice over. It's not a comparative Scanimate like shoot/shot, but rather an introduction for segments involving words that end in "-ar". Case in point "Barley Farmer's Bar".

[raposofan]

Perfect explanation.  At last. THANK YOU.

Anytime, my friend, anytime!
