Cavewoman Cavewoman is a great new comic book created and drawn by Budd Root. Don't judge this book by its cover. Not just another "Bad Girl" book, but an exciting trip into the Earth's prehistoric past for Meriem and her readers.

Animation

Animation of Heaven & Hell in 3-D
A look at animation that deserves to be better known. Come with me to worlds both beautiful and terrible, naive and intricate. Curl up with the heavenly goodness and naivete of Art Clokey's Davey & Goliath or George Pal's Puppetoons, or be disturbed by the hellish visions of Jan Svankmejer and his "sons" The Brothers Quay. Better still, come back to the very beginning, with the amazing inventor of "puppet films", Ladislas Starevich!

Behavioral Animation
Behavioral animation is a type of procedural animation, which is a type of computer animation. In behavioral animation an autonomous character determines its own actions, at least to a certain extent. This gives the character some ability to improvise, and frees the animator from the need to specify each detail of every character's motion. Here you can learn more about behavioral animation, and there are lots of links to other sites about behavioral animation or that use it.

Resources

The Annotated Watchmen
An annotated version of Moore and Gibbons' Watchmen graphic novel. "The Annotated Watchmen was written for several reasons. The series is packed with detail, more so than almost any other, and much of that detail is easily missed. Much of the background of the world is not given straight out, but has to be inferred. There are several ongoing motifs that are worth spotting. My goal in annotating the series is to highlight and explain all these points."

FDR Cartoon Archive
