  2. Are you this "the Asperger's"? Because if so, then the Asperger's is treating me as if it were an ass kisser trying to endear itself by shouting wrong medical diagnoses in an attempt to insult someone the object of its kisses doesn't want to hear...

  3. Wow, man, you're really riling up the masses.
    One of the animators made a vlog about your site. They have a lot to say.

    Here's the vlog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4JGn2XAH9g

  4. "'Do they sell script pages at cartoon galleries?'

    Yes."

    That's classic John right there. Denying fact to get his point across. I think however he's probably just had it with you on his blog. lol

  6. And you are...? Your name is similar to yet not the same as Bob Jaques. Perhaps you are trying to masquerade as him in order to damage him. If this is the case, it it fortunate that you are too stupid to spell his name properly. It might also explain why your comment is banned somewhere; while it's fine to post behind a mask, it's not ok to pretend to be an actual someone else. Perhaps you're trying to make the case for not allowing anonymous posts...

  8. I remember when Steve Worth said no cartoon scripts were used before 1960 and like everyday afterwards, Thad K. and Micheal Barrier found them going back to the 40's and before.


    Masaki:

    Was Ted suppose to go to that link and be greatly insulted ?

  10. They don't sell script pages in cartoon galleries.

  11. Yes, they do. They are much rarer than cels or production drawings from the golden age as there tended to only be a handful per cartoon in the golden age; as a typist having to reproduce them manually (with a couple of carbon copies for each pass), they were distributed as minimally as possible. But even scripts from the age of xerography are fairly rare. Simpsons scripts pop up more often than any other shows that I've noticed, and they're not popping up all the time.
    Here is an example of an older script page, tho this is an old auction result:
    http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/mel-blanc-autograph-hand-signed-script-coa
    Here's one sitting on eBay due to being extremely overpriced:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370085125802
    The float through the galleries occasionally, but their rarity means you don't see them often. there are around 2500 hits in Production art on eBay non-stores at the moment, and none of them are scripts. There are an additional 8900 hits in eBay stores in the category, and only one of the is a script (or uses the word, at least). So, if that's an accurate cross section (and it very well may not be), less than 1 in 11,000 pieces of animation art are scripts or parts of scripts. Which would certainly explain why you don't see them very often.

  15. If you're trying to get Tony Todd to show up, you need to say it in a mirror. Plus, you're saying it wrong.

  16. I suppose if Mel Blanc autographed toilet paper you would say that they sell toilet paper in cartoon galleries too.

  17. Mel Blanc autographs on plain paper are fairly inexpensive (you can find examples not selling on eBay for under $100). While the one example is overpriced, a great proportion of that item's actual value comes from the script, not the autograph.
    (Note it would be illogical to say animation art galleries don't sell prints just because the prints they sell are vastly overpriced because they have signatures on them.)
