I have really been enjoying this series! A few animations I haven't come across here, but it's interesting to consider how many phrases have become part of our language over the decades.
This is such an interesting look at language in animation! I love to see how different times have influenced animation - especially the Beatniks and other literary movements. Thank you for sharing :)
My animation newsletter FOCUS! operates on the same principles. And besides us and "Animation Obsessive", hardly anyone else is doing it on Substack, so I need to support those who do.

Loved this, thanks Jon. I love how TV phrases and words enter our language generally. So fascinating!
