Next year's homework: part 2

Weight lift & Toss assignment

Speaking of which, Check out the Fleischer cartoons posted on Dailymotion: "The Dancing Fool" , and "Betty Boop's Museum" are especially great. They are pure cartoons (A term I first heard from Mitch) with unrestrained humor, joy and imagination.

Btw, I will add a face of the Toss!

Sharper scans are up!
