Those of you interested in animation, stop reading this page and hustle over to www.frankandollie.com, which is the new domain of Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. They are, as you know, the last two of Disney's fabled "Nine Old Men" — two lifelong friends who have worked on more great animated films than a lot of folks will ever see. Their site has animation tips, biographical info and even a new, on-line cartoon that they've been creating. It's…uh, unusual. But I think for two guys in their age bracket to embrace the Internet and get a website up and running is terrific so I'll not quibble.
Younger cartoonists have websites, too. I just this minute found out that Scott Shaw! has a website up showing lots of his fine work. It's at www.shawcartoons.com and if he'd told me about it, I would have plugged it sooner.
Forgot to mention that the Heads Up on that episode of Password was courtesy of my buddy, Rick Scheckman, a fully-tenured member of the staff (and, on occasion, the cast) of The Late Show with David Letterman. Thanks, Shecky.
