Check out his message to fans, and the artwork below. --Daphne Durham. A Special Message about Just Like Heaven from New York Times Bestselling Author, Patrick McDonnell. I have spent the last twelve years as the creator of the newspaper comic strip Mutts . Mutts is centered on the unlikely friendship between Earl the dog and Mooch the cat.

They began working in the early 1900s, at the same time as Walt Disney, but while Disney went on to become a household name, the Fleischers are barely remembered. Our film will change this, introducing a wide national audience to a family of brothers – Max, Dave, Lou, Joe, and Charlie – who created Fleischer Studios and a roster of animated characters who reflected the rough and tumble sensibilities of their own Jewish immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. “The Fleischer story involves the glory of American Jazz culture, union brawls on Broadway, gangsters, sex, and southern segregation,” says advisor Tom Sito. Advisor Jerry Beck adds, “It is a story of rags to riches – and then back to rags – leaving a legacy of iconic cinema and evergreen entertainment.” BUDGET Outright Request 600,000.00 Cost Sharing 90,000.00 Matching Request 0.00 Total Budget 690,000.00 Total NEH 600,000.00 GRANT ADMINISTRATOR Ms.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 © Copyright by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 by Brynn Wein Shiovitz Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950, looks at the many forms of masking at play in three pivotal, yet untheorized, tap dance performances of the twentieth century in order to expose how minstrelsy operates through various forms of masking. The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

    ASIAN ELEPHANT (Elephas maximus) NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL STUDBOOK 17 JULY 2007 – 31 August 2010 MIKE KEELE – STUDBOOK KEEPER KAREN LEWIS – CONSERVATION PROGRAM ASSISTANT KATELYN DEVER – RESEARCH ASSISTANT ________________________________________NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL STUDBOOK - ASIAN ELEPHANT ii Cover Photograph: Left to Right: Samudra (# 649) ,Sung Surin (SB#70) Photo Credit: Michael Durham – Oregon Zoo ________________________________________NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL STUDBOOK - ASIAN ELEPHANT iii MESSAGE FROM THE STUDBOOK KEEPER As a complete studbook, information is included on Asian elephants that we were able to document as existing at one point in time in North America. This edition includes information on 725 elephants, 78 more than the last edition which was published in 2007. 13 of these animals were captive born. The remaining 65 additional elephants were added because we received historical animal records that validated their existence. Of the 725 elephants in the Studbook, 269 (53.216) are living and 145 (31.114) are currently housed in AZA facilities. The “Lost To Follow Up” section lists 9 male and 60 female elephants whose current location is unknown to us. The “Undocumented” section lists 31 male and 203 female elephants that we believe are individuals who existed in North America at one time, however, we lack any official supporting documentation to give them official studbook numbers. There is a chance that some of these elephants already have studbook numbers under different house names, it is also likely that some of the undocumented elephants are duplicates of one another. It is important that we have appropriate supporting documentation to avoid assigning more than one studbook number to the same elephant.

  • The Reimagined Paradise: African Immigrants in the United States, Nollywood Film, and the Digital Remediation of 'Home'
    THE REIMAGINED PARADISE: AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES, NOLLYWOOD FILM, AND THE DIGITAL REMEDIATION OF 'HOME' Tori O. Arthur A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2016 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Patricia Sharp Graduate Faculty Representative Vibha Bhalla Lara Lengel © 2016 Tori O. Arthur All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor This dissertation analyzes how African immigrants from nations south of the Sahara become affective citizens of a universal Africa through the consumption of Nigerian cinema, known as Nollywood, in digital spaces. Employing a phenomenological approach to examine lived experience, this study explores: 1) how American media aids African pre-migrants in constructing the United States as a paradise rooted in the American Dream; 2) immigrants’ responses when the ‘imagined paradise’ does not match their American realities; 3) the ways Nigerian films articulate a distinctly African cultural experience that enables immigrants from various nations to identify with the stories reflected on screen; and, 4) how viewing Nollywood films in social media platforms creates a digital sub-diaspora that enables a reconnection with African culture when life in the United States causes intellectual and emotional dissonance. Using voices of members from the African immigrant communities currently living in the United States and analysis of their online media consumption, this study ultimately argues that the Nigerian film industry, a transnational cinema with consumers across the African diaspora, continuously creates a fantastical affective world that offers immigrants tools to connect with their African cultural values.

  • Comics and Cartoons As Channels to Transform Classroom Practices
    Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 COMICS AND CARTOONS AS CHANNELS TO TRANSFORM CLASSROOM PRACTICES A.KAMESWARI Research Scholar (Ph.D.) JNTU, Ananthpur. [email protected] Abstract Introduction: Comics are loved and enjoyed by all the children. Use of comics in the classroom to teach will make the teaching interesting, easy and captivating. Teaching through comics enhances the process of quick learning, recollection and memorizing. Student-participation will be amplified. Scope for pair-work and group- work will be improved. It is like mixing vegetables in a cake batter or decorating a cake with raisins. In a similar way, a teacher can use comics in a class. For higher levels, there are comic books on a specific character. Example: Chatrapati Shivaji. After reading the Amar Chitra Katha comics about Shivaji, the teacher can ask the class to analyse the situations, circumstances and actions etc. It also leads to greater exposure to words and in other sense helps in vocabulary acquisition. It also boosts their speaking competence. As all of us know, student motivation is the requirement for reading comprehension. Motivating students with small texts that interest them leads to improve reading comprehension. After this exercise and analysis, students easily read and able to analyse the text-book related topics. Many character traits can be discussed whether it is about Sindbad or Tintin. Not only Indian cartoons, they can be introduced to Foreign cartoons slowly. Sequencing, vocabulary development etc. skills can be improved among young learners. Studying comic books will definitely help in connecting students to other works of literature, literary analysis and the skills they require for deeper comprehension.
