| The Bulbo cartoons were created starting
in 1998 as a personal experiment in Flash design and a satiric comment on the inherent
limitations of online animation. At a time when the brave new hype of hi-tech Internet
content was all the rage, simple black and white cartoons with inanely looping scratchy
sound-tracks were actually more in tune the web’s real speed. Technology put us right
back at the level of early Fleischer Brothers and Felix the Cat cartoons from the
1920’s. (Personally, that suited me just fine.) In 20th Century, our retro-styled, bulb-headed
protagonist traverses an animated timeline, covering 100 years of history in approximately
90 seconds. |
