About "Appeal": "Almost a commercial spoof... funny, or do you have a banana in your ear?" About "Yo Yo the Clown": "Hand drawn and classic for the time by Chicago animators." About "Superman Trailer": "This guy is the biggest thing in expensive grapic openings. Always state-of-the-art." About "Dog License": "This is one of my all time favorites... tells the story about there's always a bigger dog to eat you up.
