Hey, Don. How's it goin'? The other day I finally got around to seeing Ralph Bakshi's 'Heavy Traffic' over on YouTube and it started me to wondering if you had any interest in covering any of Ralph Bakshi's films such as 'Traffic', 'American Pop', 'Fire and Ice' (which was a collaboration with Frank Frazetta), 'Hey Good Lookin', or his unfinished 'Lord of the Rings'? I've always thought Bakshi's seventies and early eighties films had the potential to be some of the best of their period but they never quite came out the way you get the impression Bakshi wanted them to, probably part of the reason why they're all so obscure (notice I barred 'Fritz', which you've covered, from that list).
Also, now that I've gotten over my initial creeped-out state, what are the odds you'll do a write-up on the "first claymation motion picture," "The Adventures of Mark Twain" from 1985?
Thanx.
RIP Danny Federici

I'll probably cover more of Bakshi's films as time goes on, tho of course, in covering Fritz, I was more interested in the R. Crumb connection, than Bakshi. I can't say exactly how long it'll be before I expand my Bakshi coverage, tho, because I don't do these things on a schedule.
