Took Flip a little longer than that to mend his ways, but it was a start.
Zigman, there was a Japanese-US collaboration on an animated feature. It’s gorgeous to look at and has some lovely visuals. Story-wise, they gave him a chattering flying squirrel sidekick, and you can probably calculate from that just how much they cared about the original story and characters. It’s well worth watching with the sound off.
Love the military backgrounds to panels two and three, suggesting that a massive effort is going on behind the scenes in preparation for a cataclysm of violence. And yet it’s so stylized, so decorative, so serene. The armed forces must be a fine institution — just look at their lovely uniforms, their crisply coordinated precision. Until you burst into the space where they’re utilizing all that precision to coordinate Death. McCay doesn’t simply tell a funny story. He challenges our complacent attitudes, much as Flip does.

I remember in the movie they wanted to shoot him from a cannon to the outer space.
