Yob! Yob! Where's MY YOB?!?




Here, of course, is the title animation cell from the cartoon featuring little Mott (or Yob, depending). Mott is yet another Chuck Jones character who is seem in one amazing cartoon and then never again. This feature is the dream sequence of a man in a hospital waiting room, pacing as he awaits the doctor with news of his new child. Good stuff.



So why is this important? Why bring it up?
Well...
It seems that LJ enthusiast and friend to Wednes: [livejournal.com profile] jezaimee has taken the time to make and send me a bloody and terrifying zombie baby who reminds me of a horrific version of said Yob.



Yeah...uncanny isn't it? And so...I've decided that his name shall be Yob. I was looking him over, this baby by the name of Yob...and he's a zombie baby. And as such, his name shall be Yob Zombie.

Have you ever heard anything more fitting in all your life?
I thought not.


In other news, I am back in touch with yet another old boyfriend from college. This one, in fact, is the first guy I ever um...knew in the biblical sense. Turns out, he's had a heckuva life and we're having fun catching up. Good old Google! Then later, I found my Aunt (who is the sister of my evil mother) and wrote to her at her work address. It seems that she is a school principal, which is cool. When I knew her she was a teacher who took education ver, VERY seriously. She hasn't written back yet, but I'm pleased that I had the guts to reach out to her anyway.


Am I the only one who thinks Turkey Struggles with Bird Flu is a hilarious headline?

I remember that cartoon! I had forgotten it. Sometimes they'd show the other Warner toons between the biggies when I was little. Very cool!

Oh, and Yob Zombie is a great name for your baby.

I thought so too!

You know, it's funny--I didn't know the name of this cartoon at first, or even for sure if it was Warner Bros. Then I googled "Yob Yob Where's my yob" and found it.

Go figure.

I love how Google is the opposite of the phone book in that you don't need a fucking thesaurus to use it.

That cartoon looks vaguely familiar. Yob Zombie is a great name (and horrible pun).

Cool about getting in touch with folks. Have you heard anything from your brother?

heheheh

Funny thing about that, I'm going thru this whole thing in therapy about why I'm too chicken-shit to write to my brother. They seem to think I should hold off contacting him until I'm ready...and for now, I agree.

Right now I'm so close to turning my life around the right way, I dont' want anything to put me off my game. And a rejection from my brother at this point would send me into a huge depression...whch is the last thing I want when I'm close to getting back to work.

I will surely be letting everyone know when something happens on that front.

That makes a whole lotta sense to me. I'm so glad for you that you're turning things around. Good job!

Why thanks. It's slow going, but you know...it's not a race.

Hey! I remember Mot/Yob! Chuck Jones kicks ass.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-01-08 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I daresay he is one of my all time favortie cartoon makers.

I also like the cartoon where the drunk stork mixes up the giant baby and the regular size baby.
Not to be confused with the one where the drunk stork delivrs Bugs Bunny to the apes (one of whom is named Elvis).

Okay, now these I have no memory of.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-01-08 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, the ape cartoon is a Friz Freeling.

Now that I've looked it up, the giant baby ep is also a Freeling.

So there ya go.

Not quite as impressive as the pics you've been posting, but still very nice.
