There, now that the obligatory warning sign has been flashed its time to watch some innovative cartooning. For those of you who can appreciate the sinewy, self-deprecating humor of shows like Augenblick's Superjail! or Antonucci's Brothers Grunt, Vince Collin's short Malice in Wonderland (1982) is right up your alley.Clocking in at a little over 4 minutes, Malice in Wonderland explores a darker side of the tale than Disney's classic interpretation. Chock full of animated shapes, colors and sounds that merge in and out of one another like a giant worm, Malice and Wonderland is clearly meant as a sexual metaphor. Exactly what kind eludes me, but there's no doubting Collins' creative intent is targeted at the Robert Crumb crowd of cartoonists.
There's a few more examples of Collins' work available on his YouTube account and they're all equally psychedelic. I encourage you to watch them all and thanks goes out to Lost At E Minor for bringing this little gem to my attention. The strangeness continues to evolve.
