"Out of the Inkwell" is a crucial example of self-referentiality but as Herbert implies this strategy is pretty pervasive in animation and in comic strips, as in a number of Harriman's Krazy Kats. And the cultural influence of Mad Magazine parodies on smart kids of the 50s and 60s cannot be underestimated (and needs to be written about by some cultural historian); the full run of Mad is, btw, available again at a reasonable price on dvd. j * * Film-Philosophy Email Discussion Salon.
