Cartoon Sunday: David Firth's A Day In Hell

How's it going lurkers? Several hours after publishing and sharing yesterday's Song Saturday blog, I learned that Adam West died from leukemia at the age of 88. If you would like to learn more about the ORIGINAL Batman and the late voice actor of Family Guy's Mayor West, The Hollywood Reporter published an article at the following:

The Hollywood Reporter: Adam West, Straight-Faced Star of TV's 'Batman,' Dies at 88

RIP ADAM WEST!!! He will truly be missed by many generations of his Batman fans, including yours truly.

Aside from the tragic news about the late Adam West, Japan Pop Culture HQ shared a link on their Google Plus page regarding the Live Action Movie for Tokyo Ghoul on Friday.

Japan Pop Culture HQ is late to sharing this news around social media. However, you can still read about Tokyo Ghoul's Live Action Movie on Anime News Network, in the link below.

Meanwhile, some of my long-time subscribers should recall, that I published a Cartoon Sunday blog last May featuring 2 highly graphic and disturbing Stop Motion Animated Shorts by David Firth and Adam Rosenberg.

David Firth's "Crooked (Orcus) Rot" and Adam Rosenberg's "Manny" were very similar to each other. In case you missed this particular Cartoon Sunday blog last May, it is HERE for your viewing pleasure.

Today I am sharing another disturbing Stop Motion Animated Short by David Firth. In fact, this short precedes his 2008 short, "Crooked (Orcus) Rot." "A Day In Hell" was created by Firth in 2003.

Watching these shorts by the animator continues to be abstract and graphic filled with WTF? Moments. 

If you have ZERO interest in highly graphic and abstract art, chances are highly great, that David Firth's Stop Motion Animated Shorts will be of no interest to you.

Firth's animation is filled with disturbing and highly graphic images. His work is THAT disturbing. 

Now, some may argue that David Firth's Stop Motion Animated Shorts are more like watching "Gore Porn," since his shorts can be extremely bloody and violent much like a Splatterpunk Horror film.

You may be asking, "Huh? What is Splatterpunk?" If you need a better understanding of the term, Splatterpunk, here is a vlog by The Audiopedia explaining about the Horror sub-genre.

After watching the preceding video by The Audiopedia, I am starting to believe that 1 of my 3 more recent Short Horror Stories, "The Horrors Of Womanhood," qualifies as being a Splatterpunk Horror Story.

As you watch "A Day In Hell," you will quickly notice there are some elements of Splatterpunk Horror incorporated into this Stop Motion Animated Short. With that being said, here is David Firth's "Hell" for today's Cartoon Sunday.
