Flash animated editorial cartoons

Posted by Bryan on 2/28/08 • Categorized as Flash, fun

If you want to get people involved in learning Flash, one way to do that is to make it more fun, and nothing is more fun than cartoons (at least, nothing you can do in print!).

There are a couple of editorial cartoonists out there who are doing flash-based editorial cartoon animations.

One is Mike Thompson of the Detroit Free Press. Check out his weblog and see some of the animations, along with his regular print editorial cartoons. Another is Grey Blackwell at the Raleigh News-Observer. Check out the videos here to see some examples of his work. UPDATE: Also, Nick Anderson from the Houston Chronicle. Check his work out here (look on the right side of the screen for his "channel").

Update: Thanks to Mindy McAdams for reminding me about this topic with this post.

If you've got a good editorial cartoonist on staff, maybe they could be hooked up with a Flash designer, or use the opportunity to learn on their own, and create some Flash-based editorial cartoons for the web site.
