Wow! Milt Gross fever seems to be taking the Net by storm! If you want a quick primer on Milt, here it is from no less than John Kricfalusi who was, as usual, ahead of the trend by posting this way back in 2007!

If you think all of John K’s previous high-falutin’ evaluation of Gross was banana oil, then here’s the real thing, also posted way back in 2007-a big selection of Milt’s newspaper comics with links at the end to even more!

If you have yet to red Craig’s new book, The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story, you may not be aware that Gross went to Hollywood for awhile! Here’s one of the results-a 1939 MGM cartoon adapted from his Count Screwloose!

What’s that? You hadn’t heard about Craig’s new book? His best-selling book to date according to Amazon rank? Available for order elsewhere on this page? Cartoon Brew loves it and shares a rare Milt Gross sketch for animator Bob Clampett just as an excuse to talk about it some more!
