Max Fleischer (1883-1972) was for years considered Walt Disney's only real rival in the world of cartoon animation. The man behind the creation of such legendary characters as Betty Boop and the animation of Popeye the Sailor and Superman, Fleischer asserted himself as a major player in the development of Hollywood entertainment.

Out of the Inkwell: Max Fleischer and the Animation Revolution is a vivid portrait of the life and world of a man who shaped the look of cartoon animation. Also interested in technical innovation, Fleischer invented the rotoscope-a device that helped track live action and allowed his cartoons to revolutionize the way animated characters appeared and moved on-screen.

In the 1920s, Fleischer and his brother Dave teamed up to create a series of "Out of the Inkwell" films, which led to a deal with Paramount. Their character KoKo the Clown introduced new animation effects by growing out of Fleischer's pen on-screen. As the sound revolution hit film, the studio produced shorts featuring the characters interacting with songs and with the now-famous bouncing ball that dances across lyrics projected on the screen.

Max Fleischer's story is also one of a creative genius struggling to fit in with the changing culture of golden age cinema. Out of the Inkwell captures the twists and turns, the triumphs and disappointments, and most of all the breathless energy of a life vibrantly lived in the world of animation magic..

God is always talking to us, and no matter who we are, where we are, what we've done or not done, we cannot be separated from Him. These are only two of the meaningful revelations Tony Arnold shares with us in this remarkable book.

In the depths of despair, Tony called out to God and said, "Either take me or use me now." His marriage was over, he had no job, and no way to provide for his adored baby daughter. God answered his prayer, but not in a way that Tony expected. That night he awoke near midnight with the unexplainable urge to write. "What am I supposed to write?" he asked. "Write down what I tell you," came the answer.

What follows is a remarkable dialogue between Tony and God: a dialogue about the creative powers of humans, our oneness with God, Heaven on earth, and love. As God leads Tony to new knowings and better ways of living, the reader is drawn along on a meaningful journey of discovery and letting go - letting go of fear and judgment in favor of peace and wisdom.

"There is wisdom here for every reader - for those who are lost and scared, for those searching for the meaning of life, and for those who simply want to be closer to God.".

WARNING: This book can seriously damage false beliefs, create paradoxes, impair your ability to operate under false pretenses and may be hazardous to those pregnant with misconceptions. It should be carefully digested, as it can cause dizzy spells, followed by spasms of shock at previous actions and mistakes, as well as breathless feelings of joy towards self and others. Symptoms of freedom and empowerment may also be accompanied by a weird sense of self-responsibility, which could last a lifetime. It may also bring on the feeling that you frequently need to meditate. If so, sit down immediately and meditate for about 15 – 20 minutes until insight is achieved and you will feel better..

It's not just what you write, it's what you write it with. In a world where e-mailing and word processing are the new norm, nostalgia for fountain pens, inkwells, and other erstwhile desk accessories is on the rise. What's more satisfactory--signing a letter with a Bic or a black rubber gold-nibbed 1950s Parker Duofold? For lovers of pen and ink, The Write Stuff is an informative book on the history of ink and ink containers, pen making, and collecting.

Filled with black-and-white photographs and illustrated advertisements (plus a 31-page full-color section), The Write Stuff takes us through the advent of the writing trade up to the rediscovery of the fountain pen in the 1980s. Beginning with Egyptian scribes and lasting until the Middle Ages, inkwells were plain and serviceable and pens made from reeds or feathers. With the Renaissance, inkwells became ornate and were often made of precious metals or delicate porcelain (for the most part, only the wealthy could read and write). The steel pen debuted in the mid-1700s, and not until the 20th century did fountain pens, which are now sought-after collectibles, appear. Inkwells and desk accessories are often of more value than fountain pens, but the pens invoke a fond sentiment for less-hurried times--and these days, represent style, prestige, and power.

Written by Ray and Bevy Jaegers, longtime pen and inkwell collectors, The Write Stuff tends to focus more on the history of the inkwells, pens, and their makers than on how to collect or on the going rate for these collectibles. But they do make you want to push that keyboard aside and reach for a thick sheet of combed cotton paper, a cut crystal inkwell, and a white goose quill. --Dana Van Nest.
