the 1967 jungle book animated film - milton 'milt' kahl drawings

As l've said many times - l love the 1967 Jungle Book film, despite it being a bit too long. Anyway, to celebrate the genius of Milton 'Milt' Kahl, here's some of his sketches and drawings for the characters and film. Also, Buzzie and Flaps are shown, but to save you looking it up, the other two birds are called Ziggy and Dizzie.
Enjoy!

eventful walk home from the pub

Always handy to keep your eyes peeled for action on the walk home from the pub (last night)

 As usual - not much traffic about

 The joys of living by an Army Garrison

 Still no traffic

 Beauty trying to escape it's shackles

 Really prominent directions

 There's always one flower that gets too pissed and lets the side down

A bin getting spit roasted

sorting through some posters

Despite it being a lovely sunny day, l've stayed indoors pratting about. One of the things l did was sort out some old posters, of which, there is a selection below. The Greek football one l liberated in Athens years ago, but have no idea who the teams are. The French one was liberated in Orleans after l had hitch-hiked there with an old girlfriend. Can't work out why some are the wrong way round, some of them are huge, and yes, l am a sad git with 4 ipods!

what a drag it is getting old (part 457)

I may have put these up before but can't be bothered checking (life's too short etc). 
I'm indestructible so l hate to think what l will look like when l am 372. It's bad enough now!

neil kinnock condolences letter and spacemen 3 - revolution

As unlikely a scenario as it may have seemed a few years ago, the nightmare is coming true, as Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt battle it out to be the next Conservative Prime Minister. What a fucking choice - it's like someone asking me if l want my left or right bollock blasted off. Either outcome is shit, and with Donald Trump as United States President, things really are looking grim.
I thought things were bad years ago when Neil Kinnock lost out on becoming Prime Minister. I even went so far as to write and offer my condolences to him, and here's the reply l got (It's my old address, so don't bother trying to find me there). Political leaders have certainly gone downhill since then. Where's a revolution when you want one? Bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
