This month you can enjoy the 1941 Chuck Jones cartoon "Joe Glow, the Firefly". It's one of the Jones shorts that fall under the cute, Disney-inspired category, prevalent in his early directorial works. While the plot isn't anything particularly funny, this is a visually stunning cartoon, where Chuck used the limitations of black and white as an advantage, with a wonderful artistic result. A cartoon like this in color just wouldn't be the same.
If you haven't already seen this little masterpiece, then this is your chance to do it!
