	Kim Deitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He has sometimes worked with his brothers, Simon and Seth Deitch, and is the son of illustrator/animator Gene Deitch.
		Kim Deitch has also worked under the pseudonym Fowlton Means.
		His best-known character is a mysterious cat named Waldo, who appears variously as a famous cartoon character of the 1930s, as an actual character in the "reality" of the strips, as the demonic reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, and who, occasionally, is claimed to have overcome Deitch and written the comics himself.

	The Boulevard Of Broken Dreams \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		Deitch ups the ante on his narrative stew by mixing his characters' real lives with their dreams, delusions, cartoons, cartoons about dreams, dreams about cartoons, delusions about cartoons, cartoons about delusions, and so forth.
		Even Deitch's introduction—in which he implies he met some of the book's characters and had a pair of eye-opening encounters with a mystical incense burner—contributes to the mythos.
		Deitch's complex personal success-and-failure-cycle fables are somewhat similar to the gritty city stories of comics pioneer Will Eisner, but his illustration style and his wild, crowded imagery are straight out of the Fleischer brothers' bizarre, psychedelic Betty Boop cartoons.

	UF Conference on Comics & Graphic Novels 2003: Underground(s)
		Deitch can almost be said to have inherited his erudition about animation.
		Back in the 1950s, the young Kim Deitch was able to meet some of the now-legendary figures of cartoon history.
		The happier legacy of the past can be seen in Deitch's own art; with his cartoony lushness and inky vitality, his drawings pay homage to great animators of the 1920s and '30s.

	Montreal Mirror : Cover : Comics : Kim Deitch
		Deitch's style is heavily influenced by cartoons and cinema of the '20s and '30s, something that makes his comics feel especially cinematic.
		And yes, Deitch confirms he even had a brief stint creating a few Wacky Packages, the product-spoof stickers that were a hit in the '70s (Blunderbread was his brainchild).
		Deitch spoke to the Mirror on the eve of his Blue Met appearance, where he'll be previewing his next book, as yet untitled, and conducting a master class.

	eye \| review
		Deitch is the creator of one of the best of these underground comix, Tales of the Sunshine Girl, which appeared regularly in the East Village Other in the 1960s and early 1970s.
		Deitch, whose father was a respected UPA animator during the 1940s and 1950s, developed a primitive cartoon style that conveyed layers of psychological complexity cut with acerbic wit — wedding autobiography to social concern.
		Deitch’s earlier comix have a lighter and more rigid line, here the line is bold, the rendering flawless and the detailing will keep you interested for hours.

	TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: The Transgressive Comix of Kim Deitch
		Kim Deitch, though he has worked in underground comix since the mid-1960s, has unfortunately achieved little of the mainstream recognition afforded such peers as Robert Crumb and Art Spiegelman.
		One of the main themes in "Boulevard," and a main theme in all of Kim Deitch's work, is the blurring of fantasy and reality.
		While Deitch likes to explore the seamy, adult world behind the delightful veneer of kiddy pop culture, the book's central theme becomes the transporting power of great Art — even in the form of a cartoon.

	CNN.com - The strange history of a cartoon cat - Jan. 9, 2003
		When Deitch was growing up, he'd talk to staff animators, many of whom had working in the field since the 1920s.
		Deitch himself had no plans to be an animator, but he had been entranced by cartooning since he was a child.
		Deitch wrote Gould a sheepish, apologetic letter to accompany his work, and to his surprise got a response.

	Cinescape - Home - Editorial
		Kim Deitch has been writing and drawing comix that center on the character of Waldo the cat for at least twenty years.
		Deitch narrates the experience of espying a toy which is a dead-ringer for Waldo at a swap meet; his companion, Pam, collects old-time cat novelty items - mostly figurines and dolls - and together they determine that they are interested in the doll.
		Naturally, the next day, Deitch and Pam decide they are willing to pay whatever the owner wants for the doll; but when they return to the swap meet, he's gone, and no-one there remembers the man at all.

	village voice > news > Cat O' Many Tales by R.C. Baker
		Kim Deitch is a born storyteller, though everyone—including his old man, the prominent animator Gene Deitch—felt he was a lousy artist.
		Deitch speaks of his love of silent film—"a fascinating form of literature with words and pictures, just like comics!"—and his admiration for Mondrian's intense abstractions of fl, white, and primary colors.
		Deitch comes by his appreciation of the dark side honestly: As a young man he worked the graveyard shift in a White Plains insane asylum, where Judy Garland once did a hitch.

	Animation World Magazine
		Kim is the son of Gene Deitch, a director with a distinguished pedigree in animation, working his way up the ladder at UPA and then moving on to become Creative Director at Terrytoons.
		Years later, when Kim was producing his own art as part of the initial wave of “underground cartoonists” in the '60s, he realized he had gathered, through his childhood curiosity, a wealth of source material.
		Deitch’s brand of nostalgia stood out for being drawn from the cartoons of the '20s; the rubbery characters look like seedier versions of the fl-and-white figures who flickered out of the studios of Disney, Paul Terry and the Fleischer brothers.

	Comic World News \| Past the Front Racks
		In this volume, Deitch creates an interesting blend of fact and fiction, combining his experiences growing up around animation (Deitch’s father, Gene Deitch, was the creative designer for Terry Toons) with a love for the early Max Fleischer cartoons.
		This is a good opportunity for Deitch to flesh out what happened in the first installment and elaborate on some of the smaller details that are actually very important to the larger story.
		Deitch can also make a stack of animation cels spring to life, as he does several times in the story and here on the back endpaper of the Pantheon Book.

	Fantastic Metropolis » An Interview with Kim Deitch
		Kim Deitch is one of the premiere alternative comics artists working today.
		This graphic novel is at once a historical fiction, a work of dark fantasy, a psychological investigation of the relationship of two brothers, and an astute commentary on the neutering of an artistic medium.
		Deitch’s story blends drama and humor in a non-linear, meta-fictional, narrative with fl and white pen work that in its complexity of imagery at times achieves the hallucinatory.

	SAVANT:: Thankful for You
		Kim Dietch's THE BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS is a sprawling epic starting at the birth of animation at the turn of the 20th century and ending in 1993, with an amusing Beavis and Butthead reference that makes one infer that things aren't as rosy as they once were.
		Waldo the cat is a mischievous force of creation-a "demon from Hell," according to some-which haunts the dreams of cartoonists, from the put-upon Ted to Deitch himself.
		As the drug takes effect, Deitch is sucked into the most vivid hallucination ever, which is very reminiscent of the old cartoons watched by the girl without a mouth in the TWILIGHT ZONE movie.

	About The Cat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Gene Deitch's character The Cat appeared in comic strips and panels in the jazz collector's magazine The Record Changer during the late 1940s.
		Deitch, father of underground cartoonist Kim Deitch (Waldo, Hollywoodland), was an inveterate jazz collector during the hobby's postwar heyday, and his comics capture the over-the-top obsession of the hardcore music fan as only an insider could.
		The elder Deitch's work hasn't yet been collected, but a number of The Cat strips appear in the third issue of Robert Crumb's comix anthology Weirdo, which is still available from its publisher, Last Gasp Of San Francisco (777 Florida Street, San Francisco, CA 94110; 1-800-848-4277).

	Meet Academy Award Winning Cartoonist Gene Deitch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Every jazz swinger in the ’40s was called a cat (as in ‘cool cat’), so Deitch created a cartoon feature for Record Changer titled "The Cat," which quickly became a fixture at the popular jazz magazine.
		He also started drawing the covers, which graced almost every issue from 1945 to 1951 along with "The Cat." Deitch’s stylistically virtuoso images exquisitely embodied the essence of jazz and became a visual paean to the joy of collecting and appreciating jazz.
		Deitch, of course, later went on to become an Oscar-winning animator as the Creative Director of CBS/Terrytoons, where he created Tom Terrific and Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog for The Captain Kangaroo Show, as well as many other animated features.

		And said attention will be rewarded; Deitch apparently treats his correspondence much like he treats his comics, overloading the pages with ideas and tales and bites of old-timey ephemera.
		And if all of this sounds like a perfect Deitch story with a perfect Deitch hero (the club’s founder even experiences a vision at one point, an all-time favorite Deitch device), it’s maybe because Deitch is as compelling a storyteller in prose as he is in comics.
		And Kim’s not the only Deitch present and contributing: brother Simon presents a lovely four-page spread of original EC/Atlas-style horror comics covers, all of which were purportedly revealed to him in his dreams.
