I received The animated Peter Lorre as an early birthday present and I absolutely love it! Its an enthralling read as a fan of both Peter Lorre and animation history(I'm still surprised by how many characters I grew up with, who I didn't know were Peter parodies till I read the book) and I'm thrilled to own it for myself.....but I do have an issue with it(cause god forbid I enjoy anything without finding something to later complain on tumblr about)

OK so this is the epilogue

And I just.....

#like im sorry im being such a jerk csuse obviously im eternally grateful that someone took the time to compile an index about every peter #lorre caricature/reference in animation they could find #but how does one compile such an index and not notice that references to the actual peter lorre went out the door a loooong time ago #but anyway this is a very cool book #i remember becoming obsessed with the beatles cartoon for a brief period a few years back for how damn weird it is #and one of the funniest things anout it to me was George harrisons weird ass changeable accent #and i had no clue that he sounded like that because his VA just gave him a peter lorre impression #the one about weevil from yugioh was interesting too #cause i grew up with that anime but ive seen yugioh abriged so many times in my teens that i can only hear him sounding like beavis lol #also im pleased about the chameleon from Tuff puppy #cause thats one i actually did recall all by myself and it was nice to have it confirmed #peter lorre #the animated peter lorre #also i dont agree about petes actual image slipping away #if anything i think its the opposite #in an era where his older films are easier for any jo schmo to watch than ever #(i still have faith that well see more of The missing wife in my life time)#i think petes parodies help new generations discover him #whenever i first discovered peter lorre part of my fascination was the weird familiarity i already had of him from cartoons #and now ive been obsessed with him for over two years #matthew hahn #just realised i spelt his name wrong in the meme fml
