#how the grinch stole christmas 1966

[anyataylorjoys]

And the Grinch with his Grinch feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling. "How could it be so? It came without ribbons, it came without tags, it came without packages, boxes or bags." He puzzled, and puzzled until his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "perhaps, means a little bit more."

Not exactly the right quote with the right image, but it seemed to fit better.

I drew this in December of 2022, copying a still from How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966) Christmas special, narrated by Boris Karloff.

Although I didn't think so at the time, this is probably the best thing I drew in 2022. I'm still pretty pleased with how it came out, although now I would’ve coloured him with felt-tip or brush pens, to get the smoother, 2D cartoon look. I don't care much for the grainy, pencil look I ended up getting here.

How'll The Grinch Steal Christmas

For my Christmas drawing, I decided to draw out one of my all-time favorite Xmas stories: "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" I always watch the classic animated special made by Chuck Jones every month of December, I feel like it isn't Christmas without getting my Grinch fix.

I've noticed that the already iconic Xmas icon has received a significant amount of more attention this year. With a Walmart commercial promoting some Grinch merchandise, a video game, and even a new sequel book to the original story. I feel like these are all just ways to milk the property for their respective companies, which ironically enough goes against the whole moral of the story!

But nonetheless, it's giving the loveable rotten grump some recognition. And the one positive outcome of it all is having people(like myself) come back to the original classic story, and the Chuck Jones animated short.

Update: I have a post discussing my thoughts on the recent Grinch Walmart commercial for anyone interested: My Thoughts on the Grinch Walmart Commercial by TheJollyOrangeArtist on DeviantArt

You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch

So this Christmas Season, I thought I would feature some of my Christmas music and videos.

First up, we have the original ''You're A Mean One, Mr. Grich'', from the classic animated feature staring Boris Karloff, ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas''.

Boris Karloff was the narrator, and the voice of the Grinch in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, 1966.

It's a shame that Boris and Ted had to clash in the same poll. Before Boris, Ted Cassidy was my first favourite actor and Lurch was my comfort character. In fact, without the Addams Family, I doubt I ever would've got into Frankenstein and Boris Karloff.

Here’s some propaganda for both, but mainly Boris:

Ted Cassidy Vs. Boris Karloff

Propaganda

Ted Cassidy - (The Addams Family) - No text propaganda

Boris Karloff - (Thriller, The Veil, Colonel March of Scotland Yard) - Boris Karloff may be mostly remembered for his horror movies, but he also had a substantial television career! Lots of people know him today from his Thriller series, in which introduced each episode as himself, but also acted in three episodes. In the 1950s, he introduced and acted in "The Veil", a series that never aired, but can be watched on YouTube today. He also starred as the titular character in "colonel March of Scotland Yard" and guest starred on several TV shows throughout the 1950s and 60s, such as "The Name of the Game", "I Spy", famously in drag in "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E" and many others. He was even awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for television! Boris Karloff is my all-time favourite actor, he was magnificent and so versatile, and by all accounts was a lovely person to work with and know in real life.

On the 7th day of Christmas, Ant-Man gave to you:

A little story about me as a kid. Actually, it's sorta a Christmas story and sorta a Halloween story.

I love both holidays very very much. Like they're pretty well tied for first place, but I guess Christmas is in first place by like *almost pinches fingers together* that much.

Anyway, I love both holidays, and I decided when I was like really little, maybe like 5 or 6, that I would combine both holidays into one. How? Simple enough for a little munchkin like me. I would go as the Grinch for Halloween.

I love the 1966 cartoon. To me, that's the best version of the story. It's definitely a tradition for me to watch it every Christmas season. Heck, I can recite the whole cartoon by memory! Songs and all!

And you're in luck, gang. My momma still has a photo of me when I dressed as the Grinch for Halloween. I don't know why it's black and white though. It just is. See below!

TA DA! I'm such a cutie, huh?
