| 释义 |
Animal Crackers is the title of several syndicated newspaper comics over the years. The first was a 1930 comic strip signed by an artist known simply as Lane. The second Animal Crackers was a cartoon panel by Dick Ryan and Warren Goodrich (1913–2002) that was published intermittently from 1937 through 1957. In some papers it ran as Animal Krackers. The third began in 1967 and continues today, distributed by Tribune Content Agency[1] and appearing on Andrews McMeel Universal's GoComics, which is run by Universal Uclick.

Sometimes it would work, and sometimes it wouldn't. It seems the funny things are just short of tragic."[5] In later years, Goodrich drew a spin-off cartoon series, Creatures, collected in the book Creatures Or Not So Dumb Animals (Eden East Press, 2001). Although Goodrich drew his animal cartoons for years and then wrote newspaper columns ("Travelin' Man") and several books (An Artist's Life), his lasting fame came with a single drawing, "The Little Man," which he drew in 1942. Used alongside San Francisco Chronicle film reviews as a movie rating system, this Goodrich device was praised by Roger Ebert,[6] Gerald Nachman,[7] Austin Kleon,[8] and other writers.
