The fine folks over at Typographica have unearthed a cartoon and type-lover’s goldmine: Warner Bros. Cartoons Title Card Gallery!
Growing up watching these shorts on TV, I never saw a lot of these beautiful examples of lettering because the Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show would always replace the cartoons’ credits with generic titles to shave the time down.
Luckily, the new DVD collections of the Looney Tunes keep all the classic title cards intact. (As do the Disney Treasures tin boxes of classic Disney shorts, for that matter).
UPDATE: more here!
