Chris Ware: This American Life

chris-ware-thisamericanlife.jpg

Chris Ware animates a segment from the new Showtime edition of This American Life. It’s the story of a class that becomes obsessed with video-taping everything everyone does… until, like Lord of the Flies, things go awry.

Thanks to Brenden, for the link.

    Yay! This is totally perfect and I hope they continue to use his animation throughout the series. I’m hearing good buzz on this show! Love the radio version.

    I don’t think an animated Jimmy Corrigan would work, though, I think it works BECAUSE it’s comics, but I”m all for adult themed animation in general, and more of it!

    That was just beautiful. I love the homage to old Disney educational films with the white on black. By the way, if you don’t have showtime. They’re offering it online, or at least the first episode.
