Black History Day 3: Cab Calloway.
Cab Calloway was groundbreaking as one of the first African-American musicians to be prominently featured on film. His work with the “Betty Boop” cartoons (as seen above) was legendary because it was basically the grandfather of what we know now as motion capture animation. They recorded Cab singing and dancing (dancing which included an early version of the moonwalk so take that Michael Jackson) and they TRACED HIS MOVEMENTS FRAME BY FRAME to translate them into the character he was playing. None of that unitard covered in ping-pong balls mess. Painstaking frame by frame tracing to capture his motions. You can watch full length versions of the Betty Boop cartoons featuring Cab Calloway pretty easily. I think they’re all on YouTube and they’re in the public domain so they’re easy to find and download. The names of the cartoon shorts are “Minnie the Moocher”, “Snow White ”, and “The Old Man of the Mountain”.
So go watch them now and appreciate a hard-working black musician who pioneered the jazz genre and was a key player in animation advancement.
Also prepare to feel like you’ve drops eight gallons of acid because the Fleischer brothers were high as fuck when they made these. People turn into frying pans, buildings, anti-semitic stereotypes and Bulgarians at the drop of a hat. Others deflate. Some turn into Olympic medals. Chickens emerge from every conceivable orifice. Cab Calloway appears as a walrus.

We are a small but fiesty fest with a wonderfully diverse set of fanworks. It’s exactly what I was hoping for!
Art
Venom Quote Valentine’s Cards (implied Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote, General) by nemmica
These are delighful – a good mix of funny and cute. I laughed and nawwwed. Also, they look edible, which is super on point.
Fiction
You’re A Snack, But You’re Much More Than That (Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote/Anne Weying, Mature) by strangeallure
I love the sly Venom-voice in this, as Venom learns what Eddie reacts to from from movies and TV, and then puts it into practice. It’s funny and charming by turns.
Venom’s Guide to Humans (Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote, General) by Skull_Bearer
I love the central premise of the guide – it’s funny and cleverly used to comment on Venom’s growing feelings for Eddie. The perfect Valentine’s Day treat.
And They Were Soulmates (Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote, Teen and up) by cupidsbow
This one is by me, so I’ll just say that it’s a ficlet about the symbiote’s oral tradition of storytelling.
Fanmix
the freaks in the middle (Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote, Teen and up) by hopelesse
This fanmix is so great. Every song is on point in terms of the theme, and they go together really well. I can already tell this is going to be a re-listening favourite.
Songvid
Wear you like a suit (Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote, Teen and up) by cupidsbow
This is also by me, and honestly, I think the song choice is hilariously Symbrock, and commenters seem to agree.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
