Ladislas Starewicz's The Mascot
By using techniques such as moving his puppets during the film exposure to get blur effects, rear screen projection, coupled with a delicate but assured handling of mise en scène, Starewicz creates a film in 1933 that seems more solidly alive than anything being produced today. I recommend you check out the write up of the Mascot on senses of cinema if your interested further in this incredibly innovative film and its important place in the history of animation and special effects. If you haven't got the time to watch the entire thing I recommend you click through the second part for some of the best animation. The film is complete in three parts below.

Robert Williams-Masterpiece on the Shithouse Wall (ZAP#6, 1973)
Before he was a painter Robert Williams was a cartoonist by trade. The following pages constitute his incredible debut in ZAP. A visually crowded and complex history and critique of graphic culture, this is probably one of my favorite pieces by Williams.
