smoothing the bumps for a boy and his dog

My many thanks to fellow member of the League of Savannah Bloggers, Ivan, for this timely post. As soon as I read it, I knew action was warranted.
After all, Sam Johnson would have wanted it that way.
I consider it a belated, by three months, birthday gift for him.
The project involves the restoration, and publishing in dvd and blu-ray formats, of fifteen animated silent short movies.
That's right, I said silent animated shorts.
Tommy José Stathes is the young man with the plan to re-introduce today's audience to the antics of Bobby Bumps and his dog. The films were created for about ten years, beginning around 1915, by Earl Hurd, one of the pair of inventors of cel animation, the tool that allows all of the beloved animated shorts in the annual film festival right here in scenic Savannah as well as all over the world.
Thanks, Earl!
T.J. Stathes has already set it as his task to rescue the works of the Bray Studio from obscurity. Thanks to the Bray Animation Project, he has been doing so with restoration of other animated comics into two collections for the public.
Now, on IndieGoGo, T.J. Stathes has "Historic Bobby Bumps cartoons on Blu-Ray and DVD!". His goal with this third project is to acquaint today's cartoon-lovers with Bart Simpson's great-great-great-great-great-Uncle.
Thanks, TJ!
I am now the 73rd backer of this worthy undertaking!
In memory of my dear friend, Sam Johnson, I have added a mere thirty dollars into the project's coffers. Should it be successful, I'll be rewarded with a signed postcard from Mr. Stathes and my very own copy of the cartoon collection of Bobby's antics and misadventures with Fido.
I'll be waiting...!
