How about ol Smedley Butler https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/55/40/ef554048e92179c47cf97c17869b334b.jpg

I've made much more progress on the theme song front.

Wait, a theme song?

It's just a silly unofficial idea that doesn't mean much, but it's narrowed down to On the Turning Away or Keep Talking by Pink Floyd.

On The Turning Away

A+++

I think Smedley was a limited hangout, good to a certain degree, but not all the way.

Back then there was incredible turmoil. injustice, unfairness, unbalance, and class war - like now. All the "good" guys of prominence now are, knowing or not, limited hangouts who refuse to look at certain matters.

I'm sure that many could say I am a limited hangout, via my ignorance, but I'm not afraid to look at any issue and call out power.

Or any frame from this : /s/MusicVideos/comments/8je/inshadow_a_modern_odyssey_animated_short_film/

I can't stop watching the "In Shadow" animation that I discovered via that pirated exclusive TLAV video. But that's not the funny part.

One particular scene in it with US flag draped coffins vanishing into a single perspective reminded me of something I did. Here's the funny bit.. I wrote that article about activist animation ( /s/MusicVideos/comments/8jg/pretrutherism_101_open_animation_project_formerly/ ) a while ago, and I even included a couple of my own animations at the end, but I'd forgotten to include this little activist music video I'd animated for a friend I'd worked on a Burning Man art book with. I have it backed up somewhere but the second joke is that the old 2005 Adobe Flash doesn't play on my 2018 Brave browser. I hated Flash then, and I hate it now. I only did it in Flash because he wanted to stream it, and back then it was still a big file despite my efforts at getting it tight.

So here's one of the few things I ever (painfully) animated in Flash (not up to my preferred standards), an anti-war music video for Ian Rhett's "(I Know Why You're) Semper Fi" dedicated to his sister who was serving in Okanawa : http://www.sharedvoice.org/semper_fi/
