blast from the past
I've been researching Fifties/early Sixties graphic arts recently, and got thinking about a couple of animated one-shot cartoons which I found weirdly frightening as a very small kid. (But not so scary that I wouldn't watch them.)
I couldn't remember the titles of either one, so had to search by what I could remember of their content. I managed to find the first one, but couldn't find the right search terms to nail the second one. Then I had a theory: their look and vibe was so similar, I suspected they had the same director. So I found his name -- Izzy Sparber -- looked up a list of his works, and there was my second one.
With their dark humour, stylized animation, and graphic look, these are archetypal Fifties cartoons.
