After watching Chronicle cartoonist Nick Anderson’s new animation several times, I still don’t quite know what to say. It’s like something a child might throw together, albeit a child with some serious computing resources as his disposal.
Still, one supposes that the Chronicle‘s only Pulitzer winner must be indulged (even if the Pulitzer was won elsewhere, Jeff Cohen can now tell his golf buddies that he has a Pulitzer winner on staff), so we can probably expect more of these efforts.
Lots of people get thanks from Anderson for helping with the production, including the Chron.com crew (perhaps that explains why they couldn’t maintain Dwight Silverman’s whimsical link blog on the editorial page during his two-week vacation — they were busy breaking new ground!). Maybe next time, someone will help out on the musical side.
