Shelly’s still at it!
The other day I was in a rush, but this time I had a minute to watch him dance (he doesn’t mind) and try and draw him a little better. I hope you like it!

“Slippy Toes” Shelly
Old Shelly just received great news. If you asked his friends they couldn’t tell, though. He got his nickname long ago for celebrating the littlest things with a happy dance. Also, today’s raining, so he would have spent the day dancing cheerfully anyway. But on top of that, he’s going to be a daddy! He’s so happy I don’t think he’ll stop in weeks, probably not even in his sleep.

More jelly bones
Remember my post about Donald O’Connor‘s great number in “Singin’ in the Rain”? He was like a superdancer from Planet Rubberjoints, right? Well, obviously he wasn’t the only Rubberjointian to visit our planet. Check out this number from the movie “Stormy Weather”, performed by the Nicholas Brothers (but be ready to flinch a few times, because apparently these guys skipped a few anatomy lessons in school):

I want jelly bones too
I saw “Singin’ in the Rain” when I was a kid, but I don’t remember much of it apart from its classic main musical number, performed by Gene Kelly. After stumbling upon the next clip this morning, I’ve decided to watch the whole movie again. I was laughing out loud by the middle of the clip, and also feeling a terrible urge to start jumping around like a madman.
Didn’t try it, though: I’m not even sure some of those moves (and faces) are humanly possible. They should be, because they look natural and CGI wasn’t around in 1951 (right?). Which leaves me wondering: was Donald O’Connor human? Did he have jelly bones? Perhaps he was a Looney Tunes character in (a not very good) disguise? Judge for yourself:

And please, tell me your opinion… I’m really worried about this issue.
