Sometimes I just have to step in and say, "No, I wasn't high on anything." If you knew how much work went into this you'd realize how impossible that would be. And I was never a drug user.
What a brilliant piece of creativity Sally!
your great...so is kim deitch....everyone thinks you took loads of DMT to inspire you..but being a artist myself i know how much work goes into these masterpieces..
Terence mckenna mentioned you and quasi at the quackadero as the nearest thing to a DMT trip he ever saw...so in one way hes turned alot of people on to you..he was a good intelligent man.
How much work has gone into this? It looks old and in the style of early Sesame Street animation (1970s). I really like this.
@@Zinwaq A lot of work, trust me!
Took a peek at my spam comments and discovered internet "psychics" have tried to lure customers through this video's comment section. Yikes.
This is fabulous! Thanks, Sally.
Incredible
Sally Cruikshank Sally, you're the best ever, I hope the rest of your years are kind and wonderous!
Mark Aziz Mark, thanks for all your kind comments! All best wishes to you too, Sally
Incredible irony, love all your animation!
ever since watching this when I was 18 I ve always said "my plea-s-ure" like anita does. People usually give me a weird look, but it always makes me smile and think of this awesome work
Vanessa, that makes me laugh!
Thanks, Phoenix. It's kind of depressing how many people think it takes drugs to come up with unusual ideas. Blame it on what? I'm not sure.
I'm sorry did you say unusual? Life keeps on flashing before your eyes.
Fell into that trap. My ideas are much more interesting now I've achieved sobriety. It's a myth propelled by those who believe Hendrix was only good due to acid use etc.
Unusual ideas don't always have a real message.
@@junkachu4919 agreed
I watched this high. I laugh hysterically for the first 5 mins then spent the next 3 mins curled up in a ball crying and confused in a state of panic.
because high is a mast... not as a novice of 420dew
MiguelMValentine
I'm with you on that Miguel-
Whoa! What are you getting high on, dude?
@B0omer96 makes sense. Congrats on 7 years.
Because the person who came up with this not a good person. Black face is not a good thing, even in the guise of a drug trip.
I can't stop watching these. New cartoons just don't compare. This is so creative and artistic. I show these to my three-year-old!
Hey, thanks Nadine. I'll be moving this and many other films of mine over to Vimeo in months ahead so if you can't find it here look there. TH-cam is most unkind to artists. (More than 2 million views, less than $200)
Sally Cruikshank
Thanks for the heads up!
@@sallycruikshank Still up to this day. And it is very beautiful.
Nah new ones aren't this funny
That's scary.
Dear Sally, I first saw this when I was 9, the year it was made. At the time I was lucky enough to be under the care and influence of Freude Bartlett who showed it to us kids in her living room on a film projector, a few yards from the Serious Business Company building where she taught me to edit film with razors and tape. I was so inspired, many flip books were to follow and eventually became a film maker. I loved this piece so much and it is even better than I remember. One surprise as an adult is that I missed the seemingly obvious plot parallel to Sephen Kings Carrie, so popular at the time and now again. Also, only now do I see the influence on your work from pre code musicals from Berkely to DeMille! Ub Iwerks and Max Fleisher aren't exactly rolling in their graves either! More like dancing with the dancing daisies. Thanks for being brilliant and inspiring so many modern animator e with the freedom and imagination of your work.
Thanks for this interesting and nice message. Freude did so much for independent animators, and for kids too! So sad that she's gone. And oh yeah I love those pre code musicals. Good Luck to you and thanks for sharing this memory of Freude.
Especially love the opening-- it's an animated Johnson & Smith catalog!
Exactly!
My favourite short animation, your style is so captivating
thanks so much!
Yo this is the kinda trippy stuff cartoons are too scared to do. Well done this is great
+Syna Rapaver thank you thank you Syna!
I don't get it.....why doesn't this woman have a million or more viewers/subscribers? Why is there no documentary on her? Once we lose people like her.....they are gone. Let's appreciate at them NOW so they know their appreciated while we are fortunate enough to have them still with us.
I hope someone does do a documentary on her!

I kinda... want a show of this! Thought I recognized this style from the Spongebob Halloween special! Love the weird silliness!
Yoou've got a good eye to recognize this from the Spongebob Halloween special.
I feel like a child watching cartoons for first time ❤
Ah gee that must be a nice feeling!
phenomenal! marvelous! don't know where all the artists unafraid of getting a little noodley like this ran off to, glad your work's here at least! :^)
Thanks Elijah
Memory is so strange, isn't it? I remember jingles for tv ads from the 50's. "Stronger than Dirt"
the world needs more stuff like this . . . .
Thanks, Keisha
Hi- I think Quasi's eyeball outfit predates the Residents- correct me if I'm wrong- wikipedia puts the eyeball head dress for Residents in the 80's, and this was 1978.
Good chance. And I absolutely could imagine you collaborating with them aesthetically, though I don't see evidence of that on your wiki page. Have you?
@@paranormalvideo4599 never collaborated with them though we were all San Francisco based.
yes, he did a comic called 'Frank' about a sort of buck-toothed cat thing...he was mostly obsessed with reptiles though (he was to frogs what you are to ducks)...his comics are raaawwther psychedelic, definitely worth checking out! you might also enjoy Charles Burns' "Black Hole" and "Big Baby", which are much darker, but in the same hallucinogenic vein
(P.S: obligatory fan gushing: you rule, sal!!!!! thank you for generously posting your videos!)
I'm starting to think this is where "Adventure Time" got some of its inspiration. I love it!
Hey all if I haven't replied to your comment it's because this new system of google + managing the comments makes it ?impossible? to reply to messages that came in before google+ took over. Not happy about this.
sally let us know if you are ok
MaLo Ware
sure, still hanging in here
Sally Cruikshank anyone here
Sally Cruikshank hi!! We‘re a British band on an independent label. Wanted to know if it might be possible to get permission to use make me psychic for a promo video for our next single. The animation and our music just fits so perfectly together. Our email: greenseagullband@gmail.com
Beautiful animation Sally. I can understand your situation, as I too make bizarre animation which is often misunderstood. I think it's unfortunate that our culture is so quick to associate imagination with drug use.
you are probably one of, if not the biggest inspirations to me. i love how you believe that animation is limitless in the sense that anything can happen at all. i want to create worlds and characters similar to yours one day, and bring them to life.
Thanks for your thoughtful and encouraging post. Stay inspired!!
Sally is the greatest! These Anita & Fozzy films still hold up for pure crazed fun!
I remember seeing that cartoon on USA's Night Flight program back around '83. I defintely think that it's great. Thanks!
I'm really not sure who did it first-- we were all in San Francisco at that time.
But the only time I cooked turducken it was pretty weird!
oh god, I've stumbled over a fever dream
I just always get such a weird, happy feeling from this cartoon. I have been coming back to this animation since i was 16 and am 25 now
I love the sound Anita makes when she laughs :)
That was so much FUN ! I wish more cartoons had this spirit. Your choice of music was great ,too. (I recognized the names from The Cheap Suit Serenaders.)
this is now my anti-drug
Thanks for your nice comments, everyone. Happy Holidays. You cheer me up! Sally
Quasi looks pretty good for being millions of years old now.
Funny!
everytime i watch it the story changes...
+yashouberry I know! I watch this video everytime I'm high and always changes
I vaguely remember seeing this somewhere when I was younger. Regardless I've been perusing your numerous videos and I must say that I really dig your stuff! Five stars all the way!
I think the eyeball was one of those simultaneous thinking along same lines things. I didn't know who they were at the time, but we were both in San Fran.
This is AMAZING!!!!!!! Coming back to watch again in 2021
Come back again in 2022!
wow, this is a lot of fun to watch, I wish I knew about this channel back when I had an art of the movies class, these short films are amazing!
This was so settling and relaxing. Best time to watch it when you want to go to sleep. :3
Just tripping... just tripping.
Kim Ditech worked on this? Wow, i thought he only did comics!
Thanks so much for the nifty write-up on your blog. I bookmarked it because it looks as if it's fully of good posts. Loved those Danish animal pictures.
This is sooooo trippy😛
no shit
I love your style of animation/art.
Thank you.
something more coherent and family friendly than "Malice in Wonderland" believe you me !
Sally,
I love how your cartoons are like the old Fleischers, with a crazy-cool 70's-Cruikshank twist! By the way, I noticed the flapper girl at 4:51, and a cute one at 4:26 that bears a striking resemblance to Mary Pickford!
LOL! Look at the story! It's a trippier version of Carrie
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love this.
That's so amazing! I knew I recognized your work. Awesome job!
Thanks AeonsOld. In fact it's almost impossible even to make hand drawn animation anymore- the camera services have quit the business, theatres run digital and there's no revenue source.
I feel like I just saw something I shouldn't have
Idk. There's just a limit to how bizarre the human mind can get without trying any kind of psychoactive.
wow, so refreshingly strange. reminds me of the crazy visions i see in my mind every time i doze off.
alright, so i just noticed the huge 1978 at the beginning.
still like it alot,
wow, i saw these on "Night Flight" in the early 80s and they've been festering in the back of my brain ever since. great to see these! now i don't have to fumble when people ask: "what artists are you influenced by?" thanks Sal!!
1:30 ....yo that a Koopa?
I don’t understand what’s happening but this is cool to watch while high
Brilliant! I love this!
Quasi looks and sounds a lot like Scooter from the Muppets.
thanks. I just noticed all the weird related videos that this title brings up!
I love the music they did too.
I remember this from USA Network Night Flight in the late 70s
They were a san fran band at the same time I was a san fran cartoonist, but I didn't go out at night much and never saw them.
I'm so glad I found this! As a kid, I remember seeing this short featured on a segment of some evening news show, heralding the arrival of 'Nu-Wave Animation". Just from that quick glimpse, the imagery and music were unforgettable. Nothing I searched for over the years seemed to click until just today, out of the blue, I finally remember the name of the short, 'Make Me Psychic' ! I had always wanted to see more of this series, your work is very colorful, quirky, and just a hint of playful subversiveness ;)
@xiocrafter I thought I answered you but it didn't show up, I'm sorry. This is an utterly lovely comment you posted, thank you. I was at the actual Pantheon in Rome two weeks ago. Sally
50’s was good times for frog society. They had valuable and skilful members like Michigan J. Frog but in the 60’s drug abuse is started be popular. Things have changed irrevocably after that.
Wow. I didn't knew you help did the traditional animation sequence for that SpongeBob Halloween special.
(Unrelated to this cartoon. This is pretty unique too.)
I wish they'd run the Halloween special again. Thanks.
pure insanity lol:)!
God, wasn't Sally's stuff always amazing?
i enjoy your video's soooo much!
poliwhirl is so CUTE!
Snozzy: is this your idea of a joke!?
Anita: LMAO
This is great! I think I may have seen this, years ago, on KQED back in San Francisco. Great animation, great style!
dude you dont even need to be baked. this already makes no sense
Amazing cartoon.Snozzy in his car looks like a Snapping Turk from Yellow Submarine.
Yeah, that style has always unnerved me... which I like.
"Snapping Turtle Turks"!
He was just a kid then, and did some inking and painting. We had a very jolly time and Tom was fond of practical jokes. I hadn't heard of yer art school before.
I have always enjoyed this weird wonderful little universe of characters. They are so crazy. I really love "Don't Go In the Basement" too.
Thanks, so nice.
Whoa… the music video to don’t go in the basement is really similar to this… Surreal and liminal
Life without Sally Cruikshank's animations .... would be a mistake.
Unfortunately can't do that. The music exists on 35 mag film and 1/4" tape, both obsolete formats. Will have to look into restoring it to a current format but each succeeding format has a shorter and shorter period before obsolescence.
I wonder if The Residents saw this short. It was made the year before they adopted their eyeball attire.
I bet they did. We were all in Bay Area.
Hey hey heyyyyy boys & girls! Do you like that old tv show from Nickelodeon, 'Rocko's Modern Life'? Do you like Klasky Csupo? Do you like grafitti art? Do you want to know what 'Rocko's Modern Life' drawn by a graffiti artist from Klasky Csupo would possibly look like after taking 17 hits of acid??? LOOK NO MORE! :D
who is that
oh you're right! Have not watched any episodes where they referred to him
specifically by name in a lonnng time
Klasky Csupo was many cartoons....early The Simpsons, Rugrats, Aaaah Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberries, Rocket Power.....but Rocko's Modern Life was 100% Joe Murray Productions in house at Nickelodeon Studios Orlando
I knew that already, it was just another part of the silly 'ingredients' list to make things even more absurd ;)
This scares the shit out of me.
Sally, you never cease to amaze me with your stuff. People might think you're on drugs, but everyone says that about mind-bending art. You're like David Lynch or Dali (also non-users who made cool, weird stuff)
i just found out about you today and your creations are delightful, showing these to my friends, amazingly strange
Ha ha thanks. Welcome to my world!
thanks, you're right. It was on KQED long ago.
Hello Sally, i must say this is amazing. I absolutely love this animation for the fact of how unique the design is and how much fun it is (i can imagine it was pretty fun making it as well.) Although i know this wasn't made for trippy purposes, you have to admit, this is pretty damn trippy and i like watching it on a lazy sunday after a good bowl of greenery. Thank you for this creation, i promise i will show my kids "Make me Psychic" if i have any. Once again, splendid work, much praise
I love this cartoon so much! I've watched it a lot over the years & always recommend it to friends. You're work is brilliantly fantastic!
or maybe the residents borrowed Quasi's outfit.
Ten years before I was born
i don't think i ever wanna try acid.
When they started laughing i thought there was going to be a Carrie moment :P Crazy animation (in a good way)
Oh, no problem, I wasn't complaining. I just meant you could ignore that question now since you already answered it here. I have an interest in voice acting and I really enjoyed the voices in these two.
I did also ask what Quasi and Anita's relationship is exactly.
I think I'm getting the fear
thank you.
Meth is helluva drug.
I Know how it feels with the trouble Hand-Drawn Animation faces. even after the success of The Princess and the Frog, it needs further support from those who care about it.
No, I never worked there. I worked at home in California and just got lyrics and demo tracks for the projects.
I really like your animation style here, Sally! It reminds me of the animated segments on Sesame Street I'd see as a kid; they were always my favorites, especially the pinball segments. Musically, there's definitely shades of Spongebob in here as well. Lovely work!
I started in 1971. Not been doing much lately.
?? yes I made this, not sure why you'd even ask. oh well.
This is such a cool cartoon. It really makes me want to animate.
