Cómo hacer el amor a una mujer

More than I'd like to remember. I think every man has, because men are from Mars and women are Venus, we are told, which means they are something very alien. Which is certainly one way of looking at this very funny Bill Plympton cartoon.

Or maybe they're just jokes that are very funny. That's probably it,. However, they wouldn't be as funny if they didn't excite feelings of a rueful, if symbolic realism to them. Ouch.

If you are casually aware of the art of Bill Pympton, then you may not know that he's made some rather raunchy cartoons as well as the familiar TV commercials or shorts like GUARD DOG. While I am not the type person to usually watch them, I've gotta admit that HOW TO MAKE LOVE TO A WOMAN is a very funny film--though it's also one you shouldn't let your kids watch (though with a title like this, what parent in their right mind would consider letting kids watch this?). That's because although it starts off innocently enough, after a while there is lots of nudity as well as phallic references. But, as I said, it's all very, very funny.

By the way, the animation of this short isn't quite like many of Plympton's other shorts, as instead of lots of colored pencil work and shading, this one has solid colored backgrounds. This doesn't look as nice but still works for me.
