Brilliant Procrastination (Or Contemplation of Looney Tunes)

I am taking a wonderful class on the History and Theory of Animation, but my adoration of the course does little to alleviate my skills of procrastination.  I am something of a phenomenon.  
I have a five page paper due tomorrow on a Warner Brothers Looney Tune entitled "Book Revue" and I've just discovered the focus of my writing (!).  Typography plays a significant role in this work, adding punctuation to the gags that drive the scatting narrative of the tale(s).  The oracle that is GOOGLE reveals a stunning array of folks who also find these typographic treatments inspiring.  I've included a few LINKS below.
