migraine boy
a comic strip created by cartoonist greg fiering.
usually presented in black and white 6-panel strips, the comic is set in a typical american suburban neighbourhood backyard, and deals with a bad-tempered kid suffering from chronic migraine, and his interaction with his neighbour who constantly approaches him trying to befriend him.
the stories have a grim, sometimes absurd or surreal sense of humor, and often end up with migraine boy reacting violently to the irritation produced by his neighbour.
in 1996, animation studio greenhead media produced a series of 12 thirty-second short clips for mtv, animated by james dean conklin, which were aired as fillers over the duration of that year.

the “censored eleven” is a group of looney tunes and merrie melodies cartoons that were withheld from syndication by united artists in 1968. they decided to pull these 11 cartoons from broadcast because of perceived racist depictions of african americans and are deemed too offensive for contemporary audiences. however, the cartoons have since appeared unedited on various websites.
