Among the treasures auctioned last month at Swann Galleries' sale of Illustration Art was a cel from "Yellow Submarine" (1968) featuring the Chief Blue Meanie. Note how well the intense color has been preserved.
I don't know precisely where this image appears in the film, but I do know my favorite quotation, written by Erich Segal and spoken not by a Blue Meanie but by Jeremy. "Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo: so little time, so much to know!" That sums it all up.
