Criterion Newsletter Cartoons

I've been getting the newsletter for a few months now, and I'm usually perplexed by some of the cartoons.  Last month said something about "Maxing it out", and now several films by Max Ophuls are planned for release.

This months says: "Baby it's cold outside" with some small house-looking thing?  I figured these cartoons merit discussion, and for the most part (from what I've seen) they go completely beyond me.

Re:Criterion Newsletter Cartoons

The cartoons have been a newsletter standard for a while now. In the newsletter archives on the Criterion site you can check them all out. Here's what the site says about them:

A year of Criterion newsletters also means a year of wacky animals clueing readers in to upcoming releases. The animals don’t always come from the films they’re hinting about, but they do relate to movies somewhere in the Criterion catalog.

So there it is.

I know I'm late to the game, as always, but that cartoon is hinting at an upcoming release of "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold."

Dang, you're good...those kinds of things go completely over my head.  I never would've figured that one out.
