From YouTube: In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.

So you phone your bank/insurance/MP and while you’re on hold, you doodle a few random squiggles that don’t mean anything, and ultimately only represent a waste of precious, dwindling resources, including that illusive spare time. “Oh yes, I’d love you to put me on hold …”
This site celebrates those who make worthwhile doodles. And they fairly rock.
