When Blackton was 19 years old, he and two othe Englishmen (Albert Smith and Ronald Reader) joined forces at an attempt to break into the mainstream scene. Known as the "Komikal Kartoonist" [2], Blackton created an act where he would draw rapid images upon an easel and would quickly modify the images as an attempts to show motion, however this failed and it forced Blackton back into the common work force. At this time he became a reporter and artist for a New York newspaper and had the life altering chance to meet Thomas Edison.
