Just like the types at Drawn!, I'm a huge fan of La Linea, so I'm chuffed to see there's an online archive. I tried to find something about 70s Italian stop-motion cartoon The Red and the Blue but most of what comes up from that search is tossers droning on about that entirely ludicrous Red State / Blue State meme from US politics. (I guess you couldn't really drone on about Left and Right in that context - Centre-Right and Utterly-Insane, perhaps.)

Still, the search did lead me to Francis' Knee.
