Chuck, I've always thought you were a bit barbaric...now I know why.
I never knew you were a layout artist...and for one of my favorite shows as a 10 year old. You DO learn something new everday!
Do you have any of the original cels? Ookla!
Just a bit barbaric? I'm full-blooded barbarian. Life in polite society has caused me to lose my edge, apparently.
Dave, somewhere I had a huge stack of cels, studies, sketches and general artistic "mayhem" from my studio days, but I haven't seen them in decades. If they still exist, they are in deep storage at my mother's house. I'll keep an eye out for them when the time comes for me to "go through her effects". (I did find a 12.5" full-thickness Pyrex mirror blank hiding there, over the holidays, but got lucky on that one.) Since she isn't in the house I grew up in anymore, there is also the chance that they never made the move with her, which would be sad. I thought I was thorough but moving her was a long time ago and I can't remember for sure. I was an apartment dweller back then and didn't have the room for most of my own crap. I also worked on feature-length cartoon called "Scruffy", IIRC. I just missed out on some Scooby-Doo, Rickety Rocket, and Plastic Man episodes due to date of hire. The same studio had contracts for those cartoons as well.
