Animaland - "The Lion"

Here's another from David Hand's Animaland series, along with some model sheets. I love the animation of the lion as a cub.

Harvey Eisenberg - Foxy Fagan

Here's some scans from Foxy Fagan #7 by Joe Barbera and Harvey Eisenberg. Every panel is perfectly drawn. Enjoy!

Chuck Jones - "Often An Orphan"

This Jones short will be on Volume 6 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection. I love Charlie Dog, he's hilariously irritating, like Gilbert Gottfried.

Fox and Crow - "Room and Bored"

One of my favorite Fox and Crow shorts. I was spoiled until recently, watching Fox and Crow on Animania HD at the end of the Mr. Magoo show. For a few weeks the show would end with a F&C short. They've since starting ending with older Columbia cartoons. It was great to see "Robin Hoodlum" in HD. Hopefully they'll start running them again real soon.

Tex Avery - "Doggone Tired"

Here's a model sheet and layout drawing by Louie Schmitt from Tex Avery's classic "Doggone Tired". Yes, when you come here everything Tex did is considered a classic. There's some great animation from Bobe Cannon who worked for Tex briefly. I wish he had stayed with Tex. His animation in the few shorts he worked on at MGM is some of my favorite work by any animator.

Harvey Eisenberg - Petey Pinfeathers

I thought I already posted this comic from Harvey Eisenberg but apparently I didn't. It's so well drawn that it almost makes me angry. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I haven't had much time to devote to posting.

Preston Blair Swipe

Looks like even Harvey Eisenberg (I think) borrowed from Preston Blair's book for a panel in Tom & Jerry #165.

Little Audrey Model Sheet

These are for Kevin. I don't know what the Melvin model sheet is from. In fact, I don't even remember where I found these.

Harvey Eisenberg - Slapsy Squirrel

Here's another beautifully drawn comic from Red Rabbit #5 by Harvey Eisenberg. Maybe it's just me but that Slapsy looks and awful lot like some other character. Well, if he was created by Joe Barbera.

Art Davis - "The Rattled Rooster"

This Art Davis short may be a little weak on gags but the animation and the rooster character design help redeem it. Great stuff.

Dick Lundy - "Impossible Possum"

I've mentioned before that Michael Lah is one of my favorite animators, and "Impossible Possum" has some great Lah animation in it. Particularly the dance scene. I might be in the minority on this one, but I really love Lundy's Barney Bear shorts. Maybe it's because it's basically Tex's unit.

Pixie and Dixie - "Puppet Pals" (w/ music IDs)

I've always had a soft spot for the Huckleberry Hound show even in spite of the drop in the animation quality compared to what most of these guys were doing at MGM. Though this one has some better poses in it than others thanks to Michael Lah's layouts. Also, I've included IDs for the music cues used in this short, though it's mostly a few different ones reused over and over. I'm super nerdy when it comes to those old music cues. I spend way too much time listening to that stuff. "Puppet Pals" mostly uses cues from Jack Shaindlin, my favorite of all the stock music composers, and a couple of Loose/Seely cues. There is one cue that I'm not familiar with, I haven't come across it anywhere, and I have loads of this stuff. If anyone knows please feel free to share. I'm sure there's only a couple of other people out there that give a shit about this sort of thing. I'll move onto some Gumby cues next time.

Sheldon Mayer

After reading Thad's post on Sheldon Mayer, I remembered that I had a bunch of Animal Antics, Raccoon Kids, and Nutsy Squirrel comics with his work in them. So I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and start sharing some of what I have. Here's a funny Dizzy Dog comic.
