Preston Blair Swipe

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

  1. Knowing how much Blair swiped for that book, I wouldn't be surprised if that was originally an Eisenberg pose!

  2. Didn't Blair take some of those poses for his book from the character layout poses for the MGM cartoons he worked on? I think those poses where also used in the model sheets. If so, then Blair used a lot of drawings by Claude Smith. (For example, the fat kid diving into a pool in Blair's animation book is from the model sheet of the pilgrim from "Jerky Turkey".)
