While cleaning my living space, I uncovered another stack of Famous Studios model sheets from Will Friedwald that I didn’t scan the first time around. IDs and notes follow each model.
The Wee Men (1947)
Little Red School Mouse (1949)
The Fly’s Last Flight (1949).
Drawn by Bill Tytla, who is not the credited director.
Boo-Hoo Baby (1951)
By Leaps and Hounds (1951)
Clown on the Farm (1952). Drawn by Dave Tendlar. An earlier, slightly different version of this model sheet from 1949 appears in Dark House’s Harvey Comics Classics Library Volume 4: Baby Huey, reflecting the earlier bucktoothed version of the Fox.
Double Cross-Country Race (1951)
Bluto, possibly for Child Sockology (1953), the only Famous cartoon with both him and Swee’ Pea.
Bride and Gloom (1954)
Popeye’s *sons*?! So they admit that “nephew” thing was a cover-up.
Well, Bride and Gloom is a remake of Wimmin is a Myskery, in which the little jerks are Popeye and Olive’s sons.
Yeah, I Hate both those episodes, Popeye’s Nephews are just a ripoff of Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Animation historians rag on Tedd Pierce for being Warners’ weakest story man, but if you’re going to go after him for anything, it should be for creating those ^)$)%$#!@ kids with Willard Bowsky.
