I love Garge&#8217;s bug characters, note how similar the &#8220;boll weevil&#8221; in 8-1 to 8-4 is in appearance to archy in the illustrations Garge did for Don Marquis books. One of the happiest assignments I had in my early years in the animation game was animating a few scenes in the &#8216;Archy declares war&#8217; sequence in John Wilson&#8217;s &#8220;Archy and Mehitabel&#8221;. I did these under the great Frank Andrina&#8217;s tutelage, as I was his assistant on the picture. Sam Cornell did the layouts in a combination Garge\/Sam cartoon style. I haven&#8217;t posted much lately, Cathy and I just got back from Santa Catalina island, where we participated in a plein air &#8220;paint out&#8221; last week. Avalon was not damaged from the recent brush fires. Catalina is an ENORMOUS island, so a 4000 acre blaze would only burn a small part of the brush there. I was lucky enough to sell a small watercolor of the Casino and harbor there to a kid from Oceanside. Paid for a meal there anyway. I will do a photo post of the trip later on this week. Have a GREAT Memorial Day and remember our poor, overextended military at this sad time in history!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the K.K.s from 7-29 to 8-4-38.
