T. HEE DRAWS EDDIE

This'll have to be a hastily done post. Workers are in the house tearing down a wall and with the din I can't think straight. Fortunately Milt recently gave me a couple of Xeroxes that readers might be interested in, so I don't have to appear empty-handed. 

Okay, here's (above) the first Xerox. It appears to be a caricature of me drawn by renowned Disney caricaturist, T. Hee. Wow, it's terrific! T. Hee really nailed me...but, huh? Wait a minute...how can that be? The inscription says it's George Manuel, who was a story artist in the 30s and 40s. Holy Mackerel! That could only mean one thing...there was another me all those years ago...and he called himself George Manuel!

Sure, it could be a coincidence, but the likeness is so striking that I'm forced to consider another possibility, ie., that I'm a vampire who holds on to life by sucking the blood of others. I don't recall having done anything like that but, who knows?



Milt also gave me a copy (above) of Marlena Dietrich's scathing review of Snow White from 1937.  He got it from a site called "Animation Anecdotes," which I bookmarked as soon as I got home. I don't agree with Dietrich's evaluation of the film, but you have to admit that it's funny.

Milt reminded me that caricaturist Al Hirschfeld also wrote a negative review of that film and I include it below.




Okay, that's it! I've gotta get out of the house!
