Holy Crap! It's been a long time away from here but the new hard drive is in and the scanner is warmed-up.
Over at John K.'s blog there was a comment about Tex Avery's drawings. John K. responded that Avery's '50s Lantz cartoons are the closest to displaying Avery's own drawing style. This storyboard excerpt of Chilly Willy in the Legend of Rockabye Point stolen from John Canemaker's Tex Avery bears John K.'s comment out.
I'd love to see more of Avery's own drawings.

Cool I really like that they are so "symplictic" but easy to read.
I've just seen a storyboard of a new animation serie and each drawing looks complicated with very hard perspectives and almost pins evrything down.
This proves that it doesn't needs to be like that!
Tex wasn't a great draftsman but he put alot of personality and life in his drawings.

Yeah, today's storyboard artist are far too obbessed with "clean drawings". Story boards are all about spontaneity, you can't get that with trying to do finished drawings all the time.
You can you clearly see what's happening in each drawing, yet those drawings are also fun to look at. In fact, I've seen this cartoon before. It reminds me of "Rockabye Bear."
