lpsunburst Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I also thought I would share this drawing that Chuck Jones did for me back in '93. The story on this drawing is that I have always been a huge fan of the Warner Brothers cartoons and I was at the time trying to collect every one of them on video tape (yes, I am old). In 1993 I was working in a well known restaurant in Beverly Hills and we always had lots of celebrities who came for dinner, Chuck and his wife came in for his birthday and of course we took great care of them so he asked if I wanted a drawing of a character, after giving it a little thought I requested Sniffles since that was his first cartoon work back in 1938. this led to us having a great conversation about the early days in Termite Terrace and the early animation process. He was having the hardest time doing Sniffles because he said every time he started it was coming out like Pepe Le Pew, he figured he had not sketched Sniffles in decades but he finally managed and here it is. You can still see some of the Pepe in the face but I still love it. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Beverly Larson) book, a number 15. It looks about as nice IIRC; glossier but a little nick lower left. But it would grade lower than the other three due to a detached centerfold and Beverly's exhuberance in filling in the Christmas games and puzzles in the 15. She wasn't sloppy, just thorough!

They enjoyed their books. Bless Beverly's heart where ever she may be. Amen to that! I've been trying to figure out a little more about Beverly as her books were very well-kept other than the filling out of the puzzles/games. She also had the habit of writing her initials in the same spot on each book, as well as her name (upper inside FC) and address (bottom inside FC). The dealer I got these from could recall when/how he got them, and I could find no other books in his boxes with the initials. I found her obituary; she passed in 2015. I find it hard to believe someone who kept four books so nicely and crisply only ever had four comics, but maybe that's the case, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye out for more on eBay. Maybe she had/has a husband or children who know if she had a big collection when she was a child that she told them about Probably not a call /social media reach out someone is likely to be warmed up to though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for Bugs but the close-up is not something you often get on the Looney Tunes covers. And, of course, it's always great to see one of Marty's original owner books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
