In fact, I liked almost all of Max Fleischer's work including, later, the SUPERMAN ones.<br /><br />In 1960, upon graduation from The High School of Art and Design (aka The School of Industrial Art) in Manhattan, I went to work for Paramount Pictures which had a small animation studio in midtown. They were then turning out the later POPEYE stuff for the awful television cartoon version. <br /><br />All the animators were men and most of the 'painters' - we filled in the inked cells - were women. I lasted for six months until boredom overtook me. (I know we had an official name for what we did, but damn if I can remember...I think were called 'opaquers'. Anyway, I was one, for a short while. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-38289776277395367502011-06-07T11:59:03.897-07:002011-06-07T11:59:03.897-07:00I recall the character being named Bluto, and late...I recall the character being named Bluto, and later Brutus, Rick.

The cartoons always ended up, like this one, to be simply a fight between the two, almost always over Olive Oyl. Still, I watched a lot of them as a kid, enough to have had my fill, I guess.
