Fleischer Studio fans and scholars, you need to check this amazing lot out! You are bidding on an original hand-drawn storyboard for the 1941 Animated Antic cartoon #B-10-4, referred to here as "Zero - the Hunting Hound." The artwork is in graphite and color pencils on 12 field top 3-peghole paper. This is an instant history of the creation of a cartoon by an important studio, and originally came from the estate of animator Thomas Johnson. Max Fleischer and Fleischer Studios were a big foe / competitor to the Walt Disney company at the time. The Fleischer studios are famous for the invention of Popeye, Betty Boop, and many other famous cartoon characters. Excellent condition. 8.5 x 11 inches; unframed. From the Eric Sack Collection.
