  Available on Layaway a Studio Gag (c. 1940s)
Gag drawing of ---

From the estate of Norman Wright
This is a wonderful example of drawings animators made at work while not necessarily working on a specific project. These gag drawings, are just that: gags jotted down that could easily show up in a later production with a completely different character.
The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") and the size of the image is 8" h x 4" w.
US$ 600 (unframed).

some men animation Gag Drawing
  Available on Layaway a Studio Gag (c. 1940s)
Gag drawing of some men

From the estate of Norman Wright
Most likely drawn during the war years, this is a fantastically funny drawing with the text stating: "Watch him make a take when he discovers he's lost his wings." Our fearless pilot seems to have no idea he is flying a plane without wings.
This item exhibits some light wear consistent with age and regular handling. There is evidence of a fold of 6" along the lower right hand edge.
The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") and the size of the image is 4.5" h x 4" w.
US$ 1200 (unframed).
Add this piece to your collection for only US$240 a month.

Disney Studios (c. 1940s)
Hitler animation Gag Drawing
  Available on Layaway Disney Studios (c. 1940s)
Gag drawing of Hitler

From the estate of Norman Wright
This piece is attributed to a Disney War Time short. This piece is not for the faint of heart, as the character on the right is urinating and all is revealed. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this drawing is what the animator crossed in the close-up box. This is a great piece of history, especially as an animator's greatest weapon against the atrocity and darkness of war is that of satire.
The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") and the size of the image is 4.5" h x 9" w.
US$ 800 (unframed).
