That’s a great card.
Mrs. Johnston’s response is how I want to react whenever anybody at the studio presents their card ideas.
You suppose there was something lecherous about those ears?
It’s always interesting to see an animators style outside of a cartoon.
Everyone knows Ollie had a sensitive and intelligent approach to character animation.
Look closely at his cards (up to 1994): His self-portraits get a bit older each year, while Marie looks frozen at 35 yrs. Apparently, Ollie had a sensitive and intelligent approach to marriage as well!
