Buckeyes Love Blair
It seems that the fine folks in Ohio really enjoy the work of animator Preston Blair, and moreso, they love plagiarizing drawings from his ANIMATION how-to book to suit their own needs. The last time we pointed out a Blair swipe, it was the Ohio Lottery Commission. This time, it's the Edgerton Ohio School District which has decided to appropriate Blair's bulldog as their mascot. Adding insult to injury, they've lost the subtlety of shape and solid construction that made Blair's original drawing so good.
