The legend continues… :-)

It’s funny seeing someone confronted about it though, I have heard several outright fibs that “it just came straight outta my head!” Via a certain book, of course…

THATS CRAZY!!!

I LOVE the little Donkey! Its my favorite PB.

In fact I swiped it myself… it’s the only tattoo I have on my body and it’s on my … ass!

Not surprising to see people still swiping from Preston Blair’s book. It must’ve been the only how-to-animate available for 20+ years until the medium started attracting new blood in the 1980’s & could be found in just about every art supply store in the US. The weirdest swipe from the book I’ve ever seen was on a Zippo lighter: the shy, ‘adorable’ pig hiding a huge butcher knife behind his back!

Joe-

That sounds like Frank Kozik’s Piggums character on that Zippo…

Interesting to say the least. Having been involved with the fire service for the past 6.5 years has me digging that pet rescue sticker…

I rather like the idea of images being ’swiped’ so often they merge into the collective consciousness. Tough luck for the artist, but since Preston Blair’s dead (I think,) he probably doesn’t mind so much.

There’s one I’ve seen on a bar/restaurant sign by my house. Spotted it while taking the train.
