- Lot Description
Growing up in the 50s and 60s, everyone knew what Saturday mornings meant – no school and plenty off cartoons on TV. From the studios of Walt Disney, Mickey (created by Ub Iwerks) and all of his friends sprang to life. Paul Terry, of Terrytoon fame, brought us Mighty Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle, and Max Fleisher fashioned Popeye from Elzie Crisler Segar’s comic strip character and Betty Boop from Baby Esther Jones, a Roaring 20’s black singer who performed at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem. Everyone loved Jay Ward’s best friends, Rocky and Bullwinkle, William Hannah and Joseph Barbera, of Hannah-Barbera fame, introduced us to Bedrock, home of the Flintstones, and The Pink Panther was formed from the mind of Fritz Freleng, but no one produced the volumes of cartoons that Warner Bros, through their animation studios Looney Toons and Merrie Melodies, produced. And no one was more important to animation than Charles Martin Jones, more commonly called Chuck. In a career spanning almost 70 years, Chuck Jones (1912 – 2002) was the most successful director of all time, working on more than 300 films exhibiting his brilliance. Three of eight nominations for Academy Awards rewarded him with Oscars. From 1933 until 1963, he collaborated with Fritz Freleng and Tex Avery at Warner Brothers’ Looney Toons and Merrie Melodies to help create Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck. And he singularly created dozens of characters, most notably Wile E. Coyote, The Roadrunner,.Pepe Le Pew, Michigan J. Frog, and Marvin Martian. In 1966, he directed the TV special, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. This hand painted limited edition cel, features a card game in the Last Chance Saloon, a popular name of a bar type from the 19th century to advise potential customers alcohol was not prohibited, where Bugs Bunny, wearing an innocent face, holds five aces behind his bank and almost all the chips on the table. His girlfriend, Lola Bunny, stands on her tiptoes to get a better view of Bugs’ stack of chips, while Elmer Fudd, Marvin Martian, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck glare at him. In the corner, Pepe Le Pew literally bangs the keys off the piano. Through the window, Wile E. Coyote can be seen, hopelessly chasing The Roadrunner, who shouts the only sound he ever emits, “Beep Beep!!” That’s All Folks!! 13.5 x 16.5 inches unframed, 20 x 23 inches framed.
