HANNA-BARBERA STUDIO NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 1967




Here's the October 1967 edition of THE HANNA-BARBERA EXPOSURE SHEET, the studio's newsletter. I've got a few more of these to post, so keep checking back. It's neat to see photos of TED CASSIDY and the HUCK FINN cast reading the very first edition of THE EXPOSURE SHEET on page one. I posted that edition back on June 13, 2008. It's interesting to see that HANNA-BARBERA background painter, ART LOZZI, designed interiors for three Hilton Hotels in Europe...and the animated feature, A MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE (the film was actually titled THE MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE), won two awards!

LOONEY TUNES & BUGS BUNNY

Here's a great LOONEY TUNES / MERRIE MELODIES poster from 1951. Wouldn't this have looked cool as a cover to one of the LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION DVD sets?
Here's the original painted art for a 1960s BUGS BUNNY puzzle from Western Printing. Click on each image for a larger view! E-mail me at powsley@flash.net. Thanks! -- Patrick Owsley

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY, ALEX TOTH!



Happy birthday to the late legendary comic artist and animation character designer ALEX TOTH! In honor of TOTH's 80th birthday, I'm posting two of his model sheets for the 1967 HANNA-BARBERA production, SHAZZAN. As you know, TOTH designed just about all of the HANNA-BARBERA super-hero shows during the 1960s and 1970s, including SPACE GHOST, MIGHTOR, YOUNG SAMSON, MOBY DICK, SUPERFRIENDS, BLUE FALCON and more. I'm also posting the original art to a 1967 SHAZZAN puzzle from Western Printing. TOTH didn't do the puzzle art, but it is based on his sensational character designs!

No Ball Games


Snooker Cartoon
...
Decided to make a colour cartoon for a change. It's been a while. Think this looks good, and it really helps to have the snooker table in colour. It took longer to colour this cartoon than it did to draw it.
