VIRGIL ROSS - $760.00
Bugs Bunny filling Gossamer's nails.
colored pencil | 10.5x12.5
Signed by artist
Virgil Ross began his animation career in 1920 with Winkler Studios in the late 1920s, then went on to Ub Iwerks, where he rose from the rank of in-betweener to animator and worked with Tex Avery. In 1935, Ross and Avery left Ub Iwerks and joined Warner Bros. Ross and Avery created
the first Bugs Bunny animated short, “A Wild Hare” in 1940, which brought Bugs his first Oscar nomination. After stints with other Warner Bros. directors such as Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett, Ross, in 1942, began a long career with Friz Freleng’s unit, where he animated over 230 cartoons, many of which were nominated for Oscars. In fact, four Ross-animated cartoons won Oscars: “Tweety Pie” (1947), “Speedy Gonzales” (1955), “Birds Anonymous” (1957), and “Knighty Knight Bugs” (1958). “Knighty Knight Bugs” was Bugs Bunny’s only Oscar-winning performance. Known for bringing personality into the characters he animated, Ross’ style is said to be one of the finest examples of personality animation in the world. Ross, who died in 1996, had said his favorite animation effort was “Rhapsody Rabbit,” in which he played some of the cartoon’s classical music and honky-tonk tunes.

HAROLD GRAY - $215.00
Three panels of Annie and Larriat Lasso.
pen and ink | 7.5x22.5
This is a "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip published on Jan 1st, 1971.
Harold Gray had been an assistant on The Gumps when he got the idea for a strip about an orphan. Originally called Little Orphan Otto, Gray was talked into changing the gender by an astute editor. While some feel that Gray's style was rather limited, that didn't matter. Gray was an incredible writer whose expert skill could pull in an audience. The strip was an amazing success. Annie appeared on radio in 1930 and that lasted until 1943. Comic books beckoned and strip repeats ran for over ten years. The character (and Gray's concept) had such incredible legs that she became a Broadway Musical in the seventies. Annie had many imitators, but none ever came close to what Gray was able to build in the way of narrative and style.
Gray passed away in 1968. The Syndicate decided to continue the strip using ghost artists. Tex Blaisdale was among them. In 1974 the Syndicate stopped making new strips and just re-ran Gray's older work until Annie's Broadway success brought attention to the strip. The Syndicate than brought
in Leonard Starr and they gave the character a make-over. They also renamed it 'Annie'. In 2000 Starr retired and the Syndicate brought in two new artists who are doing a great job of keeping Annie alive as the strip is still published today.
