WALTER LANTZ
Creator of Woody Woodpecker has drawn his character on the front of a blank
envelope.
Original art signed: "Walter Lantz 1991", 6½x3½ envelope, with 1¼x2¼
ink drawing of Woody (one surface). Walter Lantz (1900-1994), who was
working in film animation from age 16, took over Universal Film's animation
department in 1926. In 1935, the organization separated from Universal and
became Walter Lantz Studios. Lantz was already producing popular movie cartoons,
including Oswald Rabbit and Andy Pandy, when a noisy woodpecker at his wooded
honeymoon cottage inspired him to produce his most popular character. Lantz
produced Woody Woodpecker shorts - never a feature film - until 1975. Woody
lives on, of course, under licensing agreements. The woodpecker's unforgettable
laugh, originated by Mel Blanc, was furnished by Lantz's wife Grace Stafford
(who had auditioned anonymously) after 1950. In 1979, Lantz received a
special Academy Award for "bringing joy and laughter to every part of the
world." Fine condition.
