Jerky Turkey Original Animation Drawing 1945 Dinner
Offered here is an original production drawing from the Jerky Turkey cartoon (1945). The Pilgrims land at Plymouth Rock and found a colony. A very large number of Pilgrims (some of them caricatures of Avery's animation crew) can be seen standing in line... for their cigarette rations. A Pilgrim goes hunting for a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey outsmarts the pilgrim many times and eventually the two make up and decide to eat at "Joe's restaurant" which is being advertised by a bear, at the end the bear has eaten the two and reveals that he is Joe and the two complain inside the bear's stomach. Many of the gags revolve around life on the home front in the United States during WWII, rationing and the black market. The turkey is a caricature of the comedian Jimmy Durante. * * Anyone interested in some smoked and slowly-cooked turkey?? * Original "rough" animation drawing, in black and red with the notations in black. * Overall size is a 12-field drawing that is 10 1/2" × 12 1/2" Very Good condition Traditional animation is a multi-step process which includes various types of art techniques. Drawings are a key part of the process, in which the animator creates the design and movement of the characters. Drawings are then transferred onto acetate cels (by hand-inking and/or photo copying) to create a production cel, which is then hand painted on the back side, using paint colors chosen and approved by the creator of the series. * * The drawing is ready to be matted and framed. The animators notations are located at the top and bottom of the drawing. There is some minor tears located at the bottom of the drawing and what appears to be paint residue at the top. *
