Wolfie Original Production Drawing Breaking Out 1946
Offered here is an original production drawing of Wolfie from the "Northwest Hounded Police cartoon (1946). The wolf has escaped from "Alka-Fizz Prison" (a pun on Alcatraz Prison). When he escapes to Canada, the mounted police chief advises the mounties to capture him. When he asks any volunteers to come up, all of them stand back, except for Sgt. McPoodle (Droopy). The wolf is making his best attempts to escape. Much to his shock, McPoodle appears wherever he tries to hide. Eventually, the wolf is chased back into his own jail cell. After being re-captured, he ask himself (thus breaking the fourth wall) if there could have been more than one of the dogs chasing him. Outside his cell, hundreds of Droopy look-alike dogs ask him, "What do you think, brother?" * * It appears that Wolfie is trying to break out of jail again... * Original "rough" animation drawing, in non-photo blue, 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 slight tears located at the bottom of the drawing. *
