Huckleberry Hound Production Original Model Cel Signed
This is a signed original production animation cel from the long running tv series "Huckleberry Hound". Bob Singer signature is located at the bottom of the cel in black sharpie. * Bob Singer is an American animation artist, character designer, layout and background artist and storyboard director of animated television programs, most memorably of several Hanna Barbara productions such as The Flintstones, Jonny Quest, Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, Droopy, Tom and Jerry, The Jetsons, The Smurfs, Superfriends, and the Harlem Globe Trotters cartoons. * Huckleberry "Huck" Hound is a blue dog that speaks with a Southern drawl, with a relaxed, sweet, and well-intentioned personality. Most of his short films consisted of Huck trying to perform jobs in different fields, ranging from policeman to dogcatcher, with results that backfired, yet usually coming out on top, either through slow persistence or sheer luck. Huck did not seem to exist in a specific time period as he has also been a Roman gladiator, a Medieval knight, and a rocket scientist. He never appeared in futuristic cartoons, only those set in the present or the past. * Depicted here are the mutliple personalities of Huckleberry Hound. * Original Animated Cel Overall Size of the Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Excellent Condition This is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of "Huckleberry Hound". Each one-of-a-kind set-up represents a slight change in position of the characters. When individually photographed and projected in rapid succession, the images appear to move. * To create production cels, the original animator's drawing is transferred onto an acetate cel (by hand-inking and/or photo copying). The cel is then hand-painted on the reverse side. * The cel is ready to be matted and framed. *
