The Jetsons Original Animation 1962 Cel Cosmo Spacely
This is an original signed production cel from the hit tv show "The Jetsons". Bob Singer signed the cel at the bottom in black sharpie. George Jetson is married and lives with his family in the Skypad Apartments in Orbit City, where all homes and businesses are raised high above the ground on adjustable columns in the Googie style, reflective of Seattle's Space Needle and the Theme Building of the Los Angeles International Airport. George is married to Jane, the homemaker, and the couple have two children: teenage daughter Judy; and preteen son Elroy. Housekeeping is seen to by a robot maid, Rosie, handling chores not otherwise rendered trivial by the home's numerous push-button Space Age-envisioned conveniences. The family has a dog named Astro, who talks with an initial consonant mutation in which every word begins with an 'R', as if speaking with a growl.Jetson's workweek is typical of his era: three hours a day, three days a week. His boss is Cosmo Spacely, the bombastic owner of the company Spacely Space Sprockets. Spacely has a competitor, H. G. Cogswell, owner of the rival company Cogswell Cogs (sometimes known as Cogswell's Cosmic Cogs). Jetson commutes to work in an aerocar that resembles a flying saucer with a transparent bubble top. Daily life is leisurely, assisted by numerous labor-saving devices, which occasionally break down with humorous results. Despite this, everyone complains of exhausting hard labor and difficulties of living with the remaining inconveniences. Depicted here is a collage of the better sides of Cosmo Spacely, before he starts hollering at George... Original Animation CelTitle: "The Boss" Overall Size of the Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2"Date: June 5, 1962 Condition: Excellent This is an original hand-painted animation cel. Each one-of-a-kind cel 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. The animators notations are located at the top of the cel.
