Clint Clobber's hectic day


DeWitt Clinton Clobber was a creation of animation director Gene Deitch for Terrytoons. Here's a 1957 model sheet Deitch did of the character. Deitch, who relocated to Prague, Czechoslovakia in the late '50s, is considered a legend among animators.

"Clint Clobber's Day," drawn by Jim Tyer, is from Mighty Mouse Fun Club Magazine #5, 1958. It's funny, almost like a storyboard for an animated cartoon.

Fun stuff Pappy... never heard of this one. Isn't there a Terr'ble Thompson collection coming out soon? Or maybe it's already out, I remember seeing something about it in Previews many moons ago.

The artwork on this Clint clobber comic was drawn by animator Jim Tyer, a cartooning genius who drew many Terrytoon comics, Felix the Cat comic books and dozens of one-shot strips in mags like COO-COO and HA-HA COMICS.
