The design in this is not too thrilling, but the animation is great!
Hey, wanna see Scribner where he really belongs? With Clampett?

ROD SCRIBNER - THE MAN WHO DIDN'T NEED INBETWEENS

I think you don't talk enough about animation itself on your blog. It's great when you do, though. I always point people to your site, but they're not always familiar with some technical aspects (last time a friend asked me what you meant by 'uneven inbetweens').
I remember seeing that letters-for-mouths trick on Beany and Cecil (except it was F-O-O-D instead of F-O-R-D). Which came first? Was Clampett doing a take-off on the Ford commercial?
In Chile in this moment rain.
In Chile also there's animation.
But is only the beginning
'That 'letters for mouths' bit was around in the fifties, and probably much earlier. Tom Terrific often popped the letters "TV" visually onto his lips as he spoke them, when referring to television. That kind of thing keeps Gene Deitch, sitting in Prague, amused to this day.
Nice animation, but I like the design of this bird better than the previous ttwo UPA Scribner clips you postded. I like the eyes!

Chris Garrison -
Yes, the "It's a F-O-R-D !" ad campaign for Ford automobiles (directed by Hubley) came first and the Beany & Cecil show was spoofing that well-known ad.
It's A F-O-R-D ad on YouTube
Scribner is a pretty talented man- both of the examples show just how versatile he is (and how skilled). Those Porky frames kill me!!! Every frame makes me chuckle! Look what Clampett can get out of his animators! Simply remarkable.
Eddie is also an exemplary man who should be praised (thus photo)!
Explain to me how Scribner didn't need inbetweens. I have the Looney Tunes DVDs with some his shorts. I try to copy his poses on paper but i still feel the urge to tween the poses.
LOL! Thanks for the compliment and double thanks for helping me with the pictures!
