Boy, they weren't kidding.
I like this other drawing style Tyer used in his early comics.
It'd sure be interesting to know how he came up with it.
Looks sort of like a combination of Milt Gross and Dr. Seuss.
The first couple Terrytoons he animated on look sort of like this. There's a Mighty Mouse story that takes place at a circus that has unbelievably cool detailed animation by Jim Tyer. -about 1947.
