"The Sunshine Goys"


A much treasured possession. Art school pal Will Finn did this frighteningly prophetic drawing of he and I (lower right - he, upper left - I)... not long after he arrived at Disney's Studios. This is of us sometime in our future, as a couple of down-on-our-luck cartoonists cluttering the gutter in Market Square. Note that I am polishing off yet another fifth of Coca-Cola and he is sleeping off a bummed bottle of Higgins Ink.

Will Finn is quite a talent. Almost as good as you!

What Disney features has he worked on again?
