     I’m with david, Steve. These are perfectly awesome, and really funny and creative, too, with the Daffy Dragon saying “you always spoil things by being technical!”

   What is so evident here is that Tyer was, contrary to widespread supposition, a superb artist. The details in many of his caricatures clearly reveal what a gift he had. Tyer’s animated work is sometimes viewed as sloppy. I have long contended that in those instances where it looks sloppy, it was because it was deliberately so. Tyer knew exactly what he was doing. The apparent slovenliness was what gave the movement in his cartoons its unique and extraordinary elasticity — and it was what made them FUNNY. There has never been an animator like this man; the closest was Bob Clampett in his heyday at Warner Bros., especially when he was animating Daffy Duck. Clampett and Tyer were geniuses of a singular kind.

   Man Steve these are wonderful. Thanks for posting. Tyer is STILL one of a kind, for better and worse…
