I wanted to be an artist, but came to see I was meant to be a cartoonist. They say I'm a "Disney Legend," but I simply see myself as an old survivor. I've had the opportunity to work with some of the most incredible people in the animation business in a career lasting nearly fifty years.

I like to make people smile. However, if I can make them laugh - - that's even better.

Scott and Charlie gave me the nickname, "Mr. Fun," and darn if it doesn't fit.

If you're into Disney history and animation, I write a monthly column for Jim Hill Media. Check it out if you like.
