Walt Disney Studios, 1931. Preliminary story sketches for the 1931 Mickey Mouse cartoon, Fishin' Around. 6 pp (two on red-lined animation paper and three on hole-punched paper). Each 9.5 x 12 inches. Minor wear and soiling and evenly aged, some corner creases. Many of the gags developed in these sketches did not make it into the finished cartoon. For example, a lengthy sequence involves the slapstick possibilities resulting from Mickey and Pluto's pursuing a particularly uncooperative worm. The studio may have held on to these drawings for use in a subsequent Mickey Mouse cartoon. Norman "Norm" Ferguson (1902-1907), Johnny Cannon (1907-1946), and Leslie James "Les" Clark (1907-1974) were the animators of the short. Clark helped develop Mickey Mouse from the early days of Steamboat Willie (1928), and Ferguson created the character of Pluto. One or all of them may have contributed to these sketches. 9.5 x 12 in
