NOTE ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Western Publishing Company (Whitman) had a virtual lock on any “authorized” cartoon, comic, movie or TV character published in coloring books, activity books or books in general, that extended from the 1940s through the 1960s. Any purchaser of such books was extremely fortunate because the artists used for these books were top-flight animators, background artists or comic illustrators par supreme. Most had tie-ins to the characters they were drawing i. e., Walter Lantz animators were used on Woody Woodpecker, Warner Bros. animators on Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig, etc.
