COMIC BOOK STORY: Mighty Mouse in Storyland (MM 5)
🕑 Added 2020-09-16 20:30:03 +0000 UTCHere is a story featured in the first Terrytoons comic book magazine, issued by St. John, in the spring of 1948. When the Terrytoons characters appeared in St. John's line of comics, the stories were drawn by animators who worked in Paul Terry's studio, as well as their inkers who would outline the pencil art.
This story is credited to Conrad "Connie" Rasinski, one of the three main principal directors at the studio, who would often animate on his own films, and on occasion, other director's films. Rasinski's style contributed highly to the house style of Paul Terry's cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s, which he inherited from Bill Tytla.
Rasinski was mentored under Tytla in the 1930s before he became a director, but Tytla arrived back to the studio after he quit Disney in 1943, and the signature Terrytoons look (tiny pupils, eyelashes and eye bags) began to take hold.
