Description

Andy Panda Model Sheet Original Art (Walter Lantz, c. 1940s). The adorable Andy Panda makes a special appearance in this remarkably rare original model sheet showing useful tips on how to draw the character. Created by Alex Lovy and Walter Lantz, Andy Panda became an emblematic character for the studio, succeeding Oswald Rabbit and preceding the now iconic Woody Woodpecker. Andy made his first appearance in the 1939 short Life Begins for Andy Panda and starred in 25 shorts until 1949 with Scrappy Birthday, although making a cameo in the 1951 cartoon The Woody Woodpecker Polka. This wonderful model sheet shows various images of the character, his basic construction, and even a size comparison with an early version of Papa Panda, all done in graphite on 12.5" x 10.5" studio paper showing "Walter Lantz Co." in the bottom right corner. This lot shows minor graphite smudging and light age-related toning, as well as two pegholes in the top area. With minor handling and edge wear from production, the sheet is in Very Good condition.
