Grim Cartoonist Profile Article
- Grim Natwick wrote a number of articles for Cartoonist Profiles Magazine. The first of them was written for the fourth issue, November 1969.
This article is pretty much just a bio as written by Grim in a somewhat light style. At the end, he adds some opinions.
I’m posting this short, two page article. And I follow it with the same article as Grim handed it to the magazine. The first two pages were typed (Of course this is pre-computer, so the typing is hunt and peck.) Then he adds the last couple of paragraphs in a hand-written form. This is the most interesting part of the article and the most interesting in the docs posted here. I thought you’d like to see it all, so here it is.

Woooooww! A terrific article! I like what Grim said about competing with the Keystone Cops, and the end comments about animation dying out was poignant in the extreme. I wonder what he meant by saying that the animator was part of a two-man story crew? I guess that means the animator and story artist would figure out gags together.
