Familiar Faces

Ever notice how much animators love to crack each other up by sneaking caricatures of colleagues into their cartoons? Check out some of the G.I.’s in today’s ReFrederator installment, “Rookie Revue.” I think that’s Tex Avery on the left — not sure who the other Warners’ guys are. Any guesses out there?

‘The Warner Brothers Cartoons’ book by Friedwald and Beck only mentions a caricature of Avery. When I saw Bob Clampett do a lecture/film show decades ago, he pointed out Russian Rhapsody as a cartoon full of caricatures of the animators, playing The Gremlins From the Kremlin.
