The Man who created Goofy and then lead a Strike for workers rights in Disney
I respect him, especially since he dealt with Walt's asshole maneuver of brawling with him over the strike over wanting to unionize,

(He invaded my tablet and demanded I do something nice for our friend, how could I deny him? He was such a good sport, sitting so still for me to draw)

Togay I’m treatin you fellas to my favourite thing in history ever: The story of how Walt Disney Animators Guillotined an Effigy of Walt Disney and his Lawyer with Solidarity from Warner Brothers’ Carpentry Department. Bonus video in my Disney Strike of ‘41 series.
something based on a king of the hill's scene that lives rent free on my head. i always wondered what happened to the other patients in harvey's new eyes
