(Terrytoons, 1957-59) An original hand-painted multi-layer production cel of Tom Terrific and Mighty Manfred. “Tom Terrific” was created by Gene Deitch as a weekly segment of the Captain Kangaroo show. With a character image size of 3.5” x 6” on untrimmed 10.5” x 12” cels, the piece is in very good condition. Terrytoons was a prolific animation studio known for producing theatrical shorts, including popular series such as Heckle and Jeckle, Gandy Goose, and, most famously, Mighty Mouse. Originally conceived as a parody of Superman, the Mighty Mouse shorts evolved into a spoof of melodramas featuring a cast of archetypal characters, including the damsel in distress and the sinister mustache-twirling villain. In the 1950s, Terrytoons expanded into television, producing series like Deputy Dawg and Tom Terrific.
