“I hired Bob at Terrytoons. He was my assistant animator, and then became an animator himself. He had just come from Boston with his family and was a brilliant draftsman as well as a great jazz guitarist. We had lots of fun nights in Greenwich Village together and then later hanging in LA. Bob worked on Fritz the Cat , Heavy Traffic , Coonskin , and on Wizards . I am terribly saddened by his passing and will miss him dearly.” WellsTogetherNightFunMissingCatJazzHeavyBrilliantPassingPassingsVillageBobTrafficBostonWizardsAssistantsGuitaristAnimatorSaddenedGreenwichGreenwich VillageDraftsmanFun Night Author:Ralph Bakshi
