“The fascinating thing about the studio was that there was no story department. They would put a little notice up on the bulletin board saying: 'The next Oswald will take place at the North Pole. Anybody having any gags, please turn them in before such a date.'

The group would go into Walt's office and talk about whatever the subject of the cartoon was. Walt would put it into some kind of form and that was the story--no scripts, no storyboards.” IfsWayKindLittlesTwoStoriesFormTurnsThreeNextGroupsSubjectsPleaseOfficeMeetingsScriptsStudiosBoardsDepartmentFascinatingCartoonWaltGagsNorth PoleBulletin Board Author:Walter Lantz
