'Spaw, you might want to glange at "Bill Peet: an Autobiography" (Houghton Mifflin, 1989). He's a children's author/illustrator who started his career with Disney Animation as an "in-betweener"; that's the one who doesn't draw the really defining animation cels of a cartoon, but the in-between ones that make the movements smooth. After a while he ran from his desk screaming,"No More Damn Ducks!" over and over. (My lbrary puts this book at about a 4th grade reading level (that's about ten years old, for non USA schools). As far as I know, that's the youngest reading level I've ever seen with the word "damn" in it. And no self-proclaimed censors have complained about it yet, as far as I know.)
And just for grins, some of you out there might enjoy "How to Read Donald Duck" by Ariel Dorfman (International General Press, 1991). I don't know if this is a revised edition, or a reprint of the copy I saw back in the 1970's, but it was written before "deconstruction" was invented as a catch-phrase. It's a fine old, classic (and readable) left-wing polemic on the hidden messages in our beloved comic books. I enjoyed it so much that I went out and read the companion book "The Empire's Old Clothes: what the Lone Ranger, Babar, and Other Innocent Heros Do to our Minds." (Pantheon, 1983)
