Eric Larson and John Musker (circa 1983)

Eric Larson and John Musker, by John Musker. By permission of the artist.

Eric Larson, of course, was one of Disney's Nine Old Men ... ... and worked at the studio until he shuffled off the mortal coil. John Musker was an up-and-coming story artist and director at the time this caricature was done. Now, with partner Ron Clements, he's one of the most successful animated feature directors of all time. This caricature was drawn on a memo pad twenty-plus years ago. A few weeks back I came across it in a musty file, and I put it up for your enjoyment and edification. A moment in time.
