A New Broom Sweeps Clean, #1 of 4

Courtesy of the Megacollector, a change of pace from all-Disney-all-the-time. Storyboards for an unproduced late-1950s Terrytoons project, "A New Broom Sweeps Clean", from master cartoon artist Jim Tyer (1904-1976).

Cartoon Brew and the BBC website have more on Tyer.

Mega informs us that these large story panels were part of an elaborate pitch that, sadly, never became a special or series. Mr. Tyer, noted for his squash, stretch and not-quite-on-model animation, came to Terrytoons in 1946.

Working for a variety of tv animation houses in the 1960s, Mr. Tyer finished his career working on Ralph Bakshi's Fritz the Cat, passing away in 1976. (More to come ...)
