The 1995 Screen Cartoonists Datebook, by Nik Ranieri
(above) ...
This cartoon, referencing everyone's favorite stone age family, shows Jeffrey Katzenberg (with a large, authoritative weapon and his favorite diet drink) supervising story artists Burny Mattinson, Ed Gombert, Tom Sito and..I'm gonna say Susanna Grant (but I'm hazy here).
They're chiseling away on a storyboard and Jeffrey is there to tell them how to make it better. In the nineties he did it at Disney; today he does it at DreamWorks.
... and by Tom Sito:
The cartoon celebrates...
November 1, 1512: Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel is unveiled. After taking four-and-a-half years to paint it (two years past his deadline), Michelangelo is paid 3,000 ducats, minus the rent for his studio, materials and pay for his apprentices. Another artist makes a lousy deal for himself. "I live in Hell and paint its pictures" -- Michelangelo
...Tom puts a nice contemporary spin on the event, turning the churchmen into modern-day producers, changing (and mucking up) the long-suffering artist's work.
