The Two Looks of Andy Panda

For reasons lost to time, someone decided to redesign Andy Pandy for the 1944 cartoon “The Painter and the Pointer.” Here’s Andy on the title card. I think this is an Alex Lovy design, with the cutsey-poo rounded two-teeth-in-one.



And here’s a shot of Andy from the cartoon itself.



The dog isn’t consistent, either. Sometimes, he looks like a near relative of Pluto. Other times, he reminds me of the Shakespearean dog in the cartoons put out by the Art Davis unit at Warner; not a surprise considering Emery Hawkins worked on both.

Hawkins and Les Kline get an animation credit.
