<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been posting on the Disney History blog
(disneybooks.blogspot.com) images of a mysterious Chicken Little project on
which Ken Anderson seems to have worked in the '40s or '50s.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where things get interesting and relevant to the
Disney Comics Mailing List is that I received the following email from Joakim
Gunnarsson:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"There was an illustrated <EM>Chicken Little</EM>
storybook probably done in the mid 70's (?) illustrated by Tony Strobl.
(Released in Scandinavia as a part of "Kalle Ankas bokklubb".) It featured
Donald, Goofy and several other regulars. If my memory serves me right the
design on the drawing you have reminds me of Strobl's artwork in that book. But
it was a looong time ago I last saw that book. Could it be that the project that
Ken worked on got shelved and the script etc. ended up in the department wich
handled the story books and they used it as a basis for one of their
books?"<BR><BR>And I answer: Yes, that's clearly possible. It would be a similar
situation to <EM>The Gremlins</EM> project.<BR><BR>Would anyone have access to
the book that Joakim mentions above?</FONT></DIV>
