<DIV>Dick Ruhl: " Was a native of Sapulpa, Oaklahoma, where in the third grade
of school, his teachers and parents took notice of his natural talent in
cartooning. Upon graduation from high school at the early age of 15, he attended
the Choulinard School of Art in Los Angeles. Disney artists, teaching in the
school, selected him as a student animator. His skill in drawing Donald Duck
brought him fame in the 30's & 40's at the studio as being the fastest duck
animator on the lot. He could draw a duck in less than a minute. However,as with
all Disney animators, he possessed the skill to draw any of the characters. He
painted with the unique technique of
pastels." Before his death he sold or
gave away some prints of his previous work. You can see images of originals in
my gallery at comicartfans.com. Click on letter B, click BOOKS, DENNIS, click
