What ho. Humble self is Andrew Leal, English BA, semi-professional animation historian, freelance writer, experienced tutor, and balloon animal sculptor (available for weddings, birthday parties, and bar mitzvahs upon request). Recently joined Wikipedia, so far working on t articles related to animation, animators, literature, fictional characters, old-time radio, and other such topics. I also have the proud honor of having contributed to one recent tome and one upcoming one on animation, both with general editor Jerry Beck: Animation Art (Harper Collins, 2004), for which I contributed articles on Disney's WWII shorts and features and the Pink Panther, and the upcoming The Animated Movie Guide (over 50 entries). Also a webcomics fan. Feel free to say hello, discuss, or ask questions on any of these topics.
