Somehow I found xeroxed layout drawings from one of my most favorite Brian Mitchell scenes of the Cow and Might Mouse. You can see how the cropping, clean up and color can make all the difference. The non distracting color card allows zero conflict for the characters interaction.
This bottom was also drawn by Brain Mitchell, clarity and funny drawings, eye contact and all the other elements of are here...
Note: Three quarters rear on the mouse body with side view head. This cheat is a great way of make the character expression read.
I remember how extreme some of these cartoons would go on Mighty Mouse. I am sure they had zero time to think to get these layouts completed in time to ship.
