-
Marc Antony and Pussyfoot remain one of the
most adored pairings in Warner Bros. classic animation
history.
-
First introduced by Chuck Jones on February
2, 1952 in “Feed the Kitty.” The duo of brute strength and
cute innocence usually entailed Pussyfoot climbing aboard
the back of Marc Antony to scratch and tug at him until she
made herself feel warm and safe and therein fell asleep.
Despite the trouble Pussyfoot gets into, the strangely
devoted Marc Antony is always present to take the blame.
-
Both Marc Antony and Pussyfoot were
successful secondary characters before their staring roles.
Previously they appeared with Claude Cat and Hubie and
Bertie, but were never named.
-
While Marc Antony’s name has always been
consistent, Pussyfoot has also been known as Kitty and at
times Cleo.
-
Noted animation director Darrell Van Citters
rendered the original drawing for this edition. The
background was adapted from original model sheets and
reproduced utilizing the fine art Giclee process.
-
A model sheet shows each character from
various angles and with different expressions. Since a
number of animators work on a single cartoon, the model
sheet ensures that a consistent look is maintained
throughout the production.
-
The Marc Antony and Pussyfoot is sold in an
edition of 100.
