"Disney's iconic animator" Not really - he was Warner Brother's animator in direct competition with Disney!

Always preferred the smart-alek WB stuff over the childish Disney stuff.

Same here. A really good insight into Warner Brothers' "Termite Terrace" was Chuck Jones' book "Chuck Amuck"

He was kind of an independent animator. He went to work for Disney in 1937 and was contributing to Donald Duck and Snow White. His version of Bugs Bunny debuted in 1940 for Warner Brothers. Other characters he illustrated over his six-decade career included Tom & Jerry, Daffy Duck, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Popeye. Most of these were owned by different studios.

He also worked as a storyboard artist on the TV show Linus! The Lion Hearted and then as a graphic designer on the series Baggy Pants & the Nitwits.

He was very versatile and talented.
