A Wonderful Contribution From Lynette Jones

These drawings were previously posted on Facebook, so with Lynette's approval, we are now posting them here as well.  Now, these were drawn during a time at Hanna's when I (Arthur)

wasn't there.  So, gimme a hand with further information about these drawings.

That includes you Lynette!  Anyone can  just write in on the "comments" section, then I'll edit them back into the post. 

In the meantime, I'll put in the info I have so far.

Here goes the first batch:

Dunno about this one, but it looks like a Don drawing.

Help me out here.

Well, I know this is about Sadie and some African American Sub Mariner but as to the the argument with Lynetee in the picture.?????

Again, a Don drawing perhaps?

O.k., Lynette, Don and Renee out to lunch? By Don of course.

 A classic Lynettee pose, but I can't place who drew this, cool drawing though.

Chris and Lynette, I think Mackinnon drew this.

This one's by Simon fer" sur"!

Lynette by Janine Dawson no doubt.

Rodney Brunsdon, but I don't know who drew this killer drawing.

Silliness from 1985

For a few months at the start of 1985, Don and I (james) sat next to each-other in a room just outside the layout department, at Hanna Barbera. This was just before Don got his own space a few doors down Atchison street, behind Peter Luschwitz' place. Anyway, we would sometimes leave silly nonsensical drawings on each-other's desks when the other wasn't there. Here is a typical back and forward of absurdism from that time:

Nonsense from Don


Silliness from James.

More From Don....

Jamie's post gave me names to some caricatures that I had forgotten the names of. Here are Peter Sheehan , Nancy Lockwood and another model sheet of one of the crazy hair cuts of Lynette McLean. Also one of my previous drawings is Marshall Hughes not Don Tonkin. I have got some more drawings that I will send later of people who's names I have forgotten. I hope the drawings are good enough that someone one can put a name to them.

Starting to post some from Simon's batch.

More Don Drawings.

With the aid of James Baker, Facebook, all our good pals and various other nefarious methods, we have accumulated a rather healthy stock of old drawings for the posting. That, added to my "Yet To Be Fully Purged" collection, will no doubt keep us busy for a while.

So, here we go, Starting with Don's drawings.


John McClenahan
Don Tonkin
Chris, Don and Simon
Don and Peter Luschwitz
Mike King-Prime

I could be very incorrect with the spelling of some names, so please help me on this one.

Alan was one of the guys who worked in the accounts department at Hanna Barbera, Sydney. He liked to tell corny jokes as he was handing out the paychecks...

Here are some of DON's early 1980s drawings I found in my stash. I think these are from 1984/1985.

This drawing was drawn by DON to encourage me (James) to go to the gym.
