Advice from Ward Kimball [A letter]

(One of my favorite Kimball pictures)

No, I did not receive said latter from beyond the grave; I merely repost it from the blog of (an extremely fortunate) person who got the letter back when he was a kid. If only all of us were as lucky to get advice from the chief designer of numerous great shorts and The Three Caballeros, the greatest (and my personnel favorite) Disney feature film. In the same vein I also consider him the master Donald Duck artist, but his words shows that he is never one to disrespect such seemingly opposites as Ralph Bakshi. Regardless of age, his advice still stands out as something everyone, cartoonist or not, should listen to.
