(Vintage Animation Art) An original animation cel from one of the greatest Loony Tunes episodes ever made1, Porky in Wackyland, by his chief animator, Bob Clampett (1913 – 1984). Matted with a 10 x 12 in. printed background of the border of Wackyland which was inhabited by “100 NUTS AND A SQUIRREL”, the piece is numbered 344 of 500. The 1938 cartoon, largely inspired by the work of Salvador Dali, was deemed “culturally significant” by the Library of Congress in 2000 when they selected the short for preservation in the National Film Registry.
