Corny Taffy
Corny Cole’s home was destroyed in a recent California fire. 90% of his artwork, saved from over his many years in animation was destroyed. This is a link to a PayPal site where you can donate some coin to help Corny and his wife who lost everything in the fire.
I have a feeling that many people don’t know of Corny’s incredible talent, so I’ve been trying to feature some of the material I have. It’s all stunning artwork, so it’s also a treat for me.
Here’s a sequence of layouts from Dick Williams’ Raggedy Ann featuring Ann, Andy and the Camel in the taffy pit. All drawings (and there are many hundreds more like this) were done by Corny.

The taffy sequence is too good.
You can’t help but look at it and think “that was an awful lot of work”.

Awesome post…amazing drawings. Do you have any more stowed away of the taffy monster, The Greedy? He makes up one of the more bizarre sequences of the feature, and would love to see the drawings if they exist.
