Best known for his work with Warner Bros. Cartoons on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of shorts, Chuck Jones was a longtime animator, director and painter who earned a trio of Academy Awards throughout his career. ‘What’s Opera Doc’ by the Spokane native was ranked the greatest cartoon of all-time by a group of Jones’ peers. This limited-edition Michigan J Frog Warner Bros framed cel has been signed by the legendary artist. At approx 10” x 13”, the singing frog is depicted belting out “everybody’s doin’ the Michigan Rag”, with Jones signing beneath in thick black ink, with a Warner Bros. seal placed to the left, and the limited-edition number of “85/200” placed over the right, along with a “1987" copyright date. Double-matted and framed to approx 17” x 19 ½”, the cel appears to be in beautiful condition (there is some wear to the frame). An LOA from Classic Auctions will accompany.
