Also included in this two-volume set: Zeke the Big Bad Wolf, always in pursuit of the Three Little Pigs--and Bucky Bug, the daring, mischievous beetle whose escapades took him from brutal birds of prey to the trenches of the Great Flyburg War! Plus more golden-age Silly Symphony cartoon stars: feisty Max Hare, slow-but-sure Toby Tortoise, that awful bandit Dirty Bill (who "never took a bath, and he never will!")... and timid Elmer Elephant, one of his adventures plotted by comics maestros Carl Barks and Walt Kelly!

About the Author
Merrill De Maris (1898-1948) was born in New Jersey and started work with Disney in 1933. De Maris divided his time between scripting the Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse comic strips and working as an animation story man. In the late 1930s, De Maris began a five-year run as the main Mickey scripter for plotter/penciler Floyd Gottfredson, creating such classics as "The Bar-None Ranch" (1938) and "Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot" (1939). In later years, De Maris left Disney to become a professional gardener.
Al Taliaferro (1905-1969), born in Montrose, Colorado, "knew [he] was going to be a cartoonist" from childhood. Hired at the Walt Disney Company in January 1931, Taliaferro inked the Mickey Mouse daily comic strip before graduating to full art duty on the Silly Symphony Sunday feature. There Taliaferro would unite with Donald Duck, the star with whom he would forever be associated--and for whom Taliaferro personally created the inimitable Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Earl Duvall (1898-1969) was an animator and story man who worked with Disney in the early sound era. As the original writer and artist of the Silly Symphonies Sunday comic strip, Duvall created Bucky Bug, the first Disney star character to make his debut in comics rather than animation. In later years, Duvall also worked for the Leon Schlesinger animation studio (Looney Tunes).
