Big Mooseketeer: Roy Williams
Roy Williams was an animator and gagmeister in the story department for Disney. And us Baby Boomers know him as the Big Mooseketeer on the MIckey Mouse Club TV show. We’d plop in front of the TV after school and laugh at his antics (and begin to wonder about Annette Funicello). All the while sporting out Mickey Mouse Club ears-which Roy Williams invented!. It’s said that Wiliams based the idea on a gag in a Mickey Mouse animated short that he was involved with. And Williams, when he was laid to rest, went out wearing a pair of The Ears. But before he did that and in addition to all his other accomplishments Williams also did freelance magazine gag cartoons. I’m presenting a few of those below. And theres some of Roy’s racy cartoons, the kind he could nver have done at Disney, in my new book, “Clean Cartoonists’ Dirty Drawings”. The book has a special preview website.
