Irv Spence's Cartoon Diary: March 3, 1944





Fred Quimby and Tex Avery


From Joe Barbera's My Life in 'toons:
In the meantime, Tex Avery had scouted out a new form of lunchtime amusement for us. He found a comfortable nook behind one of the great facades that made up, as I recall, a Manhattan streetscape, and he put together a crap game, which soon became a respected lunchtime institution- albeit a short-lived one. Hearing about it, Quimby issued a proclamation forbidding gambling on the lot.
