content: Gene Hazelton (1919-2005) worked as both an animator and a newspaper comic artist. In 1939 he was hired by Walt Disney Studios and contributed animation drawings to films such as <i>Fantasia</i> and <i>Pinocchio.</i> After the 1941 animators’ strike at Disney, Hazelton worked for Robert Clampett at Warner Bros., as well as for Hanna-Barbera at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. During the 1950s Hazelton worked as a freelance illustrator and in the process developed his first newspaper comic panel called <i>Angel Face.</i> Beginning in 1961, and for over two decades, he served as the chief illustrator for both <i>The Flintstones</i> and the <i>Yogi Bear</i> newspaper strips for Hanna-Barbera, and assisted with the studio's <i>The Jetsons.</i>
