| Happy Birthday Pete! |
Today is the birthday of animator and director Pete Western, and here at FLiP we thought we would share some of the hand-drawn cards sent
to him by his illustrator father
Mike Western over the years. They serve as snapshots through
the decades from the 70s to the noughties. I have know Pete for almost 30 years - we first met on
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - but I had no idea his dad was a famous comic book artist. More than that, I recognise Mike Western's style from the war comics that I and my friends read avidly as a child, re-fighting WW2 in our living rooms with plastic soldiers and hand-painted Spitfires.
