Don Tobin

15 Feb, 1915 in Austin, Texas, USA

He grew up in Long Beach, Calif. and attended UC Berkeley in 1936. His cartooning talents got him an animator’s job at Walt Disney Studios, where he worked on many classic Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck cartoon  shorts, but also the pioneering features of Fantasia, Pinocchio, Dumbo and Bambi. He left the studio after... the infamous 1941 strike, and after some World War II animation projects with the Navy, he went on to create gag cartoons for popular magazines. In 1953, he created THE LITTLE WOMAN, claiming inspiration from his mother-in-law. King Features liked the strip and began distributing it on February 9, 1953. -http://comicskingdom.com/blog/2013/02/27/ask-the-archivist-the-little-woman-by-don-tobin
