San Francisco, California, June 12, 1941
It was a normal drive to work. Same beach, same buildings, same studio. I got out of my car and walk in the studio. When I went over to my desk, there was a note on my computer. The note said “We have a special job. If you’re interested, come to the conference room.” On the back of the note, it said “Bombs Away.” I wanted to know what the job was. As I walked down the hall, there were tons of military drawings on the walls. I figured that the other animators got bored and drew up something different.

“Yeah, we can make you a logo for them. It would be our pleasure.” I told him. I went and told my colleagues and they were very happy to make them a new logo. After a hour of work, we finished the logo and we sent the Army our logo idea. After that, the day was over. I went home tired. I wanted to make more cartoons, though. They are fun to make and a break in the norm. But not today. The day was over and I was home. The studio was locked and everyone was gone. So I went into my room and layed on my bed. Then happily fell
