Cartoon Storyboards from the Sixties -- Irv Spector draws Linus the Lionhearted

The classic cartooning and animation work of Irv Spector has started to re-emerge from underneath the sands of time and forgetfulness. Irv Spector's son, Paul, is spearheading the Irv Spector revival with his posts about the life and work of his father on the Spectorphile blog at http://irvspector.blogspot.com/

As a storyboard artist, the stuff that gets me most excited are these beautifully loose storyboards from the 1960's TV cartoon, Linus the Lionhearted.
