Issue #19 of The Exposure Sheet is the final one of the year. Porky Pig was apparently part of a float (not a balloon) in the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade… I’d like to see a photo of that.

Don’t miss Michael Maltese’s list of What New Yorkers Think of Hollywood – and What Hollywood Thinks of New York. The more things change, the more they stay the same! Bios include animator Vive Risto, inbetweener Murray Hudson, and painters Eleanor Minett and Mildred O’Blenis.
PORKY THE GIANT KILLER was released around the time of Exposure Sheet #19, on November 18th, 1939
Onto a new year, and a new numbering (Vol. 2 No. 1) for The Exposure Sheet in 1940.
