Biography

Charles 'Chuck' McKimson was the youngest of three brothers (the others were Robert and Tom) who worked at Leon Schlesinger's Looney Tunes cartoon factory (nicknamed 'Termite Terrace') at Warner Brothers. Charles started out as a printer and lino-type operator for his father's newspaper, before embarking on his first brief stint as an animator with Disney. Except for wartime service with the U.S. Army Signals Corps, he went on to function as an integral part of Tex Avery's animation unit at Warners from 1937. As lead animator, he created numerous drawings and celluloid images (cels), featuring the likes of Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Wile E. Coyote and Foghorn Leghorn. He left the studio in 1954 to join Dell Comics (a company which also released Warner Brothers animations under syndication) as illustrator. In the 1960's, Charles set up a production company which created animated film titles and special effects.
