This original model drawing of Snorky, Bingo, Fleegle and Drooper, all four members of the animal character group, The Banana Splits, was created at the Hanna-Barbera Studio as a model of the four stars in their live-action and animated film that was first broadcast on November 25, 1972. In 1968 Hanna-Barbera launched its first show to combine live-action and animation: The Banana Splits Adventure Hour. It ran two seasons during which The Banana Splits appeared only in live-action segments while the remainder of the show presented cartoon series such as The Three Musketeers and The Arabian Knights. The Banana Splits first appeared as animated characters in The Banana Splits in Hocus Pocus Park. This drawing represents a redesign of the characters for animation, most particularly as regards Snorky. The special was filmed at Kings Island amusement park in Cincinnati, Ohio. The art is titled "'Banana Splits' Lineup," each is named beneath the image, "© 1970 Hanna Barbera Prods., Inc." is written next to the title, and "OK for ink / W.I." is written in red pencil. The art is shown below in two complete images and two details.

two (2) original production animation character drawings
blue and black pencil on two (2) animation sheets, one untrimmed and one trimmed to 12.5" x 8.75", image sizes: 10.25" x 7.25" and 12" x 8.25"

These two (2) original animation character drawings of Hunter were created by a Hanna-Barbera Studio artist in development of the villain in the Hunting the Hunter episode of the television series that was broadcast on 11/24/1968. Hanna-Barbera's 1968-69 show combined live-action film of actors playing Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher and Huck Finn with animated characters and backgrounds. Iwao Takamoto and Alex Toth were credited with Character Design, and the look of the villains, usually incarnations of Injun Joe from the original story by Mark Twain, owed much to the styling brought to the studio by comic artist Alex Toth in the 1960s. The artist annotated one of the sheets with the character's name and studio production number: "Hunter 30-11". Our certificate of authenticity is included.
