EARLY PEPPER ANN DESIGNS

Back before  Pepper Ann was  Disney's  Pepper Ann she was a comic strip  in YM Magazine (aka Young and Modern Magazine) (nee Young Miss Magazine)
Shockingly, the internets don't have no examples of the strip. But I can assure you that PA looked a lot like this guy:

Which isn't shocking since

Sue Rose 

created both

Fido Dido

and

Pepper Ann.

Before Disney,

Sue pitched a

Pepper Ann series to 

Nickelodeon

but they asked for for it to

NOT

look like Fido.

Enter 

Mr. Warburton!

I had been working with Sue on 

Fido Dido stuffs for a long time.

We had similar styles and 

got along sooper good.

So she asked if I'd help

figure out what a

non-Fido 

Pepper Ann 

might look like.

We all know what PA ended up looking like...

but here are some early sketches that

Sue and I kicked around:

It's so fun

looking back at 

old stuff like this!
