Fernando gave my father a few oil on canvas pieces he painted but not of anything Hanna Barbera had him doing, something he was doing on his own time. If anyone would like to see the artwork he gave my father email me at frost1974@protonmail.com.

He definitely had firm opinions - never bothered me. I believe there may have been alcohol problem, especially by later 70's. Last time I saw him was at a bus stop across from H&B - he had a folder of what might have been layouts, freelance work. There was a sadness about him, I still recall that dayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468264736881675604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-66239443997172919692020-06-19T16:25:17.899-07:002020-06-19T16:25:17.899-07:00Trying to figure out how to get a photo in this th...Trying to figure out how to get a photo in this thread of the picture Fernando or Monte as his friends called him, Uncle Nano to us kids, painted of my father, Ron Brown.

I also recall Eisenberg saying how Monty took some photographs of actor, Jack Nicholson when latter worked at MGM cartoon studio as office boy.

BEAR AND THE GREAT BEAR SCARE. It was produced by a lady who worked with Chuck Jones in the late 1970s-early 1980s, Mary Roscoe. The interesting thing about TED E. was that Mary was paid the budget for a fully-animated (or reasonably so) TV special, by CBS, I believe. However, she took the money and ran, to some exotic foreign location, and what was delivered to the network was essentially a "pose reel", nice illustrations, but little or no actual cel animation. I don't remember Montealegre working on the backgrounds, but they looked pretty good I think, admittedly it's been a long time since I have seen TED E. It's one of the most infamous unrecorded chapters in TV animation special history. <br />Mark KauslerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
