Animation has it’s share of many, many uncredited artists/animators. Especially those that weren’t key men (story, layout, background, animation, etc). One of them, Michael “Mike” Balukas, was deaf and while working at Disney. He had his own method to combat the problem of not hearing the word, “earthquake!” Which was stacking pencil stubs on the top of his desk, in which the later Disney animators would “prank” him after that. He is seen in a 1928 Harrison-Gould staff photo (in the far left) and in this 1930-1931 Fleischer Studios photo, an inker for H-G and I presume that or an inbetweener at Flesicher and Disney.
He was born in 1906 in Pennsylvania and died somewhere else in 1992 and his mother came from Lithuania and was more than likely raised Catholic.
The 1940 census lists him as living with his mother, Anna. And his 5 brothers and 2 sisters in Brooklyn, New York so it’s safe to say that he left the industry sometime after the 1930’s.

Prosperity Blues (1932)
This is a short about optimism during the great depression. Krazy is working an apple stand and nobody can afford his wares. Things are bleak but Krazy meets a dancing horse who brings him and the whole town patriotic glee and hope as the vaults open and money flows out.

100 years ago... LtCmdr Rupert Gould best selling book 100 years ago, Royal Navy LtCmdr Rupert Gould (1890-1948) published his famous book " The Marine Chronometer " (preface December 1922 - 1923) but we didn't have to wait a century for a worthy reprint as in 2013 the ACC Antique Collectors' Club brought out their 365 pages version... and again in 2016. A truly amazing book with extra chapter full of great color photographs as both reprints almost sold out immediately. October 5th, 2023 will be the 75th anniversary of the passing of LtCmdr Rupert Gould, a Royal Navy officer who safed, cleaned and repaired John Harrison's Marine clocks, naming H1 to H5. More recommended reading: Time Restored: The Harrison Timekeepers and RT Gould, the man who knew (almost) everything (2006 Oxford Univ Press). (Photos: MWU & Nat Maritime Museum)

藝術的宗旨是逐漸地、終生地打造一種驚奇和寧靜的狀態。
The purpose of art is the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.
- Glenn Gould 格連·顧爾德(1932–1982)/加拿大鋼琴怪傑,被公認為是20世紀最著名的古典鋼琴家之一,並以演奏約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴哈的樂曲而聞名於世。顧爾德的演奏以非凡的技術和表達巴哈音樂對位結構的能力而著稱。He was a Canadian classical pianist. He was one of the most famous and celebrated pianists of the 20th century, and was renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Gould's playing was distinguished by remarkable technical proficiency and a capacity to articulate the contrapuntal texture of Bach's music.
🎹 the best 👍 Glenn Gould plays Bach 💞

"My," Mrs. Hubbard giggled. "Such a strong young man!"
"There. We. Go," Anthony stood up, dusting off his hands.
"Tony, was it? Thanks for bringing out my orders. You're strong!"
Anthony chuckled. He nodded, shaking the ladies' hands. "Anthony Harrison. Pleasure to meet the both of you."
"Priscilla, he looks wonderful! Is the reason you keep avoiding my question was because he's your husband?" Mrs. Hubbard said, almost squealing.
Mrs. Gould sighed, crossing her arms. "Here we go again."
"You found such a good husband, Priscilla," Mrs. Hubbard continued. "I'm happy the ranch is in good hands! I worry Bertie would have to close it once he's gotten old...and now he has a young couple to inherit it!"
Priscilla's lips went thin. "I—"
"And here I was thinking he could be perfect for my sister!"
Anthony awkwardly chuckled.
"Anita, come now, stop being so nosy," Mrs. Gould chuckled. "Look at Priscilla's face. She's red!"
Mrs. Hubbard laughed. "Oh, don't be so flustered, darling. You look good together! Have you got any children yet? How are you in bed? I'm sure you'll be popping out little kids in no time! He looks like he would be dancing with you in the bed with so much vigor!"
Priscilla was fuming. "Actually—"
"—Anita, Lily!"
Albert had stepped out of the porch. "So nice to see you again!"
"Bertie!" Mrs. Hubbard greeted Albert. "You didn't tell me Priscilla has a husband!"
"Because we're no longer married," Priscilla mumbled under her breath.
Anthony gently elbowed her. He whispered, "Just go with the flow. If you deny it, they'll become too nosy. We can't tell them what happened, can we?"
"I suppose you're right..."
Albert took a quick glance on both Anthony and Priscilla. He chuckled, "Ah, great kids, they are. Come, come. Do you mind signing this for me? And here too."

By the summer of 1958, the nucleus of the future Beatles - Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, two protons and a neutron - was formed. At this point they were not so much a band as a small circle of musical friends.

. . . [T]he Dorians transmuted the role of the ancient creator-goddess of the earlier Greeks—Athene. In pre-Hellenic myth, as well as in the memories of Hesiod and Plato, Athene had created the race of Greeks from Hellen, the son (originally the daughter) of he first couple—Pyrrha and Deucalion. From the four sons of Hellen—Ion, Achaeus, Acolus, and Dorus—had sprung the four branches of the historical Greeks, the Ionians, Achaeans, Acolians, and Dorians.
Athene remained the supreme deity of the three older branches until the Dorians, the youngest and least civilized of the family, invaded Greece at the beginning of the first millennium B.C. Somewhere in their two-thousand-year wanderings in the wilds of Europe, they had learned a new god-religion and had adopted Zeus as their deity. After their conquest of their elder brothers, they sought to impose on them their new god, in which endeavor it became necessary to demote the Great Goddess, in the persons of Themis (Justice), Metis (Intelligence), Hera (Courage), and Athene (Wisdom). The Dorians therefore married Zeus to the first three goddesses, relegating them to secondary roles as mere consorts of the new god. But with Athene the problem was more difficult. Athene was the eternal and blessed virgin, and her devotees would not permit her to become a wife of Zeus. And so the Dorians determined that she must become his daughter. Zeus thereupon got Metis with child. When he was warned by the Delphic Oracle that the child in Metis' belly would wrest the world away from him (that the goddess would depose the god), he swallowed Metis.
Metis remained in Zeus' belly "giving him knowledge," while the child Athene, insisting upon being born even from a belly within a belly, as it were, burst from her father's head. This miracle, no more absurd than Eve's birth from Adam's rib, reflects the effort of patriarchal society to denigrate the importance of women even in the procreative role. "The outrageous myth of the birth of Achene from Zeus' head," writes Harrison, "is but the emphasis and over-emphasis of a new patriarchal social structure."
Despite Zeus' precautions, Athene remained the primary deity of Athens, and was always worshiped by the Ionian Greeks with more ardor and more devotion than was Zeus.
