[edit] Bagdasarian a cartoonist or not?
If you know of a cartoon drawn by David Seville, please add a description and discussion to the article. The fact that a cartoon was made of the Chipmunks in no way makes him a cartoonist. Some of the greatest comic books ever drawn are about Tarzan, but that doesn't make Edgar Rice Burroughs a cartoonist. Ortolan88 01:52, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I have removed the reference and category of Bagdasarian being a cartoonist. Please provide a reference to back up the claim that he was a cartoonist before re-adding it to the article. Kevyn 16:07, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Someone might want to go and read the History section on http://www.TheChipmunks.com/ ; it seems to establish that in the pre-1960 record packaging the Chipmunks were represented as fairly natural looking chipmunks; their later anthropomorphized forms are more conducive to animation (especially given the prevalent techniques of the time). This latter form seems like a step that would have been taken at a television network or a contract animation house. Final approval might still have rested with Ross, leaving his status as producer and creator intact, but this does not require him to have been a cartoonist. knoodelhed 18:14, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
