Comic Mint your best source for rare, kooky, and classic animation art, is pleased to offer fans of "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" this RARE Jay Ward Studio Scene Cel.

Due to most of the cels from the original show being thrown out following production in Mexico,The Jay Ward Studio produced a series of hand-inked and hand-painted "Scene Cels” which were sold to collectors and fans at his Dudley Do-Right Emporium on Sunset Blvd during the 1980's.

This is a great hand inked and hand painted 12 field scene cel featuring the main cast members: Rocket J. Squirrel, Bullwinkle J. Moose, Natasha Fatale and Boris Badanov. Although released unsigned, this cel has been hand signed by JAY WARD (1920-1989). It was said that if you bought a cel and asked Jay Ward to sign it, he would walk out and sign it for you.

Please note that most Bullwinkle scene cels feature him in orange, as Mr. Ward preferred it over brown; HOWEVER, a few were made with him in his original color, so this is an exceptionally rare Bullwinkle in brown. The overall measurements of the cel are 10.5" by 12.5" inches, and the artwork is in excellent condition.
