Photo courtesy of Abner's grand daughter ReneeThat's him on the left - well, part of him. The other animators pictured are unknown.
Possibly as rare or rarer than hens' teeth are photos taken of animators at work inside the Fleischer Studio. I'd like to think they were working a Popeye cartoon when this photo was taken. Note the Popeye and Bluto models sheets on the desk tops.

Awesome photo!!! I don't know how the poor animators sat on those hard wooden chairs all day.
Wow! What a great photo!
I can't make out the art on those model sheets though.
Hey great photo. Interesting that the models sheets appear to be framed. I just always imagine them stuck to a desk with a pushpin.
A rare treasure.
Shawn - you can find copies of the models sheets in The Fleischer Story book or on Kevin Langely's blog:

Wow, thanks Bob! I'll check those out!
Might the fellow at center be a supervisor of assistants rather than another animator? His desk looks a little different than the others.
