Springtime For Thomas Backgrounds

It’s a shame the background artists were never credited in the Tom and Jerry cartoons through the ‘40s. As far as I know, Bob Gentle was the background artist in the Hanna-Barbera unit and would have painted these in “Springtime for Thomas” (1946).








Gentle goes for muted colours for the most part, but turns to darker ones for the scene where an alley cat is in a rundown back lane.
