> By ERIC P. NASH
> Bill Peet, an illustrator, screenwriter and childrens book author almost as
> well known for his tempestuous, 27-year relationship with Walt Disney as for the
> cartoon characters he created, died last Saturday at his home in Studio City,
> Calif. He was 87. Mr. Peet, who wrote and illustrated 35 childrens books, all
> but one for Houghton Mifflin, was an early voice of dissent at Disneys so-called
> Mouse Factory, which earned a reputation for a culture of conformity. He was
> hired in 1937, when he was 22, as an in-betweener, responsible for the rote
> chore of providing fill-in drawings to make animated characters like Donald Duck
> appear to move. Finally, in a fit of pique, he left his drawing board one day,
> screaming, No more ducks!
