Maisy the Mutt, Sketches
Maisy the mutt design sketches, Ivan Hoth
Pencil sketches of Maisy the mutt, a cartoon dog drawn in a rubberhose style.
The sketches here feature one of the many design updates for Maisy the Mutt, as it was needed for the animators to provide a greater range of movements for her. Ivan Hoth would often tell friends that Maisy was based on, “a dog-like person I know,” but would never clarify who or what that was referring to. Thus, Maisy’s inspiration was never confirmed.
