Harman, Hugh (1903-1982)
- A friend of
Walt's in Kansas City, Harman was one of the
original staff members of Laugh-O-gram Films,
and later came to Hollywood to join Walt on the
Alice Comedies and Oswald cartoons. With his
partner, Rudy Ising, Harman went on to do
Harman-Ising cartoons for MGM. In 1938,
Walt hired Harman and Ising to work on the
Silly Symphony cartoon, "Merbabies," during a
period when his staff could not turn out the
cartoons fast enough to meet deadlines.
