Louis Wain Fact #37:
In 1917, Wain was invited by filmmaker H.F. Wood to make a series of cartoons. However, after the production of short films The Golfing Cat and The Hunter and the Dog, he left the partnership and never produced in the medium again, apparently because his style did not lend itself to animation.

Dear Miss Hall,
Referring to our conversation today re Mr J Hannon late editor of map, I have just heard from his sister who thinks it wiser to wait till I hear from her again, as the doctor says that a growth is forming at the back of his eyes & this evidently means cataract possibly blindness.
Yours faithfully
Louis Wain
