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.
