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.

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
