Timeline

1960

In the 1960s, Turner settled in Los Angeles, where he died in 1967 at the age of 53.

1948

Around 1948 Turner joined MGM, where he was an animator on Tex Avery's What Price Fleadom? (1948) and a few 'Barney Bear' shorts by Preston Blair and Michael Lah. Between 1953 and 1955 he briefly worked at Walter Lantz' studio on several 'Woody Woodpecker' and 'Chilly Willy' shorts, before joining UPA for an equally brief time as a director/animator on the 'Mr. Magoo' series until the end of the decade. Turner concluded his animation career at the Hanna-Barbera Studios, where he worked on TV series like The Flintstones and Yogi Bear. He also directed several episodes of The Alvin Show for Format Films in the early 1960s before passing away in 1967.

1947

Turner was also a regular contributor to Dell's 'Walt Disney's Comics and Stories' from 1947 on, where he was one of the original artists to create stories about the Big Bad Wolf and his good-natured son Lil' Bad Wolf. Colleagues who also drew comics about these wolves around the same time were Carl Buettner, Roger Armstrong, Harvey Eisenberg, Jack Bradbury, Ken Champin and Paul Murry. Turner drew comics starring 'Mickey Mouse', 'Bucky Bug' and 'Dumbo'.

While Turner predominantly drew comics based on characters others created he also had two original newspaper comics of his own, namely 'Trudy' (1947–1948), 'Chico' (1948–1949) published in the teen magazine Cookie and 'Holly Wood' (1950) which could be read in the weekly Redwood Journal from California.

1940

Although mainly active in animation, Turner also worked as a comics artist from the mid-1940s on. Together with Jim Davis he worked freelance through the Sangor Shop for companies like Better Publications, Dearfield Comics and ACG ('Little Pancho Vanilla') and funny animal comics for Coo Coo, Giggle, Barnyard and Ha-Ha. At Dell Comics he mainly drew comics based on Warner Brothers characters like 'Bugs Bunny', 'Porky Pig' and 'Sniffles & Mary Jane', followed by stories about the MGM character Barney Bear. During this same period he also scripted 'Barney' comics which were illustrated by Carl Barks. Barks, however, couldn't really identify with the characters and often rewrote dialogue and plot developments to fit his own personality. Eventually he departed from the series, leaving Turner in charge of both text and illustration. One of Turner's innovations was Barney's antagonistic neighbour Mooseface McElk.

1913

Gilbert H. Turner (September 11, 1913 – March 19, 1967) was an American animator, comic book artist and producer.

Turner was born in 1913. He worked as an ice cream salesman before starting as an animator at Disney Studios in January 1933. His stay was so brief that no credit known for his work there survived. He joined Harman-Ising Studios a year later, which would eventually evolve into the animation department of Warner Brothers. After working at Hugh Harman's studio, he moved to work at the studio of Jam Handy in Detroit, Michigan. Despite a short period at Jam Handy's studio, which specialized in industrial and promotional films, he returned to Warners in 1938, where he remained until the mid-1940s, primarily under the direction of Friz Freleng. He worked anonymously on Looney Tunes classics such as The Trial of Mr. Wolf (1941), Rhapsody in Rivets (1941), The Wabbit Who Came to Supper (1942), Fresh Hare, Pigs in a Polka (1943) and Little Red Riding Rabbit (1944).
