* ReclusiveArtist: To a degree. In real life, Messmer was a very modest man who preferred to work on his animation and comics solo and without complication--alledgedly, he even turned down an offer to work for Disney so that he could continue working alone in peace (although he did agree to contribute some new animation of Felix to the Series/WaltDisneyPresents episode ''The Story of the Animated Drawing''). Thankfully, he did grant interviews and got recognition as the creator of Felix and a pioneer of animation by the end of his life.
