Images and Imaginings of Internment: Comics and Illustrations of Camp

Chris Ishii

During this imprisonment, Chris Ishii drew a humor comic strip, 'Lil' Neebo' (1942-1943), for the amusement of his fellow inmates. It was published in the camp newspapers and even continued by other cartoonists after Ishii signed up for military service in the U.S. Army. Throughout his career, he worked as an animator for Walt Disney and UPA, but also co-founded his own studio Focus Productions. Ishii was a creative director on the 1974 unaired Mad MagaziTV special and responsible for the animated segment in Woody Allen's Oscar-winning picture 'Annie Hall' (1977).
