The Pink Panther is one of my favorite cartoon characters! Corny also designed graphics for another of my favorite cartoons, “The Ant and the Aardvark”. He also directed a couple of TV movies starring Flip Wilson.

I just learned today of Corny Coles Passing,I was so sad to hear this.I knew corny when only a young artist of 14 or 15
when i started to take a class he offered to teach animation free of charge to a group of young artist at night after his full time job ended once a week at the Marvel studios. we all meet up and worked on our films discussed art and created meaningful friendships and memories.It was Corny wo got a assignment for a commercial to be inbetweened and cleaned up,and let us young guys have the job we worked all night and finished it tired but happy and thankfull at Cornys loving act to nurture us in the animation process,When the check came for the scene we did Corney paid us all.He did so many things like this for not only us but people everywhere he meet. what a talent and mentor to so many.

I am probably one of the few people who knew him in the 50′s. He was not only very, very handsome , but so nice and kind and fun to be with. He was always a favorite of mine. He was a good surfer and a good pal to all of us who hung out in Santa Monica with those good looking life guards and surfers.
Those were golden days and he was one of the most Golden.
