Orestes Calpini

Orestes Calpini was an animator who got his start at the Fleischer studio in NYC and later in Miami Florida. Examples of his credited work can be found in Popeye, early Superman cartoons and the feature length Gulliver's Travels. He continued working at Famous Studios until the late '40's.

His lesser-known but now increasingly recognized work came as comic book art in the '40's, when he worked on Hillman's Punch and Judy Comics for editor Ed Cronin, himself a former Fleischer artist.
