TDC Senior Strippers 2025 Welcome Floyd Norman
Skip to comments
A profile of Floyd Norman Disney Legend:
Though he prefers to be called a “cartoonist,” few other artists working in animation today can boast a career as varied as that of Floyd Norman. From the 1950s to today, Floyd’s diverse career, insightful viewpoint, and unflinching honesty have truly made him a Disney Legend.
Floyd E. Norman was born on June 22, 1935.
Happy Birthday to Mr. Norman and welcome to The Daily Cartoonist’s Senior Strippers Club!
But Floyd was more than a Disney animator and storyteller. As the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame bio tells us he spread his talents to his own Vignette Films, to Hanna-Barbera, to Pixar, and repeated call-backs to Disney.
And Floyd didn’t just stay “cel-ular” he expanded into print, including the Mickey Mouse comic strip.
Floyd Norman joins the following Senior Strippers, our roster of cartoonists who for 90+ years continue to survive “the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.”
