@Gmnt_bcwiz I adore the backgrounds and overhead shots in "Rascal." They truly look like Wisconsin to me. I am not far from Brailsford.

@Gmnt_bcwiz In my book about "Rascal" I mention several of the anachronisms that I spotted in the anime... :-)

@sterlingras1221 Yes, of course! Sterling continued to play the banjo in college and throughout his life. My book has a picture of him playing, as an adult...

@Gmnt_bcwiz Yes, I'm sure the animators had this book as a reference for drawing animals...

@chachacha0813 There are sculpin in fast-moving Wisconsin streams. I remember seeing them in the 1970s. They were very small, though - about 8 cm. Not big enough to eat!

@miumiu2407 When I talk about "Rascal" today, I learned that young people do not know what a "sugar cube" is.

@usctsusctu A week or two ago, a boy caught this catfish in the Rock River, at Beloit not far from Brailsford. The boy struggled to bring the fish to shore. A police officer helped him.

On my birthday on May 24 I received a call from Sterling's grandson. He wanted to send several items to the Museum. Last night the Society opened the boxes. We now have Sterling's banjo that he bought in high school, and his typewriter from the mid-1930s.

@Thundersteel81 @writriverdale @JovanGThinks One of the very few anime that are set in the USA. Not only that, you can visit Sterling North's childhood home, the setting of the book, the Disney movie and the anime, as it has been restored as a museum. I'm writing a book about it all...

@sterlingras1221 I believe he wrote it. There was another article from a previous day that does include his by-line. I liked this one because it had a better picture.
