I wonder how a caricature of Ward Kimball ended up on this jigsaw puzzle released by Jouets Vera in France in the 1940s.

  2. I think it might have to do with the model sheet seen here (the bottom-most image):

    It wasn't used for the film but apparently it did somehow end up on merchandise art!

  3. Thanks David. I had never seen those model sheets. This is extremely cool. One more case in which the merchandizing points into the direction of abandoned projects (like the Gremlins book, etc.).
