Whoever said that being the "Straight Man" you could be the funny one. that always puzzled me. Sure you needed someone to tell the joke and take the pie in the face, but your could still give a memorable performance to the dull "role". Here are a few pencil tests of the townspeople and their individual laughs when Johnny says that he can bring in the bandits. I gave each person in town their own laugh. I'm such a nerd when it comes to making a personality for a character. The first one is a young lady that is still in the process. She's about 92% done. I gave her a childish one compared tot the others. A girl who's about 15-19 years of age. The second one could be the girls mother by looking. I gave her a stuck up "I think I'm better than you" style. The lone man is a caricature of my fellow colleague Andrew Tomaka. Sometimes when he's being sarcastic, or just for the hell of it he'll actually laugh and enjoy himself. The two middle aged to senior citizen men are caricature of Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two legendary Disney animators. I pictured that their actions would be how they were in real life; real good buddies. I plan on having one more character , a Mexican with a bulky sombrero. when clean up and color are done, their scenes in the picture are completed.

Being upset. the Goofy Guy raises his gun in preparation of shooting Roy, but is clunked on the head from the back and then collapses to the ground. As the camera lowers, the audience sees Johnny holding a rock in hand.

When the girl's veil and hair is blown off by the wind, revealing that the lady was Roy in drag the whole time, but is oblivious to what happened, we cut back to the Goofy Guy who will just be a still image, witht the excption of a twitch on the lower lid.
