Ok, I knew from college orientation days that Arizona State's mascot Sparky the Sun Devil was designed by a Walt Disney artist, but only today did I discover this connection (thank you Alumni News. Disney artist Berk Anthony designed Sparky. Anthony worked at Disney in the late 30's and early 40's. Rumors persist that Walt himself designed Sparky, but many people simply believe that Anthony modeled Sparky after Walt.
What do you think?

The difference between "involvement" and "commitment" is like a eggs and ham breakfast: The chicken was "involved" - the pig was "commited"!
Maybe they should change the Sun Icon in DCA
to the Sun Devil himself!
