Hard at work

Like a lot of anime heroes, Gene's not much of an idea man. Give him a puzzling problem to solve and this is pretty much what you get.

Despite the line fade, I like this cel because of Gene's pose and because it shows his shoes. Only a few cels in my collection show the character's shoes.

It's strange -- everybody wears shoes, and the character designers have to come up with "animatable" shoe designs for their "children." Still, you almost never think about what animated characters have on their feet...
