Meeting McCay Spring Lake, MI was the childhood home to animation pioneer Winsor McCay - a mere 15 miles away from Bluffton. "Even Buster Keaton paid homage to McCay, in his 1923 film The Three Ages. He asked his writer, Clyde Bruckman, 'Remember Gertie the Dinosaur? . . . The first cartoon comedy ever made. I saw it in a nickelodeon when I was fourteen. I'll ride in on an animated cartoon.' " |
