Benjamin Ashby Clopton, Junior (July 27, 1906 - November 19, 1987) was an artist best known for his work on Walt Disney and Harman-Ising animated cartoons.
In 1941, Harman left MGM and started a new studio with Disney veteran Mel Shaw.
While his early work was for Harman and Ising's "Barney Bear" series, his longest collaboration was with director Tex Avery.
