  Rudolph Ising
Harman and Ising first worked in animation in the early 1920s at Walt Disney's studio in Kansas City.
Even while still with Disney Harman and Ising had aspired to start their own studio, and had created and copyrighted the cartoon character Bosko in 1928.
Ising created the character Barney Bear for MGM at this time, basing the sleepy-eyed character partially on himself.

 Harman and Ising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was during this time, that Harman and Ising developed a style of cartoon drawing that would later be closely associated with Disney while Harman and Ising's contribution would become completely ignored.
The Oswald cartoons that Harman and Ising worked on are completely different from the Oswald cartoon made before and after and can easily be distinguished by anyone familiar with their work.
Harman and Ising had maintained the rights to the Bosko character, and they signed a deal with MGM to start a new series of Bosko shorts in 1934.

 DVDtoons! Reviews - Uncensored Bosko #1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Harmon and Ising were early associates of Walt Disney in his Kansas City days, and they continued with him on the Oswald and Alice series when Walt moved to California.
Harman and Ising stayed on with the Oswald producers until Universal Studios in turn cut those producers out of the picture and set up their own studio with Walter Lantz.
Harman and Ising, perhaps seeing how their fortunes had hinged on those of the producers, then decided to take a lesson from Disney and climb as close to the top rung of the ladder as they could.

 ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Biopedia: ISING, Rudolph
Ising and Harman got together and created Bosko, a fl stereotype cartoon character.
Ising was directing one-shot stories called Happy Harmonies (a pun on the Harmon-Ising, or "harmonising") that were based on music but had weak or no plots, such as The Calico Dragon (1935).
Ising, along with Harman, did freelance work and in 1938 directed Merbabies for Disney.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Piggy
In fact, so Mickey-like was he that Walt Disney himself, who had endured Cubby Bear, Bosko and all the rest with equanimity, personally asked Foxy creator Rudolph Ising to stop.
Ising, a former Disney employee, was willing to comply, but had two more Foxy cartoons already in the works.
He got around that by creating a new character, if "creating" isn't too strong a word, who would look enough like Foxy to be easily inserted into the artwork as a replacement for the older one, but enough unlike him appear less of a direct plagiarism.

 Bob Clampett, Boy Wonder Of Stage C
In 1930, when Clampett was just seventeen years old, Leon Schlesinger viewed one of Bob's 16mm films and was so impressed with the young man's work, he offered him an assistant position at Harman-Ising Studio.
The team of Harman and Ising were creating Bosco theatrical cartoons directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising with Friz Freleng and others animating, and Schlesinger producing from the art and title company on Melrose Avenue where he held forth.
The Bosco cartoons, short on plot, substance and artistic finesse, were distributed with Warner features and exhibited across the U.S. At Harman-Ising, Bob performed his assistantship with energy and enthusiasm.

With Virginia Davis, Margaret Davis, Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks, Hugh Harman, Rudolph Ising
These critters may be drawings that, like Walt's, have recently come to life, but it seems equally likely that there are just comical animals who hang out in cartoon studios waiting for the humans to harness them into a cartoon.
It's curious to consider that the laughing animators are the Disney crew—Ub Iwerks, Hugh Harman, and Rudolph Ising—who have spent many real-world hours choreographing and drawing the hijinks that they are now pretending to be delighted by.

 The Early Looney Tune Cartoons 1929-1935   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In 1929 Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising created a cartoon star which they named Bosko.
Harman and Ising used a pilot film (Bosko The Talk-Ink Kid) made in the Summer of 1929 to sell the idea of a cartoon series that would compete with Disney's Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphonies.
Around August of 1933 Harman and Ising left the Warner Brothers cartoon department and went over to MGM to being a new series called Happy Harmonies.

 DVD Verdict: Christmas Classic Revisited
This is quite an interesting collection with some nice Max Fleischer material included such as "Somewhere in Dreamland" and "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer." The problem is that it's all presumably public domain material and in pretty rough shape, looking little better than it did on VHS.
Poor contrast, jiggle, speckling, and scratches are the order of the day, not to mention a noisy sound track.
The inclusion of Max Fleischer's 1944 cartoon "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" also provides a nice inducement.

 The Straight Dope: What's the difference between a Looney Tune and a Merrie Melody?
The Looney Tunes series, created by Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising, was introduced in 1930.
A blatant rip-off of Disney's Silly Symphonies series, each Looney Tune was required to have one full chorus from a song from a Warner feature film.
(The volume of cartoons fluctuated in later years, but the two series were always produced in roughly equal numbers.) At this point Harman and Ising divided responsibilities, with Harman in charge of Looney Tunes and Ising handling the Melodies.

 Early Warner Bros. cartoon character similar to Mickey
The first star: In the early days, anything in cartoons started with Walt Disney and The Mick.
So, the main character in the first Warner toon, "Sinkin' in the Bathtub'' (1930), was Bosko, an obvious Mickey Mouse knockoff from former Disney animators Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising.
Bosko was featured in 38 of Warner's first 65 cartoons from 1930 to '33.
