I first met Melendez ( he did not like to be called Mellendez, he'd rather to be called "Bill") when he came to Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1981 in order to manage a five Snoopy spots for the brazilian television. I stiil remember that tall and gentle man who impressed my animators team for his skill in drawing all peanuts characters. He gave me several acetates the day he visited my studio, we lunched togethr , when he spoke of his great experience in the animation field, mainly in Disney studios.
