Like Buster, artist Dave Wasson grew up bursting with ideas. His creativity led him to CalArts, the school that Walt Disney built, where he studied animation and filmmaking. Since then, he has worked on cartoons for Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network and is currently writing and directing the new series of Mickey Mouse shorts for the Disney Channel. His commercials, cartoons, and films have won numerous honors, including an Emmy Award.

Dave has two boys who also like to ask “What if . . . ?” He can usually be found in his Pasadena, California, studio, which looks a lot like a mad scientist’s laboratory.
