Andrew, I'm interested in where you learned that this was for Jack Mendelsohn? I ask because I have one of the design pieces as well. I have Andro and Dr Ezra Eon. I had been assuming that he was pitching to Hanna Barbara, because they worked with him on so many animation projects.
Really happy to learn the real story behind it, and not just be guessing. Thanks for putting your's up, and filling me in a little. It makes me super happy to own a neat Toth piece. Sure you feel the same, congrats on a neat piece!

Hi Keith, I'm so sorry to get back to you so late—I'm not very good at keeping up with messages here :)
I more or less copied and pasted the description from Heritage Auctions, which is where I purchased this piece. You can see the information here. However, it's confirmed from Mr. Mendelsohn himself in this issue of Alter Ego—scroll down to page 15, "Jack Mendelsohn reminisces about Alex Toth," for a brief mention of his commissioning Annie.
I hope that helps!
