Seoul, South Korea, December, 1969: "Woody Woodpecker" creator Walter Lantz sketches his cartoon characters on a blackboard for students at Seoul American School. Lantz and his wife Gracie, who provided Woody's voice in the cartoons, were on a USO-sponsored tour that also took them to Japan, Okinawa, the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii.
