Professional Cartoonist
Carl had a lifelong passion for the “narrow gauge" railroad lines connecting the mountain mining towns of Colorado. This love of narrow gauge railroads in early mining communities was expressed through his cartoon drawings published in his Fiddletown & Copperopolis comic strip which appeared in Railroad Magazine. During the early 1980s, Carl compiled all his Fiddletown and Copperopolis cartoons into a book. The resulting "Fiddletown and Copperopolis - The life and times of an uncommon carrier" was published in 1985.
From his early days at Disney, Carl shared his enthusiasm for Colorado's narrow gauge railroads with Ward Kimball and the Grizzly Flats Railroad, and brought the theme to numerous comic books he wrote, such as "Micky Mouse in the Vanishing Railroad".
Carl Fallberg was a member of the Animation Guild I.A.T.S.E. Local 839.

Famous quotes containing the word professional:
“I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.”
