He left his mark on shows that defined a generation of television animation, helping shape the rhythm and visual style of Warner Bros. Animation’s resurgence in the late 1980s and 1990s. His work was especially important to the fast-paced, gag-driven storytelling that became a hallmark of that era.>Born in New York City in 1957 and raised in Brooklyn, Caldwell described his childhood as “very safe…very loving,” even though he grew up in the projects. He spent much of it drawing and watching television, taking in “pretty much everything from the ’30s to the ’60s” through New York’s local broadcasts.>He began making comic books as a child, stapling together pages of his own stories. According to his mother, he even brought them to school and sold them for a penny each. “I was surprised I took that kind of initiative,” he said in an interview on Deborah Anderson’s BlkWmnAnimator YouTube channel. The comics were often left unfinished, abandoned after a handful of pages once he ran out of ideas, but the impulse to create was already there, and the origins of a prolific storyboard artist were established.
