    1. The voice actors are the unsung heroes of animation, Debra.

    1. Whatever the difference in our ages, Ananka, they were reruns for me too.

  3. Believe it or not, I have never seen any of these cartoons, nor did I even know the names of Mel Brooks and Arthur Q. Bryan. Popular culture has simply never been part of my life.

    1. That's fine, David. I don't have a problem with you skipping a post like this.

  4. Hello Kirk, People today who wear suits have the reputation of being overly serious, but your photo shows this is not necessarily the case.

  5. Well… they are basically the voices of an entire era of cartoons 😄🎬 It’s wild how Mel Blanc alone could populate so many iconic characters, and Arthur Q. Bryan gave Elmer Fudd that unforgettable charm. Hard to imagine animation history without them!

  6. Honestly, they kind of earned the right to be legendary 😄🎬 Between Mel Blanc’s endless range of characters and Arthur Q. Bryan’s unmistakable Elmer Fudd, they pretty much shaped the sound of classic cartoons. Animation just wouldn’t be the same without them!

    1. There were other voices in animation, Top 10, but those two certainly stand out.
