Low Spark of Lyman

What a night! I had to do six encores at the club.

Mark Evanier has a belated obituary for Leo De Lyon, aged 96. De Lyon is best known in the voiceover field for portraying Brain and Spook in Top Cat. He also had the uncredited role of Flunkey in Disney's The Jungle Book, and made appearances on The Flintstones, The Incredible Hulk, Paw Paws, The Smurfs and Foofur.

According to Evanier (quoting reader Georgi Mihailov), the last living voice actors for early Hanna-Barbera shows now (depending on your definition of early Hanna-Barbera) are Jimmy Weldon, Tim Matheson, and Danny Bravo. I think they may have missed one: Elliot Field (Quick Draw McGraw, The Flintstones), assuming he's still alive (I mean, given how we're finding this out about Leo De Lyon...).

there are many parts of my childhood I wish I could erase from my memories. so much bullying. I was mentally, emotionally and physically traumatized. really, my current personality is me trying to reclaim that part of my life.
Since it's May the Fourth, might as well post this bit of trivia:

DePatie–Freleng Enterprises- known for The Pink Panther, mid-60s Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, many Dr. Seuss specials, The Bod Squad, and Time for Timer- handled the lightsaber effects for Episode IV.
I wonder if the new Dexter's Lab set will have Rude Removal on it. They were okay with putting The Whoopass Girls on the PPG set many years ago that they were advertising on Cartoon Network (albeit they muted every time it was said in the pilot). This set's clearly for adults.
They should file a lawsuit against MeTV Toons for stealing the classic cartoons away from Boomerang. Boomerang found the classic cartoons first.

I will miss your use of Mouse as your pfp, but since your name is LinusFan303, having Linus as your pfp only makes sense.
