He would have been 98 today. -- I love the epitaph on his grave marker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Blanc

1. I went to a talk he gave in the late seventies |
|
He was great. He talked about his career and interspersed the voices of many of his characters.

He was one of the true greats of animation.
I hope you don't think I'm getting pushy with my replies in all of your posts today. You're posting some interesting stuff.

I heard he hated carrots and whenever you heard Bugs Bunny munching on a carrot it was Mel chewing on celery.

4. WB ran the greatest ad when he died |
|
It was in the trades — Variety et al. Full page, with a relatively small drawing of all the WB 'toonies with eyes forlornly cast downward.
The caption read, "At a loss for words."
