Thanks for dropping by, everybody. And thanks to Mark Kausler,
Marc Crisafulli,
Tom Sito, Tom Mazzocco, Brenda and Tom Ray,
Jeff Astolfo,
Chris Sobeniak, Charles Ilardi and Mary Hanley for their contributions, assistance and support; I'm also grateful to the best animation blog ever,
Cartoon Brew, who are responsible for easily half the traffic that this blog received (over 17,000 visits.) Also, because it is so easy to take for granted, it should be mentioned that the
Los Angeles Public Library was an invaluable resource in the production of this blog. As was Joe Barbera's
My Life in 'toons, from which I quoted liberally on several occasions. My apologies and thanks to those websites that I might have grabbed a quote or picture from and neglected to properly credit.
Oh, yeah, and Irv Spence, too. Helluva guy. Couldn't've done it without him.
Happy New Year.
