That's the address of the new official website that Joe Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg have erected in tribute to one of the all-time greatest actors — and I don't just mean cartoon voice actors. Daws Butler was also a very fine actor, period. That he plied his trade voicing Huckleberry Hound (seen above), Quick Draw McGraw, Snagglepuss, Augie Doggie, Snooper, Blabber, Cap'n Crunch, Hokey Wolf (also seen above), Elroy Jetson and so many more — including the smarter-than-average bruin at left — was a happy fact for the cartoon field. As I've written many times, he was one of the nicest men I've ever met and, for those who were privileged to take classes with him, a wonderful teacher.

So I'm delighted that Joe and Lorie have expanded their collection of Daws facts and curios into a standalone website, and that Ben Ohmart and Joe have compiled a new book of Butler scripts. He was the best.
