Hey, Stu Shostak has a real good show for tomorrow as he welcomes the two gents in the photo below. The fellow on the left is Jerry Eisenberg, who in addition to being a fine fellow and an amazing artist is one of the last veterans of the early days of Hanna-Barbera Studios who's still upright and interviewable. Jerry is a second-generation cartoonist, his father Harvey having been one of the great illustrators of "funny animal" comic books and animation designers, including extensive work with his pal Joe Barbera on the MGM Tom & Jerry cartoons and on the early days of Huckleberry Hound and The Flintstones. Jerry's career overlapped his old man's, starting at MGM, segueing to Warner Brothers and then to Hanna-Barbera where he became one of the key designers of their shows in the mid-sixties and into the seventies. He's also a very clever, funny fellow.
Also clever and funny is my longtime amigo Scott Shaw!, who began designing and doing layout for Hanna-Barbera in the seventies and is also an expert at what came before there. So is another talented guy, Earl Kress, who'll be serving as Stu's co-host helping to interview Jerry and Scott tomorrow on Stu's Show. I'm guessing they'll most be talking about Jerry's work and that Scott will have to come back for another broadcast to do justice to his long, amazing career in cartooning. Currently, Scott's many projects include writing and drawing comic books of The Simpsons.
In other words, Stu has Too Much Show tomorrow. If you'd like to bite off a chunk of it and learn much about the history of Hanna-Barbera, tune in Stu's Show when it comes to you live via the Internet at 4 PM Pacific. That's 7 PM on the East Coast and 5:30 AM in Rangoon, for all of you Rangoonians out there. It runs for two hours and they'll be gone faster than you can say "Ricochet Rabbit." The program repeats all week but you'll enjoy it most if you're listening in as it happens. Just go to Shokus Internet Radio at the appropriate time and click where they tell you to click.
