At WonderCon, we had a huge turn-out to hear three gents who were around Hanna-Barbera in its early days talk about that studio. Tomorrow, you get a chance to hear one of the folks we had on that panel, Jerry Eisenberg, and his co-worker, Willie Ito. They're guests on Stu Shostak's fine interview show and I'm sure it'll be interesting. Jerry and Willie are two of the best artists to ever work in animation and they designed a lot of key H-B characters and had a lot to do with the "look and feel" of what came out of that building. You'll want to tune in and hear these fine gents.
Stu's Show can be heard live (almost) every Wednesday at the Stu's Show website and you can listen for free there. Webcasts start at 4 PM Pacific Time, 7 PM Eastern and other times in other climes. They run a minimum of two hours and sometimes go to three or beyond. Shortly after a show ends, it's available for downloading from the Archives on that site. Downloads are a paltry 99 cents each and you can get four for the price of three. The ones where I guest should be cheaper but they aren't.
