I've been kinda busy today and much of my blogging time has been spent finishing a very long post which will appear here in the next day or three. It's about…well, you'll see what it's about once it's up on this page. It's one of those serious ones.
The other day here, we were looking at the Carnation Rabbits and I said that the voice of Pete the Rabbit only sounded to me like Lennie Weinrib in the last of the linked cartoons. I thought two other guys did Pete's voice, one being Pat Harrington. Well, animator and historian Mike Kazaleh tell me that's correct. Harrington's the first voice, Lennie is the last and the one in the middle is Gene Moss, who kids of my age who grew up in Los Angeles will always remember fondly as Dr. Von Shtick on the short-lived but brilliant local kids' show, Shrimpenstein. Moss also had a prolific voiceover career including Roger Ramjet and many years of supplying the voice of Smokey the Bear.
No Trump Dump today but I recommend you read Fred Kaplan about how our prez is screwing up relations with Germany, and Daniel Larison about how in his foreign policy has abandoned the premise of "America First." He's now pursuing "Trump and His Friends First," which is really the only thing that man has ever cared about anywhere at any time.
You know, I really like Kathy Griffin when she isn't trading Being Funny for Being Outrageous. Funny is sometimes outrageous. Outrageous is sometimes funny. Neither is always the other. Trump, for example, is outrageous without ever being funny…or right.
