See that guy at the drawing board? That's Jerry Eisenberg and this photo was taken some time in the sixties at the Hanna-Barbera Studios. Jerry was one of the key designers and layout artists at that studio during its Golden Era, working on everything from The Flintstones to The Jetsons. There aren't a lot of those guys around and Jerry was one of the best. He's also kind of a cartoon character himself…roughly a mashup of Peter Potamus, Magilla Gorilla and Penelope Pitstop.
Jerry is the very special guest today on Stu's Show, the must-hear pop culture talk program heard every darn Wednesday on Shokus Internet Radio. If you're interested in that era of animation — or in hearing a master cartoonist discuss his career — you'll want to tune in and hear your genial host Stu Shostak interview Jerry about his days at H-B…and they'll also be talking about the many things Jerry has done at other studios, including Ruby-Spears and Warner Brothers. Stu does his show live at 4 PM Pacific Time (7 PM Eastern) and it runs two hours that go by in no time. To listen in, go to the Shokus Internet Radio website at the appointed hour and click as directed. The show repeats throughout the week but you'll enjoy it more if you tune in while they're doing it. Trust me…and by "me," I mean me.
