  • Great cartoon

    Click here fast!

    I really shouldn’t do this, because I’m just linking to a page that changes the cartoon every day and doesn’t have an archive, so you won’t see the same cartoon if you’re not looking today…but I have to show you this one. Gary Brookins has a nice memorial to Captain Kangaroo.

    Maybe I can find a page online that has a permanent link to this cartoon. I looked for one but JWR appears to be the only site with the cartoon today.

  • Billy May Passed Away?

    Posted on January 26th, 2004 thehutch No comments

    On my three hour drive back from my parents’ house tonight, I listened to the last six episodes of the Stan Freberg Show on CD. I haven’t dug these out in a while, so I was able to enjoy a number of skits and songs that had blessedly passed from my pop culture steel-trap memory. (You know, that annoying memory that lets one recite Toonces the Driving Cat skits word for word but won’t work as well at retaining important things like phone numbers.)

    About two hours ago, I mused that it would be really cool if Stan Freberg could get his third volume of The United States of America completed. Why not? Stan’s still around, and so is his music director Billy May, right?

    Then I get home and, in the course of reading Mark Evanier’s site (see post below), I read that Billy May has passed on, only two hours since I was wondering about that. What odd…oh, what’s the word…synchro-something…it’s 2:00 A.M., I’m not firing on all capacitors. Wait, do capacitors fire?
