Who or what is a botsford twink

Thursday, May 30, Filling in the blancs yeah, I went there. When Melvin Jerome Blank left this world for a better one in I thought the above illustration was the finest commentary on the passing of one of the greatest voice artists in the history of show business. Simply put: if there had not been a Mel Blanc, there would be no Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck or any of the other gazillion funsters to come out of the Warner Bros. Anyway, I put together a short piece on Mr.

Advanced Search. Mel Blanc, who acted the voice of Bugs Bunny and over four hundred other characters, appeared in three thousand cartoons and animated film shorts. During his years in Hollywood, he had hit recordings on Capitol Records, performed on radio and television network programs, and had his own radio show. When he was six years old, the family moved to southwest Portland, where he attended Shattuck and Commerce grammar schools and Lincoln High School. When he was sixteen, he changed the spelling of his last name to Blanc when a high school teacher told him he would amount to nothing—a blank, like his name. In , KGW hired Blanc for its popular Hoot Owls program, where he wrote and performed on the late-night variety show. With an occasional musical romp on a horn, ukulele, or violin, he delivered humorous yarns, sometimes using dialects.

Now, I bow to no one in my admiration for Mel. My argument was that Jeff was slighting equally talented voice artists, and I ticked off the names of Paul Frees, June Foray, and Daws Butler for starters. I even argued that artists like Frees and Foray were much more versatile, capable of doing not only comedic but dramatic parts as well.
