I was having an awful morning, but now I am not. Hilarious and god I would love to be able to say some of those things in those wonderful voices to the people responsible for the baleful start to my day.

Thank you.

When I was a kid, it never would have occurred to me that Foghorn Leghorn or Yosemite Sam were voiced by a living, breathing human and, honestly, my brain is still kinda having trouble accepting that … so I’m just going to live with that.

I maintain that those are their own voices.

The weirdest thing about Mel Blanc is that like with Bugs, these were pretty close to his normal voice. Reruns of the Jack Benny Program are on these days, he was in about 1/4 of the episodes and I just do a double-take every time he opens his mouth. It's freaky.

That was very good and very instructive, rhizome, thank you so much.

Thanks for this, but it hurt my throat too much to watch it all the way through.

I immediately thought of The Carl Stalling Project, music from Looney Tunes (there are two volumes).
