Why doesn’t he give you a tribute guest shot on Family Guy? Imagine the fun of you meeting Brian! And, you’d probably have a larger vocabulary than Peter! <br /><br />Or, maybe after all those years of Jay Ward characters, General Mills could use you to endorse a new launch of one of its fruity cereals… “Old Dog – New TRIX”! <br /><br />Aw, just keep blogging! It’s what you do best! And I’m grateful for it!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-10318647419809682082010-10-29T09:51:01.896-07:002010-10-29T09:51:01.896-07:00Happy Birthday, Yowp!

I did a double-take at first as I didn't think there was a Daws Butler Jr. Then I realized it was Earl Kress using a 'nom de plum" to quote a favorite Yogi short. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-20297911834150125532010-10-29T07:53:10.726-07:002010-10-29T07:53:10.726-07:00Of course----regardless of the rights issue, look ...Of course----regardless of the rights issue, look what H-B characters are called iconic-the Scooby format and shows - "Pebbles and Bamm Bamm" that used elements-the mascot and groups of 70s teens, then next season rock tunes, the toned down flower power imagey---really has hit with many younger Gen Y kids. Fortunately though,..Gen X and Baby Boomers know better....look at Mystery Science Thetare [now there's a mystery show we need] and their joking about what they know is garbage, though Scooby isn't on the menu.Also, the 1990s fanzineBea and Eff, known for juxtaposing odd elements of pop culture togteher to make weird stories about older cartoons, and making silly games like "Animation convention-what's wrong with this picutr" seemed to make fun of these old shows but then they INTERVIEW CASEY KASEM later..[Publ;isher Tim Stocoack published that.] However some true cartoons fans were behind Bea and Eff, out of print for years. But anyway, that's the power of the 70s "subteen girls hairstyle" that may have kept Scooby alive--in short even if the Capitol Hi Q music HAD been used Scoob would still be preferred, and after all even the early shows Hoyt Curtin scored incue Johnny Quest and Top Cat and those aren't the icons that Scooby is. <br /><br /><br />In a nutshell, that late 60s-70s Saturday morning "bubblegum" [iotself actually a very enjoyable music style outside this shameless cartoons] and hairstyle of the eras may have attrack modern kids and thus kept these later, inferioir shows like Scooby-Doo supreme.'<br /><br />Just my observation, that's all.

If you click on <a href="http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showpost.php?p=179466&postcount=36" rel="nofollow">this post</a> at GAC, "Daws Butler, Jr." explains the problem with the music. In another one, he reveals Cinemusic, which owns the Shaindlin cues from the Langlois library, wanted more than Warners was willing to pay.<br /><br />This is why we won't see Quick Draw DVDs; for the first two seasons of cartoons, anyway.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-21985711881721387542010-10-28T08:47:14.141-07:002010-10-28T08:47:14.141-07:00Cute post, Yowp!

I thought all of the music issues had been cleared up since the old Hucks and Yogi's have been released in Huck Volume 1??

For want of a better way of putting it, he drew Yogi and Snooper like they were missing their upper teeth and gave them stretched necks. He certainly was distinctive.<br /><br />Chris, the bulldog was abruptly canned when Mugger came along and agreed to do his schtick for less. If cartoon characters had belonged to Local 839, it never would have happened. <br /><br />Don Messick and Daws Butler were true masters and these cartoons provide a free course on how to use your voice. Don's “bark bark” dog sounds different than Yowp; he used two different pitches. More remarkably, Astro and Scooby share the same speech impediment, but you won’t mistake one for the other. He used a different register and inflections.<br />I love Daws’ “snarl” dialogue in ‘Nottingham and Yeggs’; I think that's where he first used it.<br /><br />Martin, bon anniversaire. I’ve taken down the Thad picture because Mark sent me a copy of the actual sheet again. Thad’s photo of him and Mark and the sheet (which is larger than I thought) was wonderfully considerate considering Thad is not a fan of these cartoons and I only know him from chatting with him on-line for a number of years. It’s nice he thought enough of me to have it done.<br /><br />I appreciate Mark for all kinds of things, not the least of which is a commentary on one of the Warners DVDs about Anatole Kirsanoff, who I don’t believe was ever credited on a Warners cartoon, and for his wonderful tale of Tex and Screwy Squirrel in the Avery documentary you can find on YouTube. The documentary should be required viewing for any cartoon fan. It has Mike Lah and Ed Love in it, too.<br /><br />Mark and a lot of other people, far more expert on these cartoons and animation in general than I, have unexpectedly found their way here and added their invaluable insight and facts. That’s a benefit to us all.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-52163646797350415902010-10-28T06:33:12.580-07:002010-10-28T06:33:12.580-07:00The Spanish dub of the three Yowp episodes as aire...The Spanish dub of the three Yowp episodes as aired on Boomerang SAP substitutes a 'realistic' dog bark- or at least a 'realistic' dog bark as performed by a voice actor. That immediately sucks a lot of the personality out of Yowp.<br /><br />Don Messick had an endearing way of having dogs literally SAY "Bark-bark!" in a few of the early Huck episodes in which he's tormented by a 'real' dog- or in your case, "Yowp". <br /><br />Daws Butler would revive this idea in 1972's ROMAN HOLIDAYS. He used his famous Bert Lahr imitation for Brutus the Lion. But instead of making him fully articulate a la Snagglepuss, Daws had him utter the words "Roar" and "Snarl" to amusing effect.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-8535839015348861642010-10-27T11:48:55.866-07:002010-10-27T11:48:55.866-07:00Shame how small exposure Bill and Joe have to you ...Shame how small exposure Bill and Joe have to you Yowp. You did a memorable performance when you got the cute fox in "Foxy Hound Dog" and how you yelled is just sad because you having luck to do something other than say "Yowp!"<br /><br />This model sheet of you is gorgeous. Mark Kausler is enough brave to keep and preserve it! I remember the photo with him with Thad. They are real great gentlemans. Happy birthday Yowp!

One of your finest acting moments was in " Bear Face Bear ", where for 35 seconds, you go through a whole scope of emotions just by barking at the sheriff looking at you from a tree hole..Starting with Anger, then firm and resolved, to quizzical, to discouragement, to " Uh Oh!! " Now, that's acting. A performance that would have pleased The Bard. You can keep that whole bunch of today's self important, notice me, pack of A-Lister hyenas. Give me Yowp.
