I've certainly never heard that Daws animated anything. "200 cartoons?" I guess if you counted all the episodes of RUFF & REDDY and the first season of HUCKLEBERRY HOUND, you might come close, possibly with a little rounding up--and of course, QUICK DRAW McGRAW might have been in production by then, and the total may have been higher than that, actually. Articles like these used to run in the TV sections of Sunday papers (back in the days when those were needed to know when stuff was on) with color illustrations in the days when color promotional art wasn't very usual, so they were a big deal to kids like me who loved cartoons. Still, it's interesting that the contributions of the main voices of Hanna-Barbera seem to have been so well-recognized that I knew them at age seven because of the first Colpix soundtrack albums with Daws and Don's pictures on the back. Perhaps "illustrated radio" made this imperative; Daws and Don talked a WHOLE lot more in an H-B cartoon than Mel Blanc had to in most Warner cartoons. It was impossible to not notice the voice artists. As a seven-year-old, of course, I was completely unaware of any of the voices being imitations, even if that fact was pointed out on the bios on the back of those albums, being too young to have seen THE HONEYMOONERS, or to have heard Andy Griffith's records or to have heard any radio shows, but I seriously doubt it would've mattered to me at all.<br />Mike Tiefenbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102752875776872720noreply@blogger.com
