Their names are synonymous with Saturday mornings and the laughter of children.  Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester the Cat.  Generations began their weekends by welcoming these comical characters into their homes and, as a result, they helped shape the culture that they entertained.  Porky Pig, Tweetie Pie, Foghorn Leghorn, the Road Runner.  The golden age of cartoons saw an increasing number of production companies spring up throughout Hollywood and would help revolutionize a television industry that was still in its fledgling years.  Barney Rubble, Mr. Spacely, Peppy la Pew, Speedy Gonzalez. These illustrated icons helped amass untold fame and wealth that is still being felt today, some 80+ years later.  Captain Caveman, Woody Woodpecker, Dino the Dinosaur, Marvin the Martian.

But there’s one name that you might not know and it’s imperative to understanding the true scope of this time period, as well as this entire genre of entertainment.  You see, without him, there would have been no stories… and these characters, well their voices, would never have been heard.

Hear their stories, and his, on this episode of The Missing Chapter.
