Goodbye Chuck

Chuck Jones passed away yesterday of congestive heart failure. For my generation, and many others, Chuck Jones was the guy responsible for me learning about cartoon physics. The Road Runner & WIle E Coyote episodes were always my favorites of his. I would watch the Bugs Bunny & Road Runner show just for the chance to see that chases. I still shriek with laughter when I watch it.

My two favorite Chuck Jones productions though, were two Hubie and Gertie cartoons: Mouse Wreckers, and Cheese Chasers. I think they are the funniest things I've ever seen (I need to see if they are on DVD at all).

Thanks Chuck. You will be missed.
