The Bottom Ten Warner Bros. Cartoons
© Warner Bros.
Instead of listing his Top Ten animation expert Jerry Beck lists his least favorite.
Of the over 1000 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts – I honestly could find something of value in 990 of them. Yes, even the ones pre-1936 and the ones post-1964.
That said, there are a handful I could do without. For various reasons, I don’t like them. They could burn in a nitrate fire and… well, maybe I wouldn’t go that far.
Jerry Beck’s list of lousy cartoons from Warner Bros.
This is NOT Bill Finger!
Mark Evanier is right. Do a Google Images search for Bill Finger and that Bob Kanigher photo is the one that appears more than any other.
If you have a website that has anything to do with comic books or Batman or which just gets a lot of hits from the “spiders” that crawl the web collecting images for search engines, please copy the image below and post it on your site. Do not change the name of it.
Put it up and if enough folks do this, it will be seen among the first images when someone searches for a photo of Bill Finger, the most neglected man in comics. Thank you.
For the record, This IS Bill Finger!
