One of the things in the Hardaway file is his C.V.; he was looking for a government job right about then, and it lists his career history up until that point. I believe that Bugs did get one credit for a story for Freleng at that time.EOCostellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068413130915640819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-26955802760087071362015-11-23T21:26:55.885-08:002015-11-23T21:26:55.885-08:00I recall contributing to the WBCC early on.

Anthony, the Dr. Phil of the '40s).<br /><br />And I remember the Harry Truman caricature in "Ant Pasted," though I think Hardaway had left WB long before then.rnigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370724366178429029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-87981921777528754092015-11-23T16:21:09.794-08:002015-11-23T16:21:09.794-08:00The advent of a lot of Keith Scott's scholarsh...The advent of a lot of Keith Scott's scholarship in voice acting has proven in particular to be a resource. I don't have any wiki, myself -- the WBCC was last updated, I think, something like 15 years ago plus -- but I'm sure that a lot of folks have absorbed some of the knowledge that was in the WBCC.<br /><br />I think the one bit of truly startling original research I did back in the days when I wrote extensively on WB cartoon history was finding out that Harry Truman had been Bugs Hardaway's commanding officer in World War I, and the two remained friends for decades afterward. There's a whole file on Hardaway at the Truman Presidential Library in Independence, MO.EOCostellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068413130915640819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-46644287636594254862015-11-23T11:31:23.044-08:002015-11-23T11:31:23.044-08:00It was a great resource, Eric, and is still useful...It was a great resource, Eric, and is still useful as you can see.<br />And I'd take it over those Wikis any day, even though a few entries are outdated thanks to new things that have been learned in the last dozen or so years.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-76057443233306398032015-11-23T10:59:02.196-08:002015-11-23T10:59:02.196-08:00Also, the 4-F joke in "Holiday For Shoestring...Also, the 4-F joke in "Holiday For Shoestrings" actually goes the full reference. 4-F meant rejected for service, and in many instances it was due to 'flat feet' syndrome (soldiers with this affliction would not be able to march for long distances without developing stress fractures of the metatarsil). Daffy also refers that "even the Army don't want me" in "A Coy Decoy" by describing one of his symptoms as "flat feet".Larry Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03189215786770308247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-16339926294125678762015-11-23T08:44:22.210-08:002015-11-23T08:44:22.210-08:00I'm delighted to see someone remembers my work...I'm delighted to see someone remembers my work. <br /><br />The WBCC was put together in a pre-Wiki/wikia era.
