Yowp here.
I’m not a Christmas celebrant, but some of you reading are, either of the religious or secular versions, so I’m taking this time to thank you for stopping by this blog. I hope it’s been entertaining and/or informative. We will be on indefinite hiatus again soon.
The number of readers here is quite small but generally dedicated, and helpful if I get something wrong in one of the posts.
Below is a little Christmas song by one of the fine voice actors of the Golden Age, Mae Questel, from a 1937 Decca recording.
Another great cartoon actor was Daws Butler. We’ve talked about the “Talking Komics” he made with Marian Richman. Here are two sides of one involving Christmas, called “Sleepy Santa.” Radio veteran Ray Erlenborn provides the sound effects and the music is by Bob Mitchell. Bob Bellem wrote the story and lyrics. Marian Richman may be best known as Ralph Phillips’ mother, and she worked at UPA in addition to Warner Bros. We wrote about her in this post.
As before, you'll be missed. And I bet your readership is larger (and more appreciative) than you suspect.
ReplyDeleteYowp, Have always enjoyed your blogs. Learn something new all the time. Even if I had posted or not, a day hasn’t gone by that I haven’t stopped by “ Yowp “, or “ tralfaz “ to see what’s going on, and if there is a new post. Agree with Hans Christian Brando, that the group may be bigger than suspected. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for about 10 yrs and have always enjoyed it. We both love Jack Benny and early Hanna-Barbera, among other pop culture touchstones. This will probably post as "Anonymous" but it's Dave Chavers speaking. Thanks, Yowp!
