 | | Robert "Bob" Clampett (born 1913, died 1984) was an animator and puppeteer best known for his work on the Looney Tunes series of cartoons from Warner Bros and the television show Time for Beany. | | | Clampett, whose collection of drawings, films, and memorabilia from the golden days of Termite Terrace was legendary, provided nearly all of the behind-the-scenes drawings and home-movie footage for the film. | | | His cartoons grew increasingly violent, irreverent, and surreal, not beholden to even the faintest hint of real-world physics, and his characters are easily the rubberiest and wackiest of all the Warner directors'. |

| | Porky Pig Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography |
| | He was the first character created by the studio to draw audiences based on his star power, and the animators (particularly Bob Clampett) created many critically acclaimed shorts using the fat little pig. | | | Even after he was supplanted by later characters, Porky continued to be popular with moviegoers and, more importantly, the Warners directors, who recast him in numerous everyman and sidekick roles. | | | Clampett's Porky was an innocent traveler, taking in the wonders of the world -- and in Clampett's universe, the world is a very weird place indeed. |

| | MichaelBarrier.com -- Feedback: Frank Tashlin Interview |
| | It's too bad you edited out the "interval of general discussion about the reaction to the Clampett interview and about the growing interest in the Warner cartoons and their history." I come from the "other side" of the bench where the WB cartoons have already been highly praised/recognized. | | | It certainly seems from the interviews that you post (especially Tash's) that the directors never thought they were doing anything too important at the time of their creation, so I would be very interested to see how the public interest for these films changed over time...hearing an early '70s view of this would be interesting. | | | It was wonderful to hear about the number of jobs he had, the people with whom he had relationships, how he connected with so many others in H'wood at the time. |
