Chuck Jones: RIP

Be upstanding and pay your respects for the life of cartooning legend Chuck Jones, who died at his home on Friday aged 89.

Chuck was one of the greatest influences on animation in our time(well not MY time but he's definately had a knock on effect). You guys love Futurama right? well I'm sure along the way Mr Jones has influenced the staff on our favourite show. Many consider him to be the biggest influence since Walt Disney and his projects and character creations certainly reflect it. Among his many awards and toons, he created Roadrunner, Wile E. Coyote, Michigan J. Frog, Pepe Le Pew and many others as well as directing many productions involving nearly all the other WB characters like Daffy Duck & Bugs Bunny.

I wasn't alive when he was making cartoons but i became a really huge fan through the reruns. My sister went to meet him at a gallery and said nothing but nice words about him. I hate to see great influences like him go. My condolences go to his family. Thanks Chuck.
