Hey, everyone. Apologies for the lack of posts this week. Work's been kind of hectic recently, but I'm hopeful I'll return to a semi-normal schedule soon. At the very least, you can expect a review of Greg Ehrbar's new Hanna-Barbera book next week (spoiler alert: it is quite good!). September will also be a big month for this blog, as I plan on celebrating the anniversary of a particular show, but I'll discuss that more near the end of the month.
Anywho, this next week will mark what would've been Alan Reed's 117th birthday, the man who gave life to Fred Flintstone. I'll have more to say about him when that day comes, but until then, enjoy this 1962 TV pilot called Strictly for Laffs. The idea behind this series was simple. It's a roundtable of comedians discussing life, and their work, and having a laugh in the process. The pilot also happens to have not one, but two, classic animation voice actors. Alan Reed obviously makes an appearance, and later on, we see the man of a thousand voices himself, Mel Blanc. Unsurprisingly, their animated counterparts become a topic of conversation for both actors.
