Word comes that Chris Hayward, one of the orginial writers for "Rocky and Bullwinkle," has died at age 81.
Hayward contributed to one of the great cartoons, and great satires of our culture, ever produced. I've long held that everything I know about history and culture comes from old Bullwinkle cartoons.
One of the greats.
Read his obit here.
"Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
"Roar!!"
Sad news. R & B were a touch of sanity when I was at university ... for a sufficiently flexible defintion of "sanity."
And 2 of the great names for villains - Boris Badanov and Snidely Whiplash.
