We loved those crazy cartoons as kids-and even more as adults once we caught the hidden jokes. Whether it was Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, or their friends, their catchphrases (“What’s up, Doc?” “You’re despicable!”) became part of our culture. The voices behind them-especially the incomparable Mel Blanc, “the man of a thousand voices”-brought the characters to life long before computers. How did they create it all, and how did Blanc keep the voices straight? For answers and plenty of laughs, join Harry Karp at the Myerberg Center to discover why these cartoons were never just for kids.n n No class 6/30
