>>Who does the voice nowadays?<<
Hmmm…I'm wondering if it might be Mel Blanc's son.
Leon Schlesinger is probably *still* rolling over in his grave!<g>

I don't know where ther rumor got started but Noel Blanc ( Mel's son) doesn't
do any of the Looney tunes voices.

Hmmm…Thanks for the info, Keith.
Actually, this wasn't a rumour, really. I forget exactly what I was watching at
the time, but I distinctly remember seeing Noel Blanc on TV some time ago doing
many of his father's voice characterizations. In fact, they related a wonderful
story in which Mel, in a coma from a very trumatic accident (helicopter or car
crash or some such?) was actually brought out of the coma by Noel speaking to
his father using various Looney Tune voices! They guessed that Noel, using the
voices so close to his father's life for so many years, might have reached his
sub-concious to bring him out of the deadly coma. Whatta story! I was blown
away as it made (for some reason) complete sense to me. Then they went on to
say that after Mel's death, Noel would carry on the tradition of the wonderful
LT character's voices.
Did I remember this right? Or is it just some sort of wishful thinking on my
part? Do you know who (how many) actually is doing these voices these days? As
these characters are very dear to me (I'm modeling a Bugs Bunny for a character
animation demo as we speak, thanks to Bones Pro) I'd love to hear anything you
could shed some light on.
Thanks very much,
