MEL BLANC
Mel Blanc writes that he is happy he has fans in Ireland.
Autograph Letter Signed: "Mel Blanc", 1p, 7¼x10½. No place,
1983 February 21. On his personal "Mel Blanc" stationery with a pale
green head of Bugs Bunny in the center. To Tom. In full: "Thanks
for your letter. Gosh - you seem to know more about me than I do. Happy
to hear that I have such wonderful 'Fans' in Ireland. I'm enclosing a picture
for you and one for Frances [not present]. They show a few of the
characters whose voices I created." In 1937, Mel Blanc (1908-1989) was hired to provide the voice for a drunken bull in the
Warner Bros. Looney Tune, Picador Porky. He also did the voice of
Porky ("Th-th-th-that's all, Folks") Pig, previously voiced by a genuine
stammerer who knew nothing about comic timing. Before long, Blanc created the
voice of Daffy Duck, whose lisping cadence was inspired by Warner Bros.
cartoon boss Leon Schlesinger. In 1940, Blanc created the insouciant,
carrot-chopping Bugs Bunny. Ironically, Blanc was allergic to carrots. He
freelanced with MGM and Walter Lantz animation firms, creating the Woody
Woodpecker's laugh for Lantz. Blanc signed to work exclusively at Warners in
the early 1940s. Voices he created include Sylvester, Tweety Pie, Foghorn
Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, Pepe Le Pew and Yosemite Sam. Creased at upper
edge, touching date. Lightly creased at lower right blank corner. Fine
condition.
