MEL BLANC
Color publicity photograph of Mel Blanc seated at his desk surrounded
by many of the cartoon characters whose voices he created.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "Hi Michael/Mel
Blanc/5-7-79". Color, 8x10. Blanc is seated at his desk surrounded by many
of the cartoon characters for whom he created distinctive voices, including Bugs
Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Taz, Wile E. Coyote, Road
Runner and Barney Rubble. 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. Fine condition.
