Here’s the reminder: yours truly, Jerry Beck, will appear on a live Internet radio chat today at 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific. I will be joined by animation historian-voice actor Keith Scott and pop-culture addict/host Stuart Shostack on Stu’s Show, which can be heard on Shokus Internet Radio. Together Stu, Keith and I will discuss classic cartoons, animation dvds, cartoon voice acting, Jay Ward, Popeye, and anything you want (call in toll-free!). Stu’s Show is only available to hear via live streaming audio during broadcast; it’s not archived for downloading later. So if you want to hear the two hour show, you’ll have to tune in today at 4pm Pacific Time (7pm Eastern). Click here and enjoy!

Update: The show I recorded live today will be rebroadcast at 7pm EST/4pm PST, each day for the next seven days. Tune in!

Yours truly, Brewmaster Jerry Beck, will appear on a live Internet radio chat Wednesday afternoon (4/25) at 4pm. I will be joined by animation historian-voice actor Keith Scott (pictured above) and pop-culture addict/host Stuart Shostack on Stu’s Show, which is broadcast on Shokus Internet Radio. Together Stu, Keith and I will discuss classic cartoons, animation dvds, cartoon voice acting, Jay Ward, Popeye, and anything you want (toll-free phone participation is encouraged).

Australian Keith Scott is, of course, the author of The Moose That Roared, the definitive history of the Jay Ward studio—and he’s a popular cartoon voice actor (Bullwinkle, George of the Jungle, etc.). Stu’s Show is only available via streaming audio during broadcast (and several subsequent reruns); it’s not archived for downloading later. So if you want to hear the two hour show live, you’ll have to tune in on Wednesday at 4pm Pacific Time (7pm Eastern). So mark you calendar now (but in case you forget, I’ll remind you again on Wednesday).

3400 Cahuenga Blvd. Thursday, 4.19.07, 2:40pm

I was driving south on Cahuenga this afternoon and snapped this pic from my moving car with my cell phone. The signage was just erected. It’s official: The former Hanna-Barbera Studio is now an LA Fitness location.

Very depressing.

This is a fairly amusing promo for Cartoon Network Latin America. It was accepted into this year’s Cannes Lions advertising festival.

Directors: Daniel Xavier and Manoela Muraro
Production studio: Soapbox Studios
Post-production: Magick Lantern.

And here is a behind-the-scenes video showing digital post work by Magick Lantern’s Adam Plouff and Jesenko Fazlagic.

An article in today’s NY Daily News talks about how the owners of Felix the Cat, Felix the Cat Productions, are suing the California Clock Co., the company that manufactures the Kit-Cat Klock. The article doesn’t explain why the owners of Felix have suddenly decided to sue now when the clock has been continuously manufactured for the past seventy years. I’m no lawyer, but perhaps it would help the California Clock Co.’s case if their HTML code didn’t proclaim them as the home of the “The Authentic Original Felix Clock!”

“Woody Woodpecker” is a new track from electro-experimental musician Dan Deacon. Deacon is on tour through May, when his new album, Spiderman of the Rings, will be released. Listening to Deacon is relatively tame compared to watching him perform live, like the video below.

A 1991 bit from Saturday Night Live with Jeremy Irons.

As a follow-up to yesterday’s image of Mickey Mouse Liver Paste, Brew reader Michael Levine sent in this picture of Popeye Paté from Spain.
