Happy 66th to ROCKY & BULLWINKLE!
Jay Ward's animated Cold War satire debuted Nov 19, 1959 as ROCKY & HIS FRIENDS starring June Foray (Rocky/Natasha), Bill Scott (Bullwinkle/Mr. Peabody), Paul Frees (Boris), Walter Tetley (Sherman) and William Conrad + Edward Everett Horton (narrators).
Rocky and Bullwinkle is just one weapons grade dad joke after another.
man i wish i could write like this
June Foray and Bill Scott #BOTD the voices of Rocky and Bullwinkle.
"It was a special show for special people," said Scott, who also voiced Mr. Peabody and Dudley Do-Right and was the head writer and co-producer of the show (with Jay Ward).

THE WORLD LOST A REAL TREASURE WITH THE RECENT DEATH OF VOICE ARTIST JUNE FORAY
RiP
June Foray was something of a local phenomenon, having gotten her start creating voice characters at the public library in Springfield, Massachusetts. Strange to say, Richard C. Hoagland got his start quite nearby. Can't remember for certain but it may have been at the Springfield Science Museum. Springfield has a lot of culture and learning, brought together in one small neighborhood. June Foray was one of the bright gems to come out of it.

A 1966 commercial for CAP’N CRUNCH produced by Jay Ward (ROCKY & BULLWINKLE).
The iconic cereal mascot was created by Allan Burns (1935-2021), co-creator of THE MUNSTERS and MARY TYLER MOORE.
Burns was a writer for Jay Ward Productions, which did the ads for Quaker Oats from 1963-84.
"Peabody's Improbable History-Quentin Trembley"
For my good buddy Devon Baxter who made the astute observation that Quentin Trembley’s design looks a lot like a Jay Ward character straight out of “Peabody’s Improbable History.”
Now I can’t help but wonder what he would’ve sounded like if he was voiced by Paul Frees. (I keep picturing Ludwig Von Drake with a transatlantic accent.)

#RockyAndBullwinkle #Cartoon
"Rocky and His Friends" (re-titled "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends" for home video release) premiered November 19th, 1959.
It featured the voice talents of June Foray, Paul Frees, and William Conrad.
"It was the first time I can recall my parents watching a cartoon show over my shoulder and laughing in places I couldn't comprehend.’’ — Steven Spielberg
ROCKY & BULLWINKLE producer Jay Ward (1920-1989) was born on this date.
Tape of Jay Ward Productions music. Some of which are familiar if you watched "Rocky & Bullwinkle" cartoons, others curiosities which may never have been used on the air ("Guy Lombardo Meets Thelonious Monk"?!). Back in the 1960s, even "limited animation" cartoons had real musicians record music.

Bill Scott (1920-1985) was born on this date.
The voice of BULLWINKLE (and Mr. Peabody and Dudley Do-Right) was also the head writer and co-producer of the show (with Jay Ward).
"It was a special show for special people," he said in 1982.
"The Captain & the Goose"
What do Peter “Wrong-Way” Peachfuzz & the Choose Goose have in common?
They’re both played by one of my favorite voice actors (Paul Frees & Jeff Bennett respectively) doing hilarious Ed Wynn impressions.
Also I just really wanted to draw Choose Goose in a Jay Ward-ian style.

This one has come along really well. It's now in the cleanup stage.

Frankie is going around the house with a stuffed moose and squirrel in his mouth so I guess today he's Boris and I'm Natasha. #RockyAndBullwinkle
Still the best bit in the Rocky & Bullwinkle movie.

Along with Disney's animated features, Jay Ward's 'Fractured Fairy Tales' was my introduction to many classic stories. A segment of 'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show,' these hilarious cartoons retold various fairy tales with a modern and often satirical twist. #FairyTaleTuesday
