Poll question: Cartoon Voices, Take II

1. Daws Butler got my vote.

But June Foray and of course Mel Blanc qualify too.

8. I voted for Mel Blanc, but June Foray and Harry Shearer are good picks

Everyone on "The Simpsons" is good, especially some of the regular guests-Kelsey Grammer as Sideshow Bob; the late, great Phil Hartman as Lionel Hutz, Troy McClure and the guy who sells the town the monorail.

2. Mel Blanc was in serious car crash in 1961

and lay in a coma for many months. During those months, family and doctors could not get Mel himself to respond...but they could talk to Bugs and some of the other characters he did, because that part of his brain still worked.

5. Mel Blanc didn't voice Elmer Fudd -

not the version we all think of, at least -

A voice actor named Arthur Q. Bryan was the voice of Elmer. Blanc took over the voice for only a year or so after Bryan died.

Carry on -

9. Well, thank you!

I thought Mel voiced the original Elmer. Sorry to give credit where it wasn't due.

6. How could you forget Casey Kasem?!?!?

Shaggy, and others?

7. Shaggy was also voiced by Micky Dolenz of the Monkees -

when Casey would take occasional time off.
