Chuck Jones Dead at 89

This really took me by surprise. Just the other day I posted some stuff regarding Chuck on the blog. You can see the post - which includes links to the current project he was working on for WB's site - Thomas Timberwolf - as well as his homepage, by clicking this link.

Chuck worked on such classic cartoons as Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner, as well as producing, animating and writing the screenplay for The Grinch That Stole Christmas television special.

He also created such memorable characters as Marvin the Martian. He was truly one of the great animators of all time and by all accounts, a nice guy as well.

He'll be sorely missed by the many fans of his work.
