Mel Blanc: True American Treasure

Mel Blanc isn't dead. The entire world won't let him die. Millions still enjoy Mel's unique voice and humor watching reruns of Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies cartoons, the Flintstones, The Jack Benny Program, and countless others – on television and streaming services...including right here on YouTube.

Mel's characters will live forever as well: Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Marvin the Martian, Foghorn Leghorn, Barney Rubble, Speedy Gonzales, Pepé Le Pew, Woody Woodpecker, Mr. Spacely (Jetsons), Tasmanian Devil, Tweety Bird, Sylvester, Dino (Flintstones), and countless (literally) others.

All told, Mel Blanc recorded over 1,000 characters.

This is the Mel Blanc story as told by Doc Doc Goose.
