I interviewed CJ on stage at the National Film Theatre in London many years ago and had a great time, although he was a slightly tricky bird and gave me a run for money that would have done credit to the Roadrunner!!Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-80823226758918930072008-01-29T15:36:00.000-08:002008-01-29T15:36:00.000-08:00yayyayMarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142314291470824200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-50419433480169596812008-01-29T12:53:00.000-08:002008-01-29T12:53:00.000-08:00Loved reading the post!

I just seen an interview of him on drawn.<BR/><BR/>He Pete, are you gonna do some more lessons on you're blog?

Jones", I'm biased too, but only slightly.<BR/><BR/>I think everyone is starting to tie themselves into knots over this though. Of course his later work isn't as good as the best of it. He was declining while he was still at Warners in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Come on, put on <I>High Note, Nelly's Folly, Hare-Breadth Hurry,</I> or <I>Transylvania 6-5000</I> and look me in the eye and say "Chuck isn't pretentious, he's still got it!"<BR/><BR/>The later drawings aren't very good, but they're not awful either. I have a strange affinity for them. Friz Freleng pointed out to a friend of mine, "Look at how Chuck is drawing Bugs now! He has no neck!"<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you posted that caricature too Pete! I hope to see more of Termite Terrace displayed! (And I'm still waitin' to see them Marilyn and Audrey caricatures too!)Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-50980872540892563032008-01-28T18:48:00.000-08:002008-01-28T18:48:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-26874049200509353052008-01-28T08:21:00.000-08:002008-01-28T08:21:00.000-08:00Well said, Pete.

It's true Chuck became a bit of a blowhard in his later years, but what the hey - - he had earned the right to do whatever he wanted.<BR/><BR/>As a young animation artist, having an "audience" with Mr. Jones was a rare opportunity. Plus, I was lucky enough to visit the Warner Bros. cartoon unit when these old guys were in their prime.<BR/><BR/>Finally, it was cool to be in a movie theater back in the fifties, and know that most of the audience recognized his name.Floyd Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635960964922892254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-80110357586705141892008-01-27T19:38:00.000-08:002008-01-27T19:38:00.000-08:00Awesome caricature, and a very thoughtful post. He...Awesome caricature, and a very thoughtful post. He wasn't at the top of his game after they left Warners, but hey, none of the other directors were either. Compare Clampett in 1942 and then Clampett in 1962. "Beany and Cecil" was not as funny as his Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck cartoons. Great stuff. You're right that those later drawings are still fine Chuck Jones drawings.Eric Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872046921674512158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-63712377702317535192008-01-27T04:59:00.000-08:002008-01-27T04:59:00.000-08:00I love the caricature Pete!
