As you might have noticed, everyone once in a while I try to use our blogs and our postcards to highlight a cause larger than ourselves. Like this year’s elections.

There’s been a vicious rumor for the last couple of years that we’ve done a shorts show for Nickelodeon. We’re sending out this card to put that rumor to rest.
Seriously, it drives us as crazy as you that Nickelodeon has chosen not to air, or even set an airdate for, any of the Random! Cartoons shorts. And, because there’s a significant financial implication with the voice actors’ union, we’ve only been able to air one of the shorts on the web.
Everyone at Frederator is proud of all the creators and their cartoons, so we’re going to continue to promote the series whenever and wherever we can. This postcard is just the smallest way.

This card is the first in our series of “Original Cartoon Inspirations” (I’ve got no idea what the others will be or when we’ll publish them). Because on a few different levels Joseph Barbera & William Hanna fit that description to a tee.
Obviously, Eric and I started our cartoon careers at the Hanna-Barbera Studios, working alongside of Joe and Bill. There really wasn’t any better inspiration than that experience. To be able to have long, first hand, conversatons about making Tom & Jerry, or The Flintstones and The Jetsons gave us insight on everything from the creative process, to setting up the most successful production shop in history, to just the everyday interaction among the very talented and very human characters that populated the building over the decades. Sitting in a car or a plane with Bill for hours at a time, hearing him reminisce about going fishing every year with Tex Avery… there’s really nothing I can say to recreate those moments. And, of course, that’s on top of being glued to the TV set for days at a time when the original HB shows hit the air in the late 50s.
This photograph was taken in 1995 by Jeff Sedlik, as part of my ongoing effort to give Joe and Bill (and the whole studio) the respect they deserved. I knew Jeff as an LA based photographer primarily known for sittings with jazz musicians (I already owned Miles Davis and BB King portraits) and I think he did a fabulous job with the guys. I think the session was their last formal sitting.
PS: Eric scheduled this card because December 14th’s the 50th anniversary of the debut of the first Hanna-Barbera Productions TV series, The Ruff & Reddy Show. It’s worth commemorating.
