Meet Dave Kirwan.
You might notice at the bottom of many of our ReFrederator blog posts the signature of Dave Kirwan, and you might also be wondering who said Dave Kirwan is.
Meet Dave, the lead programmer of the hit ReFrederator podcasts.
We first met Dave almost a decade ago as a Duluth, Minnesota based winner of a storyboard contest I was running at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. The next year he came by in person touring his almost-winner-son –16 year old Alex Kirwan (many of you know Alex as a talented cartoonist in his own right, and the art director of My Life as a Teenage Robot; Alex was too young to win, by the way, or it would have been a landslide)– around the studio. At the time, in addition to his skills as an award winning illustrator Dave co-owned an advertising agency and syndicated his strip “Martian Comicals.”
And of course, he’s a stone fan and complete expert on old films and cartoons. Hence, his generous role as our chief programmer and blogger.
Enjoy Dave’s selections, enjoy his blog entries, enjoy the cartoons, every day. Thanks bud.
–Fred

Hey Dave! It’s nice to put a face to the posts. Great job with the podcasts! Thanks for offering a future generation of animation directors an alternative to “Saved By The Bell”. Keep fighting the good fight!

Thanks for giving me easy access to some classics to study frame by frame on my computer! Thanks also for making a truly great cartoonist!
