Basil Wolverton rendering of Mel Blanc

Trolling through the archives of showbiz periodical Variety, I came across this unique Basil Wolverton rendering of legendary voice actor Mel Blanc. Wolverton, as you can plainly see, was one of Robert Crumb's main inspirations. Mel Blanc was known for his prolific work on radio, notably The Jack Benny Program, and, of course, as the voice of most Looney Tunes characters.

No one gives a shit about Hollywood Kliph. America's poor and we don't need that garbage anymore.

Right comrade Vintex, the masses have been distracted by Basil Wolverton and Mel Blanc --- and the even more deadly Thurl Ravenscroft, Don Martin --- and Hans Conried, can't forget him! --- far, far too long.

The day of reckoning has arrived, and your brave keyboard strokes have shown us a veritable hedge-trimmer of hegemony. Let a new era of totally pretentious humorlessness free us all. Praise the Load.

Are you kidding? In times like these, Vintex, we need Hollywood Now, More Than Ever!
