The tour of legendary cartoonists that have passed on continues with Chuck Jones. Chuck Jones is perhaps one of the greatest animators of our time, even if you don't know who he is, more than likely you've seen his work. Refreshing memories is pretty easy, considering that he created some of the more memorable characters in the Warner Brothers Studios stable. The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote series, the amorous Pepe Le Pew, and Marvin the Martian are just a few of the many, many characters he was responsible for giving life. Many animators still cite him as a great influence on their work. His absurd humor, storytelling style, and techniques are still prevalent in modern animation today, and the looks of Warner Brothers characters created after his tenure still bear his artistic stamp. Not only can I name him as an important figure in animation, but I also happen to share a birthday with him, cool. He died February 22, 2002.
