Via the Brew:
Yesterday, as a Christmas gift to its listeners, New York area radio station WFMU posted on its Beware of the Blog ( http://blog.wfmu.org/ ) a series of rare 1982 Mel Blanc anti-drug public service announcements. In them, Blanc speaks as himself and five of his most famous Warner Bros. cartoon characters. The PSAs were found by collector Drew Dobbs who says, “Thrill to Porky at a smoky, scary drug party and being offered animal tranquilizers, Yosemite searching for tough guys not softened up by hard drugs to duel with, and so much more.” They’re a hoot! Listen for yourself:

Acoustics are counter-intuitive. If one thing is certain about acoustics, it is that if anything seems obvious it is probably wrong.

Thanks for posting these, Mike. The Foghorn Leghorn is my favorite. Smile

It's so bizarre they would try to use cartoon characters to scare the "smack" out of ya. All I want to see is Daffy take a hit off a bong, have his head explode and then be back to normal in the next frame!
These are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

(I love how you can hear the cross talk of other recordings on Mel's lines. Something you don't get anymore in the world of digital recording.)
