Jerry Beck is described as "The author of a number of books on animation, including OUTLAW ANIMATION, he knows the history of cartooning back to front, has taught it, written about it, and practised it"...(he) "once watched hundreds of cartoons to co-write his book, LOONEY TUNES AND MERRIE MELODIES, a complete illustrated guide to the Warner Brothers cartoons."
For the qualifications they described above, Mr. Beck was recently interviewed by
ReadersVoice.com, where they finished with the following exchange:
- RV: What projects are you working on related to cartoon research or anything else at the moment?
JB: I'm working on the DVD release of Looney Tunes - and a new book, LOONEY TUNES: THE ULTIMATE VISUAL GUIDE, both of which will be out in November 2003.
We will go mark our calendars!
