If there was any cartoon which was better than the rest, it had to be Looney tunes. Looney tunes has iconic characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Sylvester.
These were voiced by Joe Alaskey. Alaskey was battling with cancer and has passed away on February 3rd 2016.
Alaskey also voiced Grandpa Pickles from the Rugrats. He also voiced Tweety bird and did Yosemite Sam in a cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
He also won an Emmy for his role as Daffy Duck in Duck Dodgers a sci-fi comedy series.
A friend and colleague of Alaskey wrote about him in his blog praising his work ethic:
“I once watched Joe for a while as he recorded lines as Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester and Yosemite Sam for a G.P.S. It tooks days and thousands of lines for each…and after he finished as Sam, he couldn’t speak for almost a week.”
“The [voice] I liked best was when he sounded like Joe Alaskey. He had a long, long list of voices but that’s the one I will miss the most.”
