    Many of the members of the TTTP are posting their thoughts at http://forums.toonzone.net/showthrea...5&pagenumber=1

    Jerry was kind enough to notify us there as soon as he heard the news. This is indeed a very sad day for all animation fans.

    Jock Jones...

    Another great man has passed on...He and his team may have made more people laugh than anyone. .
    “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it...Returning violence for violence multiples violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. ” –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

    ...... Peace, Faith, Love, and Hope.

    I don't think that they were counting on Chuck for either of those. I kind of doubt that Chuck would've even gone near LT Babies. Some people wondered if he would be involved in Duck Dodgers, but now it's clear he won't be.

    People are still wondering what will happen to his online Timberwolf cartoons.

    A great animation figure leaves. But it isn't a sad day--rather, if you look at all he's accomplished, the man has done A LOT and one couldn't ask for a more satisfying resume. His name will live on. If I manage to accomplish even a quarter of what he did in my life, I'd still be very satisfied. Such is the greatness and longevity of his works...

    Cartoon Network has already put up memorial cartoons. Very tasteful, very well done.

    Truly a great, he will truly be missed.

    Indeed, there were few people who had more of an influence on animation in general than Chuck. He'll always be remembered.

    I believe they will show the episodes that were finished and finishe the episodes that were in the script stage and do a memorial episode which i believe will be the last episode. Rip Chuck Jones

    Godspeed, Chuck... May your ideas never dry up and may your ink flow freely in the Great Beyond.



    *sniff*
    My origins have been clouded in mystery... some say that I was once a man, known as Hamato Yoshi. Another tale states that I was once merely a humble pet rat of a man named Hamato Yoshi. For the record allow me to state that both are true... and yet, neither is true. Such is the way of Ninjitsu.

    Words can not express how truly great this man was! He created a standard for all great cartoons to aspire to. My parents grew up with his cartoons, and so did I. The world will surely miss him.
