I watched it, but didn't care for it that much. I really didn't like the new characters.

Only people that worked at DePatie-Freleng and stayed through Marvel like Art Leonardi.
I mostly liked interviewing the TV guys and the MAD guys.
You mean like Hanna-Barbera?
Probably Barbara Donatelli was the most helpful woman for my DePatie-Freleng book. There aren't many women involved in most of my books.
Where are you? I'm usually in Oregon or California. I will be in Connecticut in September.
No.
Kathy Garver is very friendly and will talk about everything. If memory serves, I believe I used a friend's interview with Kathy about Spider-Man.
I didn't interview her for the book, but I have met her quite a few times.
I did talk to Lisa a bit, but interviewed Art at much greater length.
No. Never interviewed her.
I tried, but he didn't answer, so I found quotes about Ant and the Aardvark.
Many times. I even signed books side by side with her at the San Diego Comic Con in 2010.
I like those specials, but don't love them, as they run a bit long. I think a 7 minute short is the perfect length for The Pink Panther, unless you have a really great story.
Probably that no one really wanted to make Bailey's Comets.
I'm trying to cover all of the companies from the 1950s-80s that haven't been covered by other books.
Next one to be published is on Plop!, a comic book. I'm also working on Disney directors and TV Cartoons That Time Forgot.
They were nice and totally loved and respected and missed their father.
Typically, I try to cover a person's entire career. Of course, I focus on the book subject at hand. I also try to ask questions that no one else has asked before.
I did not.
I tend to like it when I uncover some information that no one has ever reported before.
I interviewed Alison over the phone, not for the book, but for the Underdog DVD set. I met her face to face a couple of years later at an old time radio convention. Both times she was very cordial, gracious and funny. I've never met Stefan.
That's very sweet.
Not bad. I've had a few issues now and then, but everything seems to get resolved. Others have had major issues, but fortunately, not me.
That is actually a letter from Tread Covington. All of the founders were very helpful and cordial.
I hope so, too. Many do.
I have no idea. It's difficult for me to answer as they're not real.
I like Alice Mitchell from Dennis the Menace, Regina Rich from Richie Rich and Mona Best from The Beatles.
It's a great book. I interviewed Greg on my Fun Ideas Podcast about it.
I like that book. Very good coverage of the UPA studio.
