Happy Opening Day of baseball season! Here's my annual post with an unusual version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". This one is from Montreal, circa 1969, and it really swings! (ha)

Cancel that “if”

Thirty years ago, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast confused and confounded. The writers would write and rewrite. The editors would edit and re-edit. Working with the smart and funny folks at Cartoon was tons of work but also tons of joy. Thanks, Atlanta Magazine. Honored to be a part of it all.
What a fun read. It’s great have the Soda Fountain back!
