My Panel schedule so far at DRAGON CON
Here is my tentative panel schedule for DRAGON CON in Atlanta at the end of the month! Did I mention 85,000 people attended last year? My discussion/podcast will be available soon. Each panel is attended by hundreds of people, so come early! I think this is the biggest convention I have ever done! I have only heard GREAT things about it, so I am looking forward to meeting everyone! #dragoncon #atlanta #rankinbass -------------------

Luno - Adventure By the Sea. My pal Danny just asked if Dick Beals did the voices in LUNO. No, that was my late friend Bob McFadden doing all of the voices. This was another cartoon I loved as a kid! I remember seeing it on Garfield Goose & Friends. .
My late friend Dick Beals was the voice of Speedy and so many other of my favorite characters! I am glad I recorded many of our interviews. He was even the Singing voice for The Little Drummer Boy and we featured him in our 20th Anniversary book! Late in life, Dickie sold one of the original Speedy figures to a friend of mine and we have been talking about taking him to a convention or two! #alkaseltzer #speedyalkaseltzer #advertisingcharacter

Abbott & Costello meet blu ray
I am glad they put out a good assortment!
I really like this film! They put it out in 1948, Right before Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein through Eagle-Lion Films!

This is my Burger King!
Allen Swift, my late friend, voiced Burger King! He also voiced many other famous characters including Felix Flankin and the monsters in Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party, Simon Barsinister on The Underdog show, Characters on The Howdy Doody Show and The Hostess Ho Ho King!
This is the Naperville, IL Burger King as it still appears today!
