Friz and John

Anyone who has visited John K.'s blog knows that he is not too fond of Friz Freleng's work at all. If Mr. K. did indeed conduct an interview with Mr. Freleng I imagine that it would look something like this:
(That's Eddie Fitzgerald laughing on the left by the way along with Friz in the middle and of course John on the right). Those of you reading this who don't know who Friz Freleng is, "google" him immediately after visiting my blog. You won't be disappointed. Everyone else, feel free to express an opinion of either Friz Freleng, John K. or Eddie Fitzgerald in the comments section.

  1. That Ren looks like if John Dilworth drew him.

  2. It seems to me that John thinks Freleng is not all that great when compared to Clampett and Chuck Jones, but I bet he would agree to the statement that he was still miles away from most current cartoons.

  3. Hi, David.

    I'm one of your sister's friends that drops by to visit your blog. I'm sure you're already aware of it, but I wanted to mention http://www.animationarchive.org/ just in case you hadn't checked it out. :)

  4. Hey Dave, I can't seem to post the information needed to update links. Blogger's being a pain in the butt so I'll post it on the SOS forum.

    Hope that helps and good luck with your site.

  5. Actually, don't worry about it. I figured it out myself (as you can see on the left).

  7. John just thinks Friz is a lame director. He's wrong, but there you go. I don't think he'd consider him "good" next to the current cartoon directors he dislikes...he just plain doesn't like his stuff. At ALL.
    The thing with JK is that when he expresses an opinion, it's not really open to debate. As far as he's concerned, he's thought it all out and it's a black & white deal on most artistic matters. He usually doesn't say: this is my opinion, take it for what it's worth, he says: THIS IS FACT. That's just his style of discourse.
