To the best of my knowledge, the oldest living American voice actor now is Larry Storch (97), whose credentials include Out of the Inkwell ('60s revival), Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales, The Batman/Superman Hour, the Seven Arts era of Warner Bros. Cartoons, and Groovie Goolies. His latest voiceover work was in the late '80s, w/ Foofur, Garfield and Friends and an unaired Beetle Bailey special.
R.I.P. LyricWiki, which closed down today.
I made use of it one last time (for a lot of stuff!) late last night, as it was then that I discovered it was about to shut down.
After nearly a year, The Flintstones must still be doing well for MeTV. Lately the station has been sponsored in part by Pebbles cereal; they even air one of the contemporary commercials for it sometimes.
Did you know that there was an Empire Carpet commercial featuring [Son of] Svengoolie (among other roles by Rich Koz)?
R.I.P. Anatoliy Prokhorov, co-founder of the Russian animation studio Pilot, which worked on Mike, Lu & Og. He also produced Kikoriki.
Belated R.I.P. to Hal Singer, bandleader, saxophone player and Tulsa race massacre survivor.
This is interesting:
A February 19, 1992 article from The New York Times reported the launch of a cartoon channel from Turner. It was written by NYT regular Bill Carter.
A couple years later, Carter was one of two guests on the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episode "CHiPs", alongside talk show host Joe Franklin. It was that same year that Carter got The Late Shift published.
Marge Simpson is trending on Twitter. I won't say why, though.
Johnny Bravo (from Cartoon Network, not The Brady Bunch) is trending on Twitter, thanks to someone who sort of resembles him.
Can we talk about how a French home video company had an opening logo consisting of an animated Groucho Marx set to disco music? I especially like the Fender Rhodes solo during the second half, even if it's just the warning message.
R.I.P. Hugh Downs
R.I.P. William S. Sessions, FBI director associated with the phrase "Winners Don't Use Drugs", which was used in arcade games released in the U.S. from 1989 to 2000.

Alternative rock pioneers Lou Reed, David Bowie and Iggy Pop have some interesting connections with their animation credentials:
Reed and Pop both provided the singing voice of Mok in Rock & Rule, while Arthur and the Invisibles had Bowie as the voice of Emperor Maltazard, with Reed taking over the character for the two sequels; Pop also voiced Prince Darkos in the third film, replacing Jason Bateman from the first.
R.I.P. Eddie Cooley, co-writer of the Little Willie John/Peggy Lee song "Fever"; I recently heard a cover version by Joe Sample and Lalah Hathaway.
R.I.P. Jymie Merritt, bassist for Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers during the late '50s and early '60s, as well as a pioneer of the electric bass.
R.I.P. Tomi DePaola, author and illustrator from my home state, best known for children's books such as Strega Nona.
@RandomMe Have you ever heard of "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience? If not, I think you may want to check it out when you have the time (emphasis on "when you have the time" because it's over 13 minutes long). -
