Our Gene Deitch memorial episode is coming Monday, and I'm working on getting the first Spinach Skrewtny to you guys next week. I've got lots of irons in the fire (one particularly huge project coming in the summer), but here's a snippet of one.

Steve Stanchfield over at Thunderbean is assembling the extras for a Blu-Ray of public domain Popeye cartoons and is having me help. Part of that entails listening through Popeye fan/historian Lenny Kohl's interviews (mostly by phone) with the Fleischer and Famous crew and making the most coherent edits of them. This little bit from actor Jackson Beck was so priceless and has been a part of my classic cartoonspeak ever since I heard it many years ago, and Steve has given me permission to share it. Enjoy.

Really enjoyed your episode on Gene Deitch. I was a bit surprised that you didn't mention The Juggler Of Our Lady as one of his more successful Terrytoons. I'm not keen on the Christian themes but it's a faithful adaptation of R. O. Blechman's style (though the tiny characters doesn't register as well on a small screen - would be great to see it on a big screen in cinemascope). I also dislike the dreariness (not to mention the misogyny) of the John Doormat cartoons, although according to Deitch, the concept for the series actually predated his arrival at the studio. There's a couple of weird 'transitional' Terrytoons which were written and animated before Deitch took over, but finished with UPA style backgrounds. I don’t know if there are any with Mighty Mouse or Heckle & Jeckle but there this one ‘starring’ Dimwit that’s also a blatant Goofy/George Geef rip off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eftPoJ4qYw Incidentally, is the voice actor Jackson Beck the same person who is credited as narrating Woody Allen’s Take the Money and Run or is this yet another IMDB error?

Thanks for the compliment! "Juggler" is one we emphatically don't care for (I've at least seen it in scope). I do believe Gene had to put quite a few through production that started before his arrival, but you can't blame the old guys for the dreary execution when it was Gene and his crony (later enemy) Jules Feiffer calling the shots.
