Content

This has been a while brewing... One of our upcoming episodes will be on the subject of Jay Ward and all his animated friends with special guests Keith Scott and Darrell Van Citters. Both are published authors and expert historians on the subject (between both of their books, you'll know everything you need to know about moose and squirrel), and this will assuredly be another colossal, definitive podcast. If you have a question or two, please leave a comment and please stick to the topic of Jay Ward TV cartoons. Thanks all.

What about Crusader Rabbit, which was the progenitor of Rocky and Friends? (Rocky & Bulwinkle)

Who were the artists and designers behind the first and second episodes of Rocky and Bulwinkle?? Bill Hurtz and Lew Keller??

Do you guys ever wonder how much better/worse the Jay Ward cartoons would’ve been, if the design work and draftsmanship were stronger, and the characters had some appeal to their looks? This is where I feel Hanna-Barbera had the upper hand over the Ward cartoons, though I love both studios equally.

Was there ever a rivalry between the Jay Ward studio and Hanna-Barbera? Was it ever deeper than Jay Ward and Bill Scott badmouthing Flinstones and Bill and Joe somehow taking offense to that statement?

I understand Jay Ward worked on his own version of Winnie the Pooh (c. 1959-1960) as a feature-length film before Disney got ahold of the rights. Does any of the artwork exist? I'd love to see Ward's take on the characters.

I know Jay Ward was very much a self-promoter - the "Moosylvania" tour leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis comes to mind - were there any additional stories/incidents from beyond the shows?

Joe Siracusa (who is still alive to my knowledge) did a lot of important sound design for the Jay Ward studio. Is there any additional information about his work for them or about Siracusa in general?

If I'm not too late I have a pretty obscure question. The IAD credits John McLeish for story on a Jay Ward Fractured Fairytale and a Aesop and Son short. Is this really the same McLeish (who was legally named John Ployardt after 1945) who is probably best known for being the narrator of the Goofy 'how to' cartoons? I suspect it's erroneous but McLeish/Ployardt had such an oddball career and life both in and outside animation it doesn't seem implausible.

Hey, I’ve just found some concept art for the first, good Crusader Rabbit, done by the late Grim Natwick. You wanna see?
