Looney Tunes
LOONEY TUNES Warner Bros. Cartoons: “Jumpin’ Jupiter” “Stupor Duck” “Speedy Gonzales” 1 I am certain most people have been exposed as a kid to the delightfully funny Warner Bros. cartoons: Looney Tunes. I remember watching a bunch of these cartoons every Saturday morning at home. Part of the fun was also hearing the excellent original music scores for most of these cartoons. The primary composer of interest to me was of course Carl Stalling whose last cartoon project was “To Itch His Own” in 1958. People talk about Max Steiner “mickey-mousing.” Well, that reference originally stemmed from cartoon music that tends to almost always “hit the mark” or synchronize music effects precisely with the fast-moving action on the screen. Stalling was a master of that. He and Max both are credited in fact for the creation of the “click track” method of aligning music to the running feet on the spool of film. Stalling also had use of the hey-day of the luscious and dynamic Warner Bros. orchestra. Currently there are five volumes of the dvd set, “Looney Tunes: The Golden Collection.” Many of these cartoon gems are provided, especially in Volume 2. The retail price for the first four volumes is normally about $65. As I am now writing in mid- November, you can get it on Amazon for $29 each. Only the recently-released Volume 5 is still at about $46. I researched three cartoon full scores back in the Nineties at USC/Warner Bros Archives. These include “Jumpin’ Jupiter (1955), “Stupor Duck” (1956), and “Speedy Gonzales (1955).

Cartoon Connections: Identifying Connections Between Language Use and Evolution Abstract In lieu of an abstract, below is the article's first paragraph. Holy Cowabunga, dude! You need to, like, stop having a cow, man! Does this sound familiar? In considering the extreme number of slang expressions that have infiltrated present- day English, it is no surprise that sayings such as these are so widely recognized. Cartoon shows and their characters have had an especially strong impact on the use and promotion of slang throughout the past century. With characters such as Bart Simpson and Beavis and Butthead leading the way, it has become nearly impossible to hold a conversation without using at least one word or saying that is a result of popular culture and its extensive influence.

On October 19, 2017, the City of Los Angeles ("City") Cultural Heritage Commission ("Commission") recommended that the City Council designate the Property as a Historic Cultural Monument ("HCM") based on the fact that Rudolf Ising is believed to have previously lived in the building for period of four years. In recommending designation based on such limited and unsubstantiated grounds, the Commission disregarded (a) the findings made by City staff that the Property does not warrant historic designation, (b) concurring opinions recommending against designation from established independent expert architectural historians, and (c) the HCM standards required under the Los Angeles Administrative Code ("LAAC"). The Commission also failed to consider the potentially offensive
