American SquareDance. June 2002 9 The Other Chuck Jones f

His face may not be famous, but the faces he drew are unmistakable. Chuck Jones died February 22, 2002 at his home. He was 89. "Chuck Jones idolized Mark Twain, thinking him the greatest American humorist. If Mark Twain had lived to see a Road Runner or Pepe Le Pew cartoon, he might well have returned the compliment, because Chuck Jones was a great American humorist, too. He was one of the most prolific and distinguished madcaps of the 20th century" - Tom Shales, Washington Post Not only did Chuck, the cartoonist, create Bugs Bunny, Pepe Le Pew, and the duo of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote just to name a few, but Chuck was also a square dancer! We reprint for your enjoyment, two articles. The first from American SquareDance, April 1995 and the second from Sets in Order, November 1958.
