It's a sad day in animation, folks. Chuck Jones passed away this afternoon at the age of 90. Read the sad news and the comments:

Very sad, indeed...

Here's a news story about this (correction: he was actually 89 years old, presumably not having turned 90 yet):

This may explain--

--why the Timberwolf webtoons have been rerunning at the Warner Bros. site. The last new one was "Bite Me", I believe.

The last of the old guard is gone. It is truly a sad day.

There are few people that have been a bigger influence on animation in general than Chuck. He will never be forgotten.
