Jerry was kind enough to notify us there as soon as he heard the news. This is indeed a very sad day for all animation fans.

So
What happens with the Looney Babies and Duck Dodger series? Do they proceed with planning/production as usual? Or doestheir fate hang in the balance?

I don't think that they were counting on Chuck for either of those. I kind of doubt that Chuck would've even gone near LT Babies. Some people wondered if he would be involved in Duck Dodgers, but now it's clear he won't be.

People are still wondering what will happen to his online Timberwolf cartoons.

A great animation figure leaves. But it isn't a sad day--rather, if you look at all he's accomplished, the man has done A LOT and one couldn't ask for a more satisfying resume. His name will live on. If I manage to accomplish even a quarter of what he did in my life, I'd still be very satisfied. Such is the greatness and longevity of his works...

Cartoon Network has already put up memorial cartoons. Very tasteful, very well done.

Truly a great, he will truly be missed.

Indeed, there were few people who had more of an influence on animation in general than Chuck. He'll always be remembered.

Godspeed, Chuck... May your ideas never dry up and may your ink flow freely in the Great Beyond.

Words can not express how truly great this man was! He created a standard for all great cartoons to aspire to. My parents grew up with his cartoons, and so did I. The world will surely miss him.
