Today is the 100th birthday of Friz Freleng. Read more about it here from a nice variety of sources.
This caricature of him in his dapper days is my tribute. Every time I draw a bulbous nose or tiny tiny feet on a character, it's Friz.
My wife is an equally ardent fan of Mr. Freleng's cartoons. I asked her for her thoughts on this occasion. She said he was a cute old man.
True that.
